Overall Satisfaction with Birst
We use it embedded in our product. I find it very hard to use for our purposes. It's great for a user who doesn't have a computer programming background to set up custom reports and dashboards, but for someone who does it's missing a lot of basic functionality.
- Ease of use for non-technically inclined users
- Nice UI
- No ability to do a basic left join. I've never used a BI tool that can't support such basic functionality.
- Column sorting is broken all over the place. Trying to sort by a datetime, for example, does not work the way it should and shows things out of order.
- I find it slow and clunky to use.
- Many options can be unclear in the UI as to what they do.
So much easier to be able to pull data using a query at times, which should be supported alongside drag and drop options. I can actually left join two tables when needed to provide data frequently requested by customers.
