Datameer, a Big Data BI tool, has been widely utilized by various departments within our organization. Non-technical analysts have found it particularly helpful for running high-power analytics on large data sets, simplifying the complexity of SQL or scripting languages used in Apache/Cloudera tools. The user-friendly GUI of Datameer supports nearly 200 built-in functions and allows for the creation of custom functions from imported PMML models.

Additionally, several departments have leveraged Datameer to aggregate vast amounts of data from different sources, enabling the generation of reports and dashboards for various business units. This tool has also proven effective in building use-case-driven data pipelines, eliminating the need for a dedicated data ops team and resulting in valuable time and cost savings. Its ease of use, without the requirement of coding knowledge, has made it accessible to business teams across the organization.

Furthermore, Datameer has served as a proof of concept for Hadoop for information technology and engineering teams, aiming to provide an analytical platform for all departments. It is the go-to platform for building data pipelines for real-world applications, especially when dealing with unstructured or semi-structured data. For example, it has been successfully utilized to extract, transform, and load data from local servers to a cloud-based data warehouse, supporting the reporting and dashboard infrastructure of the company.

The fact that Datameer users do not need coding knowledge has contributed significantly to its adoption by businesses looking to empower non-technical analysts while still harnessing the power of big data. With its wide range of functionalities and its ability to simplify complex tasks, Datameer has become an invaluable asset in our organization's big data analytics workflow.

Users recommend integrating Datameer with modern data warehouses like Snowflake or AWS and drawing their own conclusions. They find it easy to integrate with Snowflake and perform transformations. They also suggest trying out the tool alongside these data warehouses to see its capabilities firsthand.

Users recommend considering Datameer as an affordable option compared to other vendors like Informatica and Fivetran. They mention that the Spectrum engine autoscale is included in the price, making it a cost-effective choice.

Users recommend embracing Datameer's ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) approach for data processing and seeking support if needed. They appreciate the responsiveness of Datameer's support team.

We choose Datameer as my go-to platform for building up data pipelines for real-world applications. Recently, we have also begun using it to ETL data from our local servers to our cloud-based data warehouse. These pipelines are the lifeblood of my company's reporting and dashboard infrastructure. With Datameer, we were able to save money and resources that would have been used to establish and maintain a dedicated data operations team. The fact that Datameer users don't need to know how to code has led to the platform's adoption by businesses.
  • Connect to a broad variety of data sources with the help of robust connector support.
  • Its user interface is quite similar to that of Excel, making it easy to access your data.
  • Since it doesn't require any prior understanding of programming, there is a minimal learning curve for new users.
  • Concentration issues are possible while using a lot of tabs at once.
  • In most cases, the length of a tutorial video is excessive.
  • A more condensed design is certainly a viable option.
Datameer's workbooks include an intuitive GUI for maximum usability. Anyone with an analytical mind may easily compile data using the built-in worksheet capability without requiring much technological knowledge. Ad hoc reports may now be made and scheduled. In addition, I haven't had too much problem fixing things because I can get most of the answers I want there.
  • Expedite the process of reaping the rewards. To learn how to utilize Datameer as a developer takes less than a day.
  • The workspace's drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to move about in a hurry.
  • Simple-to-schedule information processing pipelines.
Based on our findings, we are unable to utilize the Apache Hive platform due to the associated costs. We also looked into Informatica, but decided against it because of its expensive pricing and poor integration with other BI products. Those unfamiliar with SQL may nevertheless use this tool to build complex transformation processes after a brief onboarding session.

I use Datameer for building use-case-driven data pipelines. We are also now using it to ETL on-premises data to a cloud data warehouse. These pipelines are used to enable reports and dashboards for various business units in my organization. Using Datameer has saved us a lot of time and money and we didn't need to hire a data ops team. Datameer is easy to use with no need to write code, so business teams are even using it.
  • Scales data processing using elastic compute framework (Spark)
  • Simplifies the process of building ETL data pipelines in the cloud
  • Extensive data source connectivity and easily connects to source data using connectors
  • A fast learning curve with a no-code interface so anyone can use it
  • It provides an Excel-like interface to have quick and simple access to data
  • Transformation speed
  • Many tabs sometimes reduce your focus
  • Might be better to have a more compact design
  • Video tutorials are a little long
  • Good for companies looking to scale up data processing over the next few years. Datameer has per-user pricing so we do not worry about ETL costs spiraling out of control compared to other products, like Fivetran, that price per usage.
  • Very powerful transformation capabilities.
  • Lots of built-in features required for operationalizing pipelines that would otherwise require the use of multiple tools.
  • Great tool if you need to ETL data to a cloud data warehouse like Snowflake. Datameer replaces our need for a data ops team.
  • Solid integration with other BI products like Tableau and PowerBI and also data from Google Analytics and Facebook Ads.
  • Quick time to value. Transition from developer to learning Datameer is less than a day.
  • Workspace is drag and drop, which makes it intuitive and easy to use.
  • Speed of data transformations.
  • Pulling data from various sources.
  • Easy to schedule data pipelines.
  • Tailor made for Snowflake and Redshift.
  • Documentation is sometimes not updated quickly.
  • Training videos are a bit long.
Pricing, support, and ease of use. We plan to scale up our data over the net few years and Datameer gives us all the things we need in one tool. Handles large transformations quickly and works with all the cloud data warehouses.

Datameer's per-user pricing sealed the deal for us as we plan to transfer much more data over the next few years. We looked at Fivetran but the usage pricing discourages growth. We also looked at Informatica but it was too expensive and didn't work as well with other BI tools like Datameer does.
