My advice to anyone considering Pyramid Analytics would be that if you are a smaller organization with budget constraints but still need robust reporting metrics, Pyramid's mode could be the perfect fit. It offers all the necessary features and solid technical support at a more affordable cost. On the other hand, if you are a larger organization with a bigger budget, you might want to explore Power BI. While both platforms are similar, Power BI, being integrated with Microsoft, has the added advantage of seamless connectivity to Microsoft systems. They serve the same purpose, but Power BI is hosted by Microsoft. Overall, I would rate Pyramid Analytics as an eight out of ten.

It is a versatile and easy-to-maintain tool with connectivity to various databases. If the environment is highly secure and restrictive, configuring connections to systems like SAP or SharePoint may require overcoming network security restrictions and opening ports. There is no clear guidance on how to resolve these issues yet, so admin support is necessary for troubleshooting and analyzing logs or errors. I would rate it eight out of ten.
Overall, I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. The reason for this score is their online analytics and modeling, which enables users to model new things. I also appreciate the simplicity of the new dashboards.

From my experience so far, I would not recommend Pyramid Analytics. However, we've only been using it for a month and it's quite a large platform. From my professional point of view, as somebody who is experienced with Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM — I trust those solutions. I know what they can do. This is the first time Pyramid's been thrown at me and it looks a little bit inhomogeneous. When we do a lot of cloud business, when I drift around the cloud platforms, I see Tableau, I see all the big players, but I don't see Pyramid pop up very often. This is the first time I've seen it. This is because it looks a bit dated. Even the designers look a bit dated to me. I am always wary of things that are going to become dated because that's one of the most expensive problems to run into. This thing becomes invalidated by temporal evolution. That's a big problem. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Pyramid Analytics a rating of six. If they want to play with the big boys, they're going to have to put some shoulder to the wheel.

This solution is convenient and works well with simple data sets. I would give it a score of seven out of ten.
