Pros

“Data Studio was easy enough to learn without comprehensive analytics training. Since our company is a Google Analtics shop, it's an easy tool to get top-level analytics for web pages. While you can also bring in other data sources using paid APIs, we only used the free version.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“I love that it requires no additional software, and can connect easily to our MySQL tables.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

“I like that you can easily create customised, interactive and professional looking reports for clients at no cost!”

Erin H.

Google Ads Specialist

Pros

“leveraging the logi AI has been a game changer like the SQL AI generation shows strong commitment to modernizing user experiences and making the learning curve exciting and much easier especially when you are starting as a new Business intelligence analyst.”

Ismail U.

Student

“Using JavaScript and CSS, you can step up functionalities and make them custom to your objectives—a good amount of built-in graphs and charts that would handle diverse reports and data formats.”

Felipe B.

Senior BI Enginer

“Dundas BI is my go-to data viz tool for making a highly customized dashboard!”

Felipe B.

Senior BI Enginer

Cons

“For example, sometimes I struggled to edit the title card and had to refresh the page to get it to load.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

“I found Data studio to be buggy at times, and dashboards that haven't been touched in months would break.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“We had a few issues with the reports not loading properly when downloaded as a PDF (Blank pages when there should have been data) and the only solution that we have found is repeatedly downloading and/or waiting a few hours to try again.”

Bryan P.

Director of Operations

Cons

“The Developer Seat limitation is also an immense dislike on Dundas BI, as you can only develop and fully edit with limited user seats, creating an unnecessary paywall for customers.”

Felipe B.

Senior BI Enginer

“There are a few "unhappy Easter eggs", such as that if a formula returns a null in the first row of a table then all of the rows won't show data, even though the formula is valid for them.”

Thomas G.

Data Analyst

“In-memory data filtering when the semantic layer is driven by stored procedures can lead to some performance degradation, especially with large data sets.”
