Offers dashboards and self-service reports. The report performance is very slow.
Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain Most of our customers are interested in dashboards and self-service reports. We are able to offer them these features with this solution. Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution The report…

Data Science Intern at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.
* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Users can jump to the Birst dashboard from SFDC without a repeat login."
"Its ability to create a complete, end-to-end BI solution using a single software stack product is the most valuable feature."
"This is the best cloud based BI platform/solution out there."
"Everything we did in the marketing team needed to be based on data and Birst helped us to make calculated decisions based on the given data."
"In general, Birst as a cloud VI solution is a user-friendly tool that looks really nice and engages users straight away."
"We have been able to scale pretty quickly and easily; it has been a great experience and I love this product."
"This tool possesses valuable features such as its ability to perform ETL, extract data from various sources (flat files, relational DBs, application connectors) and dashboard scheduling."
"Birst uses several connection methods to take data in from your data sources and stages it into its own data mart, and this staging from several sources makes Birst a fairly robust data warehouse solution."
"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."
 

Cons

"Error logging is cumbersome to work through to find issues."
"The ETL, querying, and user interface did not accommodate our performance requirements."
"The cost-benefit was not great."
"My own experience just made me think that this was a hidden cost that they tried to hide, but keeping that in mind, it might only be my experience as to how this surfaced for us, because I had this image of Birst that you pay this amount and get everything."
"Owing to the above reasons, we could not make use of the Birst tool productively."
"As the volume of data gets bigger and bigger, so does the extraction/processing of the data and the dashboard rendering."
"For complex reports with heavy calculations, performance can be improved."
"I would want to see some improvement in the user management module."
"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Please negotiate on the price and purchase the latest version."
