We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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 on-premise version has quite good scalability.""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 seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them.""The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""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 allows for transparency into IT metrics for insightful business analytics.""The ability to ingest any data and display it in a way that anyone can understand.""The solution's most valuable feature is that it helps with our use cases to detect anomalies in our data and it is important to my company since we have a lot of data on different logs on the systems.""The dashboard and reporting are very good... It provides very good visibility in a hybrid cloud environment, and you can build custom utilization APIs using Splunk.""We are using Microsoft 365 and we're using the Exchange Mail Service. It's good for monitoring that in particular.""If I need to integrate devices for logs, it is easier with Splunk. We can integrate different applications, network devices, and databases. It is also very rich in documents. It is the best.""Compared to IBM QRadar, Splunk Enterprise Security offers faster alert resolution.""The solution is stable and reliable."

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

More Pyramid Analytics Cons →

"The presence of multiple layers creates a significant challenge for monitoring across cloud environments.""The setup time is quite long.""The administration of the cluster and app deployment to indexers or search heads can be done only using ssh access and command line, there is no GUI tools for that.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""Queries are not always as easy or straightforward as they might be, so it can be difficult to figure out what you need to look for.""They can incorporate the SOAR solution within the actual product so that we do not require two different products, two different installations, and two different pricing methods. In regards to UBA, I am familiar with the UBA that existed two years ago. I am not updated about it today, but two years ago, UBA required such an amount of data that from a cost perspective, it was not worth it. When you compare it to what you get out of the box with Microsoft Sentinel without additional costs, there is no match.""There are limitations with Splunk not detecting all user activity, especially on mainframes and network devices.""Given the ever-increasing number of threats, I would like Splunk to update its threat signatures more frequently."
