Has a lot of integration and visualization options, but can't be easily used by business users, and working with the color palette is difficult
With Dundas BI, we do not have end-users apart from the developers. End-users do not find it easy to create their own reports. Most of the implementations I have seen require a developer team for creating the visuals, and they then give them to end-users. A self-serve part where end-users or business users can create their own reports would help in terms of the adoption of Dundas BI. Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do. Even when a developer starts working on Dundas BI, he needs to spend at least one month or so getting used to the functionalities of Dundas BI. Even then, it is not easy to remember where or how they made a certain property change. It takes at least one month for a developer to get acquainted with it. Working with the color palette is difficult in Dundas BI. They can work on different color palettes and make them organized and user-friendly. It would help a long way. Most of the time, the users face challenges in assigning colors to the fields that they have created or to the dimensions and measures in a chart. Dundas can further reduce the number of settings they have. When you create any chart in Dundas, you get a lot of features to control each setting, which is pretty useful for BI, but for end-users, it is difficult to identify the exact settings to change a property. I would love it if some of the options come pre-selected. If some of the settings are set to best practices by default, it will be helpful. Whenever we have any issues, the error messages that we get in Dundas BI are not very helpful in identifying the root cause. Making these changes will bring a lot of change to the end-user experience.

​Setup is straightforward from a business user standpoint but MAQL needs to be easier.
Cloud connect Report generator MAQL needs to be easier Better row-level security for end-users I've used it for nine months, mainly for implementation and delivery to customers. No issues encountered. No issues encountered. When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Currently Dundas BI enables us to provide more rich and interactive data visualizations for end users and this has helped to show performance issues."
"The primary reasons why the client opted for Dundas BI were the cost, integration options, and creative visuals."
"With Dundas BI, you have a lot of visualization choices, and you can also do customizations by using HTML coding and JavaScript. The ease of development was one of the main factors for going for Dundas BI. The client had different reporting tools, but they wanted something that could accommodate all requirements."
"It is easy to design a new dashboard, and you can always see data while you setup the data controls."
"An excellent IDE, that makes building views, like reports and dashboards a breeze."
"The Layers feature organizes my work and makes it easier, instead of having to use scripting to show and hide when drilling down."
"As we are working as "digital transformakers," this product helped us to transform our clients' businesses to be data-driven, and added business value."
"End to end enterprise solution where there is only one portal to connect to data, ETL and visualize data in a flexible and interactive way with the ability for users to do their self service analysis."
"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
 

Cons

"For every object, references are generated, but sometimes, there was a problem with the references overlapping each other. Everything would go off. It would stop working, and then from the admin side, people had to do something to bring it up again."
"Currently, business users find it difficult to work with Dundas BI because there are so many settings that they don't know what they need to do."
"They still need to add some visualisations and could continue to improve the UI to allow users to easily find what they need within the many different options."
"My current preference would be to work with Tableau or Power BI because they're more user intuitive and both have a good user interface."
"Lacks sufficient online support."
"This product needs incremental in-memory data loading."
"For a developer, it is really annoying that the Solution Explorer is not visible unless you have something checked out."
"Documentation improvements or additions to help with the learning curve when starting with BI, but once you get in the groove it is fantastic and makes me highly productive and provides my customers with beautiful data visualizations without very much effort on my part."
"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm not aware of its cost. Its licensing was probably role-wise. Most of us had reader access, editor access, or developer access. For admin, there were certain restrictions. So, I'm assuming it had role-wise licensing."
"I am not majorly involved in its licensing. We are not the end license purchaser of the Dundas BI. It costs somewhere around $4,000 a year for the enterprise solution, but I am not sure."
