Overall Satisfaction with Dundas BI

We use Dundas BI for two main purposes. The first one is internal, to provide dashboards and reports for our sales and marketing teams. The second use case is to generate data export (summaries, nicely formatted) for our clients. The last use case is to quickly display some ad-hoc analysis to answer internal requests.
  • Getting ready really quick - installation and set up is the easiest I have seen.
  • Amazing pre-sales support, with very friendly and efficient people.
  • Full web interface - completely cross-platform once Dundas BI is installed.
  • With great power comes great responsibility - you can do a lot and then some to style your dashboards, but it can become time-consuming to style it right.
  • The support team is North America based. They are efficient, but if you are a few time zones away, even a small discussion can span multiple days.
Dundas ticks all the relevant boxes:
- set up actually easy and works (was not the case for Pentaho)
- you do not need one license per email address you want to send reports to (as for Tableau)
- easy to use (vs. Jaspersoft)
- cross-platform (not so for Tableau)
- Dundas can pull data, you do not have to only push (as is the case for Zoho)
Dundas BI is really quick to get started. The license structure is very easy to follow and actually quite cheap. If you need a way to allow exports and login for users, this is built in. I am not a massive user, but for a small/medium company at least, I have not found a scenario where Dundas BI would not [be a good] fit.
