Overall Satisfaction with Birst
Birst is used as an analytics platform for our clients in addition to our existing ERP. Our clients had a need for an analytics solution and Birst was the most suitable platform that met our requirements. On top of data from the ERP, we are networking with data from other sources and bring them together in a single, unified product. Our client's experience involves interactive dashboards and emailed reports. These dashboards are being used across our client's organizations.
- End-to-end solution, from raw source data, ETL, warehousing and reporting, Birst is able to do everything we need in one package instead of needing to develop and maintain multiple technologies
- Intuitive report development. The drag and drop creation of reports is simple. More complicated queries are easy to generate.
- Very user-friendly and interactive. A lot of nice features are available both for developers and end users to streamline the process of preparing and consuming data
- Rich API which allows us to programmatically interact with Birst
- Unable to develop snowflake schemas
- Occasional slowness of the dashboards due to load on the cloud server
- Report distribution sometimes fails, with not all recipients receiving reports on time
- Spaces will occasionally get stuck in a processing or copying state, which means we have to wait for Birst Support to release it before we can proceed with publishing new data
