Simple, Reliable and Fast, that's Savant Labs
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Savant to automate reports that the operation needs, this reports needed to be as live as possible and since Power BI reporting does not have those direct connections to our data warehouse in snowflake Savant came in and saved us. We now have all of our automated reports, updates, emails programmed with Savant with the most up to date data, in addition, we can have dynamic filtering, do transformations to the data before it gets send, choose the format for this data, is really all over the place.
Pros

- Connect to your data source for live data
- it's very simple to use, create an analysis and automate it is really easy
- all the different data sources is compatible with, even slack
Cons
- Let the user implement HTML code to the automated emails
- let you sync again with the data source when a new column is added without the need to re run the bot
- dark theme.
Return on Investment
- We can rely on Savant to reduce our capacity units from our power bi license by automating reports there
- we don't have to worry about sending emails with new data all the time
- We needed 2 people for our data pull request demand with Savant just 1 person can maintain the entire reporting system
