Pros and cons

With help of data visualization, users can easily identify the pattern and can able to analyze and take a good decision better than viewing a table structure format.
The availability of a community edition lets us implement a powerful BI solution for customers that don't have a substantial budget for this type of solution.
In our company, there are different levels of users each user having different types of reports so in knowage it is easy to implement reports with drill-down. Overall it was a good product.
Downside with this is that it doesn't support much charts that can be found in MS Excel. Also, the dashboard design scheme doesn't have a lot of options.
So as comes to Cons it was basically on the technical side of the product. For me, I m having an issue related to a memory leak.

Implementing BI for Customers

Reviewed 2 years ago

We were able to implement all the requirements that our customers needed. Once operational the system doesn't need much maitenance or support, except if you plan to add new BI elements. As they say "it just works"!

Pros

The availability of a community edition lets us implement a powerful BI solution for customers that don't have a substantial budget for this type of solution. There are many possibilites and we could meet all the requeirements.

Cons

The product is feature rich but some BI elements are difficult to configure, requiring scripting and/or configuring files in the server. Apparently this is being addressed in the new versions.

Vendor response

Thank you Miguel for your support over the years! As you already wrote, the last Knowage versions many new features have been introduced and many others are coming this year such as the already-built widget gallery, new functionalities for the data preparation and NLP.

Una alternativa que cumple

Reviewed 2 months ago

Gracias a Knowage podemos tener datos de calidad sobre los procesos generales de la empresa, desde usos de materia prima, repuestos, horas de empleados. Estamos ampliando el uso en todas las areas que podemos de nuestros clientes.

Pros

Creo que lo que mas me ha gustado es la facilidad de uso, no solo como desarrollador/administrador sino tambien para los usuarios finales, que sin conocimientos previos pueden sacar lo mejor de la herramienta.

Cons

Creo que faltan librerias de conexion, en mi caso utilizamos PHP con Symfony y ha veces se complica un poco poder hacer una buena interaccion.

Good Tool in First step for Data Analytics

Reviewed a year ago

Overall it was a good product. But I'm happy to use the enter price edition but as of our company policy, we cannot use any paid software (We are basically open-source software using company). So In knowage the much interested was on Dashboard report with different types of Tables, Chart and diagrams so everyone can easily learn it from scratch.I suggest BIRT reporting tool for generating tables then we can easily publish to knowage so I suggest to look in BIRT also.

Pros

For saying Knowage for me, it was the best tool (open source) for starting for Data analytics. For me, I was using it for more than 2+ years and it was easy to use for table structuring data and also for creating dashboard analytics. With help of data visualization, users can easily identify the pattern and can able to analyze and take a good decision better than viewing a table structure format. In our company, there are different levels of users each user having different types of reports so in knowage it is easy to implement reports with drill-down. Overall it was a good product

Cons

So as comes to Cons it was basically on the technical side of the product. For me, I m having an issue related to a memory leak. Basically, I think it was on the programming section. Also sometimes these are very slow to load the report but once loaded after that it was running smoothly

Vendor response

Dear Harikrishna, thanks for your review. As every open source product, KNOWAGE grows and evolves also through the feedback from the community of users. KNOWAGE Community Edition allows to create complete projects without significant limitations or the need to ask for the Enterprise Edition. We are pleased to know that you have been successfully using the Community Edition for over 2 years and we are sure that the evolution of the suite in this 2022 will provide even more support for your business.

Recensione Prodotti Knowage

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

I prodotti che soprattutto utilizzo sono Report Birt, Olap. Entrambi sono semplici da utilizzare e non ho trovato grosse difficoltà nel realizzare le query/estrazioni di cui avevo bisogno. L'Olap in particolare mi ha permesso di realizzare analisi dinamiche piuttosto complicate in poco tempo e l'interfaccia utente si è rivelata molto intuitiva. L'integrazione con i nostri processi aziendali si è quindi rivelata piuttosto semplice. Una cosa che mi è molto piaciuta è stata la "profilazione" Utenti, molto facile da realizzare e la conseguente comodità di abilitare o meno la visione di determinati dati agli Utenti in modo veloce e con pochi passaggi (nel prodotto precedente che utilizzavo era molto limitata)

Cons

L'unica nota negativa e che ho riscontrato nei Report Birt è l'impiego di troppa memoria del Client nella creazione della pagina html che riporta il risultato della mia query. Andando a occupare gran parte (se non la totalità) delle risorse del computer dell'utente questo risulta rallentato o addirittura inutilizzabile.

Grazie Manuel per la tua recensione! Ti suggeriamo di provare la schedulazione batch dei report in pdf per non caricare eccessivamente il client. Facci sapere se questo suggerimento ti e stato d'aiuto, oppure contattaci via email (knowage@eng.it)!

Dear Mahmoud, thanks for your review. Often, the performance issues are due to the data architecture.

Recensione knowage da osmosit srl

Reviewed 2 years ago

Il rapporto con staff e con il gruppo di knowage è fantastico e quindi l'esperienza complessiva è ottima. E soprattutto si vede una visione di prodotto chiara che invoglia ad investire e credere nel prodotto.

Pros

Il cockpit sta crescendo molto, la nuova versione del qbe

Cons

nei cockpit va resa più omogenea la gestione delle selection e dei driver analitici. Quando si usano entrambi crea confusione agli utenti finali (non tecnici). Spesso però siamo costretti ad usarli entrambi per ragioni di performance (più performanti i driver analitici e possibilità di rendere obbligatoria la selezione) o di cross navigation. Ie selection sono preferite dagli utenti perché sono dentro il cruscotto e si attivano con un semplice click, ma non c'è possibilità di rendere obbligatoria una selezione sui selettori e non è possibile separare la descrizione a video da valore usare poi nelle query.

Grazie Federico per la tua recensione e per l'apprezzamento verso il nostro team! Knowage 8 permettera di inserire i driver analitici direttamente nel cockpit come gia accade per i selettori.

Buon prodotto

Reviewed a year ago

La possibilità di creare un report una sola volta che può essere scaricato sempre aggiornato dagli utenti

Pros

La facilità nell'utilizzo e la possibilità di creare dataset che possono essere condivisi con più utenti in modo molto veloce e intuitivo. Creare in pochi passaggi dashboard di notevole impatto da condividere.

Cons

Dovrei sperimentare meglio l'integrazione con altri sistemi per poter dare un giudizio complessivo, forse potrebbe essere migliorata la parte dei modelli di business e rendere la piattaforma più personalizzabile anche per un utente non amministratore in modo da fornire solo la base delle query che possono poi essere modellate e manipolate da tutti in maniera più agevole ed intuitiva

Grazie per aver recensito KNOWAGE! Come raccontanto nel webinar di presentazione della roadmap per il 2022, disponibile qui (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQZEKREcRzQ), la serie 8 di KNOWAGE sta progressivamente incrementando l'usabilita dei cruscotti e sta fornendo strumenti di preparazione del dato che permettono agli utenti di tipo business di manipolare in autonomia i dati e muoversi in essi con modalita self-service sempre piu fluida.

Using Knowage as the Analytical/BI Suite for a Last-Mile Logistics Business

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The most striking features in Knowage, for my company, are Cockpits (dashboards) and OLAP. Once the company's Data Warehouse is modeled and implemented, it is very easy to connect Knowage with the data repository and start creating the analysis documents (Dashboards, OLAP, Reports, etc.)

Cons

A feature to be improved is the visualization on mobile devices. Although the WEB version of Knowage is responsive, certain views (such as Dashboards, for example, have difficulty in viewing and browsing on mobile devices - small screens)

Vendor response

Thank you Giovanni for your review! Knowage cockpits allow interactive experience on all devices, but the analysis must be conceived for mobile since its planning and first design. With Knowage 8.0 we started the porting from Angular.js to Vue.js and a process of redesign of several components (among them the cockpit) to allow more responsive and accessible features.

Knowage Review by accountant - USER

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

It can present an enormous range of data, in my case, financial data. Efficiently and effectively producing data with filters and subtotals. It can produce interactive dashboard which is a plus. The drill down function is great, too.

Cons

Being an accountant, I used charts a lot of times. Downside with this is that it doesn't support much charts that can be found in MS Excel. Also, the dashboard design scheme doesn't have a lot of options.

Vendor response

Thank you Shaira for your review. Since Knowage 7.2 edition, we introduced the Custom Chart widget in our dashboards: it allows to create charts using native libraries directly .With Knowage 8.0 coming this summer, a new gallery of already-built widgets will be available with additional types of charts, we hope this will better support your work!

Ottimo strumento per la BI Aziendale

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Il software si integra perfettamente con i database Vertica (SQL) e permette con estrema semplicità di mettere a disposizione degli utenti i dati nascosti nei database aziendali attraverso un'interfaccia intuitiva e facilmente configurabile. Gli strumenti di data visualization inoltre sono ricchi e in continua evoluzione. Una delle caratteristiche che caratterizza Knowage più positivamente è inoltre...

Cons

Il software è in continuo sviluppo, ma ha una storia relativamente giovane. Ciò significa che sono ancora presenti sporadici bug che però, va detto, non influiscono significativamente sul generale utilizzo del software. E' inoltre a disposizione un sistema di ticket per la segnalazione dei bug che si possono incontrare e che il team di sviluppo è pronto a cercare di risolvere real time, ove possibile, o con rilasci di versioni successive.
