Birst, a data visualization tool
Overall Satisfaction with Birst
We use Birst a number of different ways. The first is to help our customer visualize their data. A majority of customers do not have the expertise to build these reports and visualizations so have done this for them. Our customers can use these reports to better understand their products, how they behave and function. We also use Birst internally to monitor how many devices have been deployed on our networks. We can monitor device transactions, API calls and much more. Within our organization, many departments use the Birst. From Sales, Customer Success, Product, marketing, and engineering.
- Customization of reports
- Embedded in existing dashboard
- Scalability of reports and amount of data it can process
- Variety of visualizations/graphs to view data
- Variety of filters to drill down to a specific set of data
- Birst prices are fairly expensive. License plus cost of users can add up pretty quickly
- Depending on the size of data, rendering of reports can take a little bit. Need faster processing of data
- Takes a little time to understand how to build reports, not the most intuitive UI
There are a few items I evaluate when looking at different tools.
- Price per user
- License price
- scalability
- Customization
- Embedded
