Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice.""We can easily do our own customizations.""The embedding feature is great.""I can't name the features the way the Knowage community calls them because I still don't know the lingo. However, I can describe them. I like the ability to join more than one report, set all fields on one end, and replicate that on the other reports. I like that a lot. I think it's one of the features that got me using Knowage. They have tables, and I like that too. They took SQL scripts and many other scripts and enabled them to even correlate with Python. That's also one of the best things about Knowage. You could also decide to get information per user role, and this is also a feature that I like in Knowage."

"I like Location Analytics' geofencing features for devices. You can manage thousands of devices with just a push of a button and deploy applications in seconds. For example, in schools, you can deploy an app update for thousands of iPads in just two clicks.""In general, it is helpful because it allows administrators to see where the Wi-Fi and network services are being most used.""The initial setup process is easy.""Technical support has always been very good."

Cons
"The dashboard components could be better.""It would be better if more resources were available to help us learn how to use it. I wanted to use Knowage for a more extended period, but learning materials around the product were not really available and were not really straightforward. I've also seen inconsistencies between versions. For example, under the tools, especially in the cockpit, the way you create reports is now different. You will also find some configurations within a particular state, like a line chart, which differs from version to version. I think consistency is an essential feature in a product, especially for business intelligence products.""Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there.""The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills."

More Knowage Cons →

"The pricing is a pain point for us. It's a bit expensive.""The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners.""The biggest issue is negotiating the price with a client. That's the most complicated part, but the product is worth it.""I would like to see all of the features included in a single package."
