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.

Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively
RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The on-premise version has quite good scalability."
"Pyramid Analytics has allowed us to be more insightful in our reporting, positively impacting our organization."
"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."
"This solution is convenient and works well with simple data sets."
"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."
"Pyramid Analytics is the core for reporting from a non-technical or slightly technical perspective, and it makes reporting simple."
"The best features Pyramid Analytics offers that stand out to me include the Present feature, the dynamic reporting capability, Time Intelligence, and data modeling, all of which are excellent."
"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
 

Cons

"Some challenges include issues with incorrect information being input, as errors could persist in Pyramid Analytics and affect data purity."
"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."
"From my experience so far, I would not recommend Pyramid Analytics."
"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 liked that I could write my own query inside Pyramid Analytics and extract the data the way I wanted it, but I did not like that it was too complex to display just a simple report, with so many menus and sub-menus, and the calculations were a bit complex."
"Regarding how Pyramid Analytics can be improved, I honestly think we had some issues in connecting Pyramid Analytics with SAP; it is not so easy as we have been told, and this is something that could be a really good feature to improve to enable users to be more self-sufficient to manage this kind of activity."
"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."
"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is not excessively expensive, but it does increase with the addition of new features and modules."
