Get insights of your data on the fly with DBI

Luis SilvaView profile
BI developer and consultant in Research & Development at Medidata.Net - Sistemas de Informação para Autarquias, S.A. (51-200 employees employees)

Pros

  • Creating data analysis on the fly is very easy! You only need to create a data connector and from there you can start analysing your data just by draging and droping atributes from tables to the canvas!
  • For executives with little time for viewing dashboards, you can create scheduled or data driven notification that can send the dashboard by email!
  • At any time you can revisualize your data with different visualization, e.g., a bar chart can change to a line chart with just two clicks!
  • DBI version 4 has introduced some awesome features: data correction, what-if-analysis, some new types of data visualizations like sankey chart, correlation matrix, support for svg files.

Cons

  • I felt the need to create a calculated metric based on metrics from different metric sets

Return on Investment

  • We did manage to sell the solution implemented with Dundas easily

Dundas BI Version 5, Meeting all your dashboard needs with a smile

Incentivized
James DavisView profile
System Architect in Information Technology at Yulista Aviation, Inc. (501-1000 employees employees)

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • Setting up security is easy but reviewing it later could be made easier.
  • Dashboard templates - tried to use them but I do not design mine to fit in a box.
