CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Unified data workflows have improved reporting quality and now support better decisions
The best features Pyramid Analytics offers include a broad range of features, which I think is one of the advantages of it. It has a lot of connectors and a lot of different capabilities. I would say end-to-end capabilities is one of the nice features of it. Regarding the end-to-end capabilities and lots of connectors, I found the connectors most valuable. If you are trying to do Snowflake, SQL server, or any of the normal database platforms that you see in the cloud or on-premises, it has those connectors built in. You don't have to worry about writing custom drivers. That is a nice feature to have. Pyramid Analytics has impacted my organization positively in that I use it for my clients' organizations. For my organization, it is great because it gives me a technology platform that clients enjoy using and I am proficient with. For my clients, it is about delivering on their aspirations in terms of what they want to do with their data and where they want to head in their organization. This is definitely a tool that we can use in order to get there. After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting. I think that streamlining has a positive effect on the quality of the outputs. The quality of the outputs definitely leads to better decision making.

Real-time executive visibility has replaced spreadsheets and drives daily sales decisions
Toucan Toco offers excellent features, including the quick ability to create Stories and KPIs based on the data that we're storing in our data warehouse. We leverage the functionality within Toucan Toco to quickly build out a code-free environment, providing a code-free way of sharing both graphs and KPIs to track and deliver visibility to key data elements. Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time. This shift to real-time sharing has brought clarity to consistent metrics and real-time visibility to activity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Management decided to change from Power BI to Pyramid Analytics, and this decision has been very beneficial because cost is lower for hundreds of users while maintaining data security, accuracy, and reliability, leading to improved sales, acquisition of many new clients, project expansion, and better operations through consolidated agriculture activities and easier compliance reporting."
"Pyramid Analytics has allowed us to be more insightful in our reporting, positively impacting our organization."
"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"This solution is convenient and works well with simple data sets."
"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries."
"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."
"With Pyramid Analytics, data analysis that took about half a day just takes half an hour right now, and in terms of overall revenue, we have seen a 100% increase in our overall revenue with the help of Pyramid Analytics."
"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."
"Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time."
 

Cons

"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."
"Regarding how Pyramid Analytics can be improved, I honestly think we had some issues in connecting Pyramid Analytics with SAP; it is not so easy as we have been told, and this is something that could be a really good feature to improve to enable users to be more self-sufficient to manage this kind of activity."
"Some things that are easily accomplished in Power BI are more complicated in Pyramid Analytics."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
"When creating a data model in Pyramid Analytics, it's a bit complicated compared to other tools, especially to Microsoft BI."
"One thing that could be added that could be useful is more rich data cataloging, which Pyramid Analytics doesn't really have at the moment."
"I found Pyramid Analytics to have some reliability issues; there was a time when the service was down for about a week, impacting our development and client dashboards, which should not happen, as data products should always be operational."
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."
"I chose nine because Stories can cascade on top of each other and be a bit complicated when they create multiple data sets underneath the Stories to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is not excessively expensive, but it does increase with the addition of new features and modules."
