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 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."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"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."
"The main benefit I have seen from working with Apache Superset so far is the speed from discovery and SQL to making charts and dashboards, along with its customizability."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"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 Analytics is the core for reporting from a non-technical or slightly technical perspective, and it makes reporting simple."
"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."
"This solution is convenient and works well with simple data sets."
"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."
"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 has impacted the organization very positively, as we are able to make decisions much more quickly and we are able to spot risks and mitigate those risks in time."
"Pyramid Analytics positively impacts my organization by enabling me to communicate effectively with my direct supervisor, who sometimes does not fully understand the scope of my program, by allowing me to demonstrate data that showcases my contribution and proves that I provide good, cost-effective care while maintaining the lowest rates of amputation, re-amputation, and revision rates in the nation, which is value that transcends mere appointment counts."
 

Cons

"I had issues when trying to export and import dashboards; I could not do it on the first attempt."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"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."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting capabilities."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Pyramid Analytics could be improved to be more user-friendly. I thought the most difficult reporting tool was Tableau, but I found Pyramid Analytics to be somewhat more complex."
"When creating a data model in Pyramid Analytics, it's a bit complicated compared to other tools, especially to Microsoft BI."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
"Some challenges include issues with incorrect information being input, as errors could persist in Pyramid Analytics and affect data purity."
"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."
"One thing that could be added that could be useful is more rich data cataloging, which Pyramid Analytics doesn't really have at the moment."
"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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