Course5 Discovery vs. Panoply

We rely heavily on Course5 for our business decisions every day. It gives us insights that we were really missing before getting set up with Course5.

Incentivized

Panoply is well suited for companies with large amounts of data that do not want all users of the company to see or view. It is appropriate for companies that have to store data for several years in case clients need the data. It is not made to constantly be downloading or looking at the documents.

Incentivized

• Data Visualization.
• Predictive Modeling.
• Trend Analysis.
• Data Analysis.

Incentivized

• Ease of data integrations. Importing data into the data warehouse is a point-and-click effort.
• Automated data modeling. The data is modeled in a way that facilitates analysis without having to look into it myself.
• Query speed. Automated query optimization has really sped up our dashboards.

• I do wish there was a feature that keeps a dynamic list of company benchmarks that update in real-time and use that to be a comparison goal line in metrics.
• Some of the SQL syntax highlighting/auto-completion will not work.
• Sometimes text widgets will just "disappear" after I have dragged them onto the canvas.

Incentivized

• The user interface could use some improvement for analytical tools. Apart from that, it’s great.

It’s a good choice for building a quick, multipurpose data stack for a variety of businesses needs.

Having the ability to see data from so many sources for our finance, support, marketing, and sales departments at a glance without having to pull data every day and make pivot tables each time is absolutely critical for us. Our leadership team is able to make crucial business decisions more quickly and more easily thanks to Course5.

Incentivized

Panoply has much more storage and better organization tools for searching. There are better folders and tools for keeping documents secure and stored for a long period of time. It is better to offload data in mass than singular or Zip drive documents like you would do in Google Drive.

Incentivized

• We saved time because the analytics were presented in a way that made sense.
• Return on Investment.
• Scalability as a company.

Incentivized

• Saved time on Redshift setup
• Saved support costs (monetary and temporal) by not having to set up on-premise
• Widens the BI tool use in organization; lowers the barrier to entry and makes organization more productive in analytical terms
