Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We can easily do our own customizations.""The concept of engines is quite powerful allowing the user to work with report authoring/provisioning tools of their choice.""The embedding feature is great."

"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI.""It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need.""The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features""The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions.""The solution scales extremely well.""Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well.""The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."

Cons
"The only challenge here is that it's a Java-based platform. It requires very high technical skills.""The dashboard components could be better.""Development of SpagoBI has now been moved to Knowage. Users interested in further developments of the platform will have to look there.""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."

More Knowage Cons →

"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms.""Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets.""The product is expensive.""The tool needs to simplify its features.""Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data.""They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope.""The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better.""There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It allows the implementation of an effective reporting system using internal skills at a limited upfront cost."
  • "Knowage is open-source, and an enterprise edition is also available."
  • More Knowage Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Salesforce has a subscription-based licensing structure, where it's between $20 to $75 per month, per user."
  • "The biggest challenge we had was the cost and the licensing. We ended up getting an enterprise licensing agreement(ELA). That took a lot of negotiations and a lot of pressure. We were able to receive a good price for the community licensing they bundled Salesforce Einstein Analytics. They bundled a lot of capabilities with us with the ELA."
  • "Although it was deemed slightly expensive and failed the cost analysis we conducted in our company, we proceeded with the purchase because we desired to have a leading CRM system in the industry."
  • "Price-wise, Salesforce Einstein Analytics is an expensive tool."
  • "I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
  • "The solution is expensive."
  • "Salesforce Einstein Analytics can be considered somewhat expensive, depending on the company's needs. If they want the complete package with all the features, it's pricier. It all comes down to what the company requires from the platform."
