The feature set is richer, and price is reasonable. We felt we were paying more for Tableau's name than their features, as updates are slow.

We have tested Tableau prior to Dundas BI and though Tableau is a great package in itself, Dundas BI is much more cost-effective for our needs and requirements and hence zeroed in on Dundas BI.
We have also tried microstrategy but it has a very dated UI and doesn't suit our …
The ETL for DBI is much more easy than what I experienced when I used QlikView! The QlikView language for ETL was somehow different from anyother languages I used before, on the other side DBI ETL is workflow based, with nodes to perform joins, aggregations, filter and sorting! …

Dundas ticks all the relevant boxes: - set up actually easy and works (was not the case for Pentaho) - you do not need one license per email address you want to send reports to (as for Tableau)
Dundas is an easier GUI overall to navigate and is a lot more visually configurable. The number of data connectors available also allows us to use it as a solution for many projects. The support provided is quick and prompt, with great technical depth when required.
We found that Dundas BI struck the perfect balance between ease of use and flexibility, while still remaining within a reasonable budget. Other products were either to technical, lacked functionality, or "broke the bank".
Per dollar spent, it offers the widest range of features of the tools that we evaluated. It offers lots of options for how to configure your environment, though they are not always intuitive to figure out. Having an ETL layer was a must have for us, as well as the ability to …
Much better for multi-tenancy. Power bi just doesn't have many features and is just lackluster. Telerik doesn't look as good although slightly more powerful with data manipulation. Too many BI reporting tools out there don't offer multi-tenancy and I have no idea why. It is …
We were comparing Dundas BI against several other programs and eventually decided to go with Oracle as we were already using a host of their other products. Dundas was just as robust, we were just using more Oracle products and they all fit together very smoothly.
Personally as a dashboard software I use Qlik Sense more because I consider it a very simple product to use, but this is a personal choice. However, for some things, it does not satisfy me fully. In my opinion, they are software that are alternated depending on the customer in …
It is a very good tool for dashboard and scorecard design. It looks great. However, it requires a lot of work regarding renaming components, deploying between different environments, and scripting customized functionalities.
Dundas has a newer feel to the software and gives us more flexibility than the other products.

These other products tend to do quite a poor job of allowing you to embed them into other products. Either the architecture is not suited to embedding or they make it too expensive to do this. Dundas is designed and priced to do this (embedding) well. We found Dundas …

Found Tableau was powerful, but did not have some of the more beneficial feature sets (like sharing links, and notes) that Dundas BI offers.
Dundas and Sisense are very similar. Both are very powerful and flexible with an eye toward further innovation. I expect both will do well as we enter a major transition period for BI.
Periscope Data and Dundas differ substantially and seem to have different paths forward. …
Dundas BI offers a high level of visual customization in the dashboards if required (through CSS, JavaScript, HTML) as well data customization (C#) in the data cubes. We are an organization that believes in doing as much as possible for ourselves and not replying on …

We were a user of Dundas Dashboard previously. We had explored other tools, but we ended up upgrading to Dundas BI because of the HTML 5 compliance (no more Silverlight requirement), ease of use and time to market. The other tools could do the job, but they were not as flexible …
I selected Dundas BI to be our preferred partner since we saw that it the most flexible tool that allows our customers to design their dashboards in they way that they are not restricted in their development process.
It is much more powerful to build more interactive and feature rich dashboards. Most of the above are great at ad hoc analysis but not for providing a full feature and rich guided dashboard experience. Dundas BI is great to build a suite of dashboards and easy to deploy …
For all the scenarios I have so far worked on or I am currently working on, Dundas BI has proved to be more than adequate and apt to handle all of those. It is a very easy-to-use tool with quick shortcuts enabling you to prepare ad-hoc reports or dashboards in a matter of minutes.
Project organization from Development to Production, you get a production and development license but I think the best way to do it is with DEV and Prod project in the Production box. Use the development box for testing updates and really crazy things. With the Dev and Prod projects on the same box, you just publish from Dev to Prod and you are done. Users only have access to the Prod projects so no one can mess up what you are working on.
Security - If you have a hierarchy (subsidiaries, divisions, department, teams) and you want each group to see only their data, then Security hierarchies are for you!
Dependent filters! What's this you ask? Here is an example of how it can be used, in your company you have departments and who works for what department is in your database. You make a dashboard that has a department filter (only show these departments), a managers filter, and employee filter. Not every manager or employee is in multiple departments usually only one. With dependent filters you can say that the manager and employee filter are dependent on what is selected in the departments filter so when you go to filter them they only show the managers or employees that are part of that department, and you can even it do so employees are not only dependent on department but on manager as well. Then it gets even better as it can be done in reverse as well so when you select a manager then go to the department it only shows the departments he works for (there are better situations where this is more useful).
It is scriptable! From calculate columns, null replacements, button actions, load actions, hover over events there a way to do what you want.
They are constantly improving and listens to your suggestions.
Not too many cons for how we use the application. It really is easy and powerful. Very powerful.
Licensing is one thing that could be looked into. It is simple, but a little confusing. For example, if I get a license today, but a new release comes out tomorrow, it seems that the license doesn't work with the new release. Maybe that is by design, but it would be nice to clearly understand.
We are still in the implementation phase, but so far we are finding it to be easy to use and learn. The eLearning courses that they have made available for free, as well as User Forums and other training videos have made even difficult concepts easier to understand.
We have bi-weekly calls with our Success Manager, as well as access to support as needed. Any question that I have had, multiple people have been willing and able to jump on a call to talk me through it, or send an email with the solution
Per dollar spent, it offers the widest range of features of the tools that we evaluated. It offers lots of options for how to configure your environment, though they are not always intuitive to figure out. Having an ETL layer was a must have for us, as well as the ability to host to secure HIPAA compliance. It is not a replacement for ad hoc reporting, but does a great job of creating parameterized reports and dashboards that look great.
