Founder & CEO at Lanzar
Have saved significant operational costs and streamlined alert-driven analytics with customizable dashboards
I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators. We work with a Role-Based Access Control feature in the product. I assess this feature as good; they have permissions which are in more plain English, but there is a little bit of convenience missed out because if I have to create a super user apart from admin, I need to add all the permissions manually.

CEO & Principal Consultant at Pyramid Analytics & Consulting
Unified data workflows have improved reporting quality and now support better decisions
The best features Pyramid Analytics offers include a broad range of features, which I think is one of the advantages of it. It has a lot of connectors and a lot of different capabilities. I would say end-to-end capabilities is one of the nice features of it. Regarding the end-to-end capabilities and lots of connectors, I found the connectors most valuable. If you are trying to do Snowflake, SQL server, or any of the normal database platforms that you see in the cloud or on-premises, it has those connectors built in. You don't have to worry about writing custom drivers. That is a nice feature to have. Pyramid Analytics has impacted my organization positively in that I use it for my clients' organizations. For my organization, it is great because it gives me a technology platform that clients enjoy using and I am proficient with. For my clients, it is about delivering on their aspirations in terms of what they want to do with their data and where they want to head in their organization. This is definitely a tool that we can use in order to get there. After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting. I think that streamlining has a positive effect on the quality of the outputs. The quality of the outputs definitely leads to better decision making.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The benefits I have seen from using Apache Superset for the business team are that they have been able to look at the numbers easily, log into the portal, and look at different dashboards, which are at different granularities."
"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"I see savings from using Apache Superset in both time and money, particularly with the cost reduced by roughly 99% compared to Tableau where we previously paid almost 50k annually."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"Apache Superset is a lightweight reporting tool with a lot of functions and flexibility, where you can build the dataset, build charts, and dashboards from the user interface."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"Pyramid Analytics has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to analyze sales data and identify opportunities regarding how to use the budget and where to allocate it to get more sales."
"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."
"I honestly think Pyramid Analytics is one of the most fully featured BI products on the market today."
"We just replaced our old reports and chose Pyramid Analytics because the technology moved on, and we do just well in supporting our customers with a reporting tool based on Pyramid Analytics."
"Pyramid Analytics is the core for reporting from a non-technical or slightly technical perspective, and it makes reporting simple."
"Using Pyramid Analytics, I believe we can save a lot of time in reporting."
"Pyramid Analytics has improved my decision-making process, especially if I go for NLP, because I simply write the questions and it will automatically go with some of the data and create a visualization, which has saved time by automatically giving me a very fast answer."
"After implementing Pyramid Analytics for my clients, I have seen measurable outcomes and specific improvements, such as having a single platform that gets them from the raw data to the endpoint reporting."
 

Cons

"I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting capabilities."
"I had issues when trying to export and import dashboards; I could not do it on the first attempt."
"Areas of Apache Superset that could be improved include enhancing the data visualization features and addressing the overall data sourcing limitations, such as the 800 kilobyte limit per query that sometimes restricts our analysis, especially if we need to access data from many years back."
"One potential area for improvement in Apache Superset is that it must be installed in a dedicated Docker image, which could be a limitation since the goal is to embed Apache Superset in a product offering."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Pyramid Analytics can be improved because some part is not used by every company still."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
"Some things that are easily accomplished in Power BI are more complicated in Pyramid Analytics."
"From my experience so far, I would not recommend Pyramid Analytics."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"One area of improvement would be on the customer success or customer support; they are not very prompt."
"I think one thing is that Pyramid Analytics can sometimes have a slow loading speed, especially with large data pools, and the interface could be much more modern."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"The licensing cost is not excessively expensive, but it does increase with the addition of new features and modules."
