Overall Satisfaction with Birst
We are using Birst for our complete BI practice. This tool takes care of ETL, database and data visualization. All the departments in our organization are entitled to a single BI tool which is built by the IT operations team. We use Hyperion reports but reports in BIRST have a good user interface. This tool helps us to visualize the sales data and helps in forecasting and decision making.
- Speed - It reads the data from flat files very quickly and performs transformations quickly.
- Intuitive dashboard. It produces attractive dashboards which are easy for the business user to understand the data.
- It is very easy to use and the customization it offers helps to build as per one's need.
- Predictive analytics can be more accurate.
- Though it is easy to use, select modules/features need training to use.
- The help or any question posted in the community will not be answered quickly. More customer support is needed.
Birst is an end to end tool for BI. You don't have to deal with many software manufacturers. The cloud based BI in birst is very helpful which provides availability of data within a secure environment.
