Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.

Pros
"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job.""The on-premise version has quite good scalability.""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.""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.""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.""I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop.

Cons
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields.""Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets.""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.""Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved.""I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers.""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."
