Cons

More Birst Cons →

"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets.""It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers.""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.""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."
