Pros
"It stands out for its ability to work across different platforms, support mainframe data, offer cloud integration, automate report scheduling, and provide a robust scripting language.""I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

More Information Builders WebFOCUS Pros →

"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.""The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job.""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.""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.""The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them.""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.""The on-premise version has quite good scalability."

Cons
"When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data.""If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product."

More Information Builders WebFOCUS Cons →

"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI.""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 documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets.""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.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
