Automated reporting has freed time for deeper analysis and improved budget and variance reviews
A specific example of how my team uses Cube in our day-to-day work is that above all, Cube has vastly enhanced our ability to get financial reporting done quickly and free up our time to really dig deep into various accounts. This has greatly improved the accuracy of our financial results beyond what you would even believe. The clean portal and organization help my team by making it easy to navigate and the data collected is very clean and managed in an understandable manner, hence making it very easy to make data-driven decisions. Regarding the features, customer service is great, customization of financial reports, ease of integration with other tools seamlessly, continuous system testing and upgrades, and easy creation of monthly and P&L variance analysis. Data import and export is smooth and efficient. Monthly reporting and analysis is easy to pull and update. The positive impact Cube has had on my organization includes additional time for analysis, less than budgeted spend, and more accurate financial results resulting in better decisions. The error rate has reduced from 40 to 50%. The reduction in errors has affected my team and the business overall by improving speed and efficiency for month-end close processes. Better consolidation of data for long-term trend analysis is evident, and easy P&L creation and variance analysis has been great.

Has a lot of integration and visualization options, but can't be easily used by business users, and working with the color palette is difficult
With Dundas BI, we do not have end-users apart from the developers. End-users do not find it easy to create their own reports. Most of the implementations I have seen require a developer team for creating the visuals, and they then give them to end-users. A self-serve part where end-users or business users can create their own reports would help in terms of the adoption of Dundas BI. Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do. Even when a developer starts working on Dundas BI, he needs to spend at least one month or so getting used to the functionalities of Dundas BI. Even then, it is not easy to remember where or how they made a certain property change. It takes at least one month for a developer to get acquainted with it. Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart. Dundas can further reduce the number of settings they have. When you create any chart in Dundas, you get a lot of features to control each setting, which is pretty useful for BI, but for end-users, it is difficult to identify the exact settings to change a property. I would love it if some of the options come pre-selected. If some of the settings are set to best practices by default, it will be helpful. Whenever we have any issues, the error messages that we get in Dundas BI are not very helpful in identifying the root cause. Making these changes will bring a lot of change to the end-user experience.

Quotes from Members

"Implementation was super smooth, and within two weeks we were up and running and the metrics were exposed in our app."
"The Layers feature organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down."
"Once you get in the groove it is fantastic and makes me highly productive and provides my customers with beautiful data visualizations without very much effort on my part."
"Overall Dundas BI has been great."
"Currently Dundas BI enables us to provide more rich and interactive data visualizations for end users and this has helped to show performance issues."
"It was quite easy to use. The UI was basically drag-and-drop based. So, even if you were a beginner at coding software or something else, it would be easy to catch up on Dundas BI."
"Our users are happy because we use the flexibility of Dundas to provide highly customized and targeted solutions that give justice to the many different use cases we need to cover."
"It was quite easy to use. The UI was basically drag-and-drop based. So, even if you were a beginner at coding software or something else, it would be easy to catch up on Dundas BI."

Cons

"Cube can be improved by enhancing data refresh over multiple tabs."
"Cube's interface can be challenging for non-technical users, needing clearer use-case examples to ease integration into workflows."
"There is no way to create a real template that is not exposed directly in the UI."
"I did not see any return on investment from Cube."
"Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart."
"My current preference would be to work with Tableau or Power BI because they're more user intuitive and both have a good user interface."
"The API they have can do just about anything, but their documentation on the API and examples are only for some of the basics."
"For every object, references are generated, but sometimes, there was a problem with the references overlapping each other; everything would go off, it would stop working, and then from the admin side, people had to do something to bring it up again."
"They still need to add some visualisations and could continue to improve the UI to allow users to easily find what they need within the many different options."
"A few more different data visualizations wouldn't hurt."
"Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do."
"Documentation improvements or additions to help with the learning curve when starting with BI, but once you get in the groove it is fantastic and makes me highly productive and provides my customers with beautiful data visualizations without very much effort on my part."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I'm not aware of its cost. Its licensing was probably role-wise. Most of us had reader access, editor access, or developer access. For admin, there were certain restrictions. So, I'm assuming it had role-wise licensing."
"I am not majorly involved in its licensing. We are not the end license purchaser of the Dundas BI. It costs somewhere around $4,000 a year for the enterprise solution, but I am not sure."
