Overall Satisfaction with Dundas BI

We are using Dundas BI across our entire organization. It is owned and managed by our central Business Operations team but leveraged by groups such as Development, Product Management, Marketing, Sales, Customer Experience, Finance, and HR. Dundas allows us to aggregate datasets from across all of these teams so we can build real-time and ad-hoc dashboards that visualize our entire customer journey - regardless of where the data originates from. This gives us visibility into insights such as how a prospect's engagement with marketing content may influence later sales conversion or how engagement inside our application may influence a customer's risk of churning.
  • Data transformation and warehousing. These are key to ensure data is available from all sources across our organization in a usable format so we can quickly get to the business insights we need.
  • Flexible visualization. Dundas offers a deeper visualization engine than any other tool we reviewed. This allows us to present any type of data + non-data driven content in real-time dashboards.
  • Flexible Pricing Model. Dundas has many different pricing options so we were able to choose one that made the most sense for us and fit into our budget.
  • Complex interface for building dashboards. The cost of flexible visualization is a lot of steps to build a dashboard. There's a steep learning curve for new users but once the creation process is learned, it becomes very smooth.
Dundas and Sisense are very similar. Both are very powerful and flexible with an eye toward further innovation. I expect both will do well as we enter a major transition period for BI.

Periscope Data and Dundas differ substantially and seem to have different paths forward. Periscope is very focused on fast performance and requires SQL to build reports. Dundas is focused on flexibility and strong visualization.

Looker is another tool that is similar to Dundas. Looker comes in at a higher price point and seems focused on embedded dashboards and in-app analytics (although both platforms provide this).
Dundas BI is a great platform for those that are invested in a long-term BI solution. It's very powerful and flexible at a reasonable price. It's also a great fit for organizations with multiple data sources. Anyone looking for a small tool for quick analysis will see limited benefit from a platform like Dundas.
