Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The on-premise version has quite good scalability.""It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them.""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.""It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data.""The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI.""The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job.""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."

"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept.""Associative model - no more cubes.""QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data""It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations.""The scalability is there.""On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL.""It's pretty easy to deploy.""If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."

Cons
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI.""It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary.""There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard.""There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."

More Pyramid Analytics Cons →

"If a user wanted to see something not included in the application the new object had to be created by a power user or developer because Qlik view's scripting has somewhat of a learning curve.""This solution would be improved with the inclusion of a feature that would allow us to add a common library of (our) commands used in load scripts and expressions, so with a keyword, we would get a drop down to select the command we are looking for, as opposed to the generic help.""I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields.""They could improve the update time.""There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device.""It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data.""QlikView's UI could be more user-friendly.""Sometimes, dealing with complex reports requires more effort, which could be really improved."
