Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries.""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 on-premise version has quite good scalability.""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 seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them.""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.""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."

"We solve issues that we previously could not since we now have the data.""The initial setup is really straightforward. It's one of the easiest installations.""Splunk is extremely flexible, which allows us to create custom visualizations along with other customizations.""Splunk setup is easy and straightforward. ​""The ability to ingest different log types from many different products in our environment is most valuable.""This solution helps us increase our productivity.""Splunk is quite flexible for our customers. Splunk does not filter from a specific lock, you can define it later.""Being able to track impossible travel logins and things of that nature is valuable. We can track user logins from various IPs, various countries, and at various times to see if everything adds up."

Cons
"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.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""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.""The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary."

More Pyramid Analytics Cons →

"The support that is included with the standard licensing fee is very bad.""It is a hugely complicated product.""The glass table feature does not perform as expected.""The cluster environment should be improved. We have a cluster. In the Splunk cluster environment, in the case of heavy searches and heavy load, the Splunk cluster goes down, and we have to put it in the maintenance mode to get it back. We are not able to find the actual culprit for this issue. I know that cluster has RF and SF, but it has been down so many times. There should be something in Splunk to help users to find the reason and the solution for such issues.""DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down.""It would be nice if they had a wizard to construct searches, including more complex searches that include math or statistics.""It would be nice if Splunk reduced the cost of training. Their training sessions are way too costly.""In terms of the interface, it could include some improvements for the look and feel."
