Dundas BI Valuable Features

Ishwar Saswade - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Techknomatic Services Private Limited

The primary reasons why the client opted for Dundas BI were the cost, integration options, and creative visuals.

With Dundas BI, you have a lot of visualization choices, and you can also do customizations by using HTML coding and JavaScript. The ease of development was one of the main factors for going for Dundas BI. The client had different reporting tools, but they wanted something that could accommodate all requirements.

It was quite easy to use. The UI was basically drag-and-drop based. So, even if you were a beginner at coding software or something else, it would be easy to catch up on Dundas BI.

I like the drag-and-drop feature for creating dashboards. The solution also provides a lot of different filters that can be customized according to how you'd like the dashboard to perform. You can change column orders and tables, and it's also possible to add formulas. When I had to use a filter, I was able to quickly navigate it and create multiple views in the same dashboard.

The flexibility of the dashboard designer is great. You can control every single pixel and no matter what the user asks for we can deliver. It has a lot of out-of-the-box options that you can use to customize your dashboard. 

There is also the option to use their JavaScript API, however, in 99% of the cases, the built-in options are more than enough. 

I also love the control you have on what queries Dundas BI is generating against our databases. This allows us to create really fast dashboards even when running against millions of records.

The ability to warehouse query results. This is good because you do not have to have a data warehouse, you let Dundas warehouse the results of a query that runs long during off hours.

For me it is the Layers feature. It organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down.

An excellent IDE, that makes building views, like reports and dashboards a breeze. Excellent data visualizations objects and components, each of them customizable enough!

 Data cubes are the heart of the tool, you can define your data workflow very easy with the help of diagrams! This is where your ETL is done and you can do it with the diagram help or, for SQL addicts, which by the way I am:), write you own sql scripts.
