Overall Satisfaction with Birst

We leverage Birst in two ways. First, it is the access point into one of our turnkey analytics environments. The second use is as a white-labeled solution for our operational reporting. The second use case is being leveraged by both internal resources as well as clients.

Pros

  • Birst has proven itself to be easy to navigate for business users.
  • Birst provides the flexibility to provide multiple views so clients can easily consume the insights how they prefer to view them.
  • Birst has allowed us to "productize" portions of our business intelligence offerings.

Cons

  • We really haven't run into any large areas for improvement. The roadblocks we have encountered have been resolved with the help of Birst.
We have realized over the years that our core competency is not in the area of building, updating and maintaining a BI suite. While the insights we provided with our homegrown solution worked for our clients, we have come to the realization that our customers were expecting more. Rather than investing in upgrading our internal solution to match the capabilities a BI solution provides, we made the decision to leverage Birst.
Birst has done well in a fixed data model, prescribed insights scenario. We have received positive feedback from business users on the ease of navigating and accessing their insights.

We haven't done this yet, but it appears custom or ad hoc reporting might be a little work for advanced users.
