"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."

"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."

"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."
"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
