Automates report generation. I would like to see improvements in the UI and the widgets.

What is most valuable?

Dynamic Dashboards & KPI was the most valuable because these provide great insights about the business and sales with a very simple mechanism.

How has it helped my organization?

It has helped us to automate the report generation. Dynamic Dashboards & KPI provides data for stakeholders in real time.

What needs improvement?

Because it is an open source BI tool, there are many areas of improvement:

  • The UI is not very profound.
  • The Widgets are not ample enough to showcase data in different formats
  • The support is very meager: We had to break our heads to figure out everything

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for nine months

What other advice do I have?

If you are exploring open source tools and you don't want to invest in any BI tool, then this is a good option.
