Birst has made it easier for us to provide embedded data visualization tools to our customers.

Prior to using Birst, Apex did not have BI readily available to the customers. Now we have three tool sets, each matching one of our product lines. The customers are able to see patterns and trends never before available. It opens up their eyes to changing their business to increase profitability.

Our organization is helping a cancer hospital bring insight from their data. We work on highly regulated PHI data.

Data can be downloaded unto the Birst server, which means the analyst can run their own analysis without issues.

The objective of using Birst-mediated dashboards is to deliver interactive and online information to our clients in a client-specific and data-distributed format. We are yet to realize the real return on the investment given the need to alter the underlying intention of the product’s use.

The ways in which it has improved the working of our organization are mentioned below:

• Limited overhead resourcing (a single skill set is required).
• Dramatic reduction in the time needed to create either PoC implementations or defined software products.
• Ability to create a ‘packaged’ BI product which can be considered as a plug-n-play opportunity, either as an internal asset or more importantly for sale in the market.

We are a vendor/partner, so we have been able to create a valuable business model for migrating our customers from legacy systems to this cloud BI platform. Internally, we are gradually introducing this product enterprise-wide to support various operational divisions. As a partner we host our own Appliances for the SMB market in the Benelux area.

Most of our customers are interested in dashboards and self-service reports. We are able to offer them these features with this solution.

It has provided new levels of analytic consolidation.

It has given us the ability to join all our data sources into one place to streamline reporting and analytics. It is important for security and reporting integrity to keep internal and external users separate. This prevents mishaps with externally facing material.

We use Birst for developing solutions and prototypes, that are helpful for our customers.

We actually do not use it anymore as it did not meet our needs.

We are a golden partner of Birst. We use our Birst expertise to deliver Birst projects to customers.

In general, Birst as a cloud VI solution is a user-friendly tool that looks really nice and engages users straight away.

Users can now explore data that they couldn't do before, as well as use quick meaningful representations to understand the data and drive business growth. Traditional data exploration tasks that included complicated formulas can now be transformed into interactive dashboards.

Everything we did in the marketing team needed to be based on data and Birst helped us to make calculated decisions based on the given data.

I built dashboards for the sales and marketing department which helped them do forecasting.

The user can view a product usage dashboard within the SFDC.

Daily, weekly, and monthly automated reports delivered to senior management. Prior to this rollout, there was no visibility.

Unfortunately for us, we are looking for better options other than Birst as it is not so user friendly.
