Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We can easily do our own customizations.""The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice.""I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage.""The embedding feature is great."

"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use.""The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data.""Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."

Cons
"It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products.""Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there.""The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills.""The dashboard components could be better."

More Knowage Cons →

"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future.""I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma.""The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
