"Perfect Mix of Flexibility, Support, and Value."
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

Bold BI gives you a lot of value for the price. It connects to all kinds of data sources like SQL, Excel, REST APIs, Salesforce, and more. The dashboards update in real time, which is super helpful for staying on top of changes. I really like how easy it is to embed dashboards into other apps with white labeling, which makes it a strong option for SaaS companies.

The drag-and-drop dashboard builder is very user-friendly, and you don’t need to be a developer to make something impressive. At the same time, developers can still go deeper with custom queries or widgets. Security is well covered with role-based access and row-level controls, and the multi-tenant setup works well. The product is well documented, easy to train people on, and the support team has been excellent. It’s powerful without being too complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

There are a few areas that could use some polish. The mapping features are a little limited, and stronger map visuals would make reporting even better. Once you create a data source, it can feel clunky to add new fields, so you need to plan ahead. We’ve also run into more bugs when using Docker and Kubernetes compared to Windows, so it would be nice if testing was more balanced across environments. Lastly, it would be great if paginated reports were built into Bold BI instead of needing a separate product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Evaluating Bold BI for our SaaS offering"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

Bold Bi has many great features compared to more expensive competitors

Flexible Embed features for SaaS

Great pivoting capabilities.

Easy to create custom visuals.

Has the ability to create Hierarchies.

Great customer support Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

It is missing finishing touches like ways to categorize attributes and measures into logical groupings for users to consume.

The table widgets, one of the most used widgets need more development, there are workarounds.

A more robust and reusable semantic layer across all dashboards that allows the creation of "Perspectives" where each department would have a slightly different version of the semantic model than other departments.

Though it has its own versioning capabilities it is missing GIT versioning integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Peasey, fresh and um... Dashboards?!?"
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

I was looking for an solution for internal dashboarding, BoldBI was priced well, easy to understand, and well documented. I mean really well documented. Great deployment options, a JS SDK, and did i mention the documentation?

BoldBI was just right for what i needed, not too complicated, not too simple. I can train users on dashboards, or write my own custom controls. Best of both worlds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

customer support is mainly in IST. So if you have an issue, better hope that it can wait until tomorrow or you fix it yourself. That is helped again by the well done documentation, it's just that finding the kb article you need might not be that easy. im not complaining for the price.

"Flexible, Professional Dashboards—Setup Takes Time, But AI Features Offer Hope"
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

I really appreciate the flexibility and the highly professional dashboards that Bold BI enables us to design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

The main drawback of Bold BI is the amount of time it takes to set up dashboard templates at first. However, with the introduction of their new AI features—which I am looking forward to exploring—I believe this challenge will soon be a thing of the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enhances Customer Reporting with Economic Pricing and Stellar Support"
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

I appreciate Bold BI for making it easier to provide reporting for our customers, allowing both our analysts and customers to easily build and publish reports. The ability to build dashboards and modify queries for specific outcomes is very user-friendly. I value the mobile readiness of the app and its integration capabilities with API structures. The addition of AI features is impressive. The economic pricing model and the effective partnership, which includes consistent and helpful support, make it an invaluable tool for our OEM model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

I believe there are areas for improvement in Bold BI's feature set. Adding a few more features more quickly would be beneficial. Specifically, enhancing the mapping capabilities is important because visual representation through mapping is crucial for effectiveness. While the AI aspects they've incorporated are good, there's always room for advancement in this rapidly evolving space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Business Analysis"
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

One of the easiest pieces of reporting software I have used. Data visualisation is quick, easy and user frieldlt. Non "techy" people can easily repot on data in minutes. The support documentation is great, as well as the support ticketing system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

Can be a bit clunky to add data into a datasource once it is created but this just means you need to put some thought into what you are trying to acheive before you start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I use Boldbi in our commercial product and so far we have a good experiance"
5/5
What do you like best about Bold BI?

Its ability to connect to very large number of data sources.

The fact you need to know just SQL to master it.

The smart functionality like reports to email, slideshow, AI...

Widget development and agility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bold BI?

all new releases are mainly tested on the Windows version and we are finding a lot of bugs when it comes to docker and Kubernetes.

Bold reports should combine with BoldBi as paging reports are not possible in the product and it is stupid to buy another similar tool just for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
