"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 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.""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.""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.""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."

Cons
"It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary.""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.""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 documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid.""I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI.""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."
