"Great tool for startups"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Knowi?

Knowi is an incredibly flexible web-based tool.

You can join data from multiple sources (a previously developed Knowi dataset being one of them), add transformations _a piacere_, and then have the resulting dataset available as a "live" connection to data (with or without cache), refreshing at specified intervals, or "triggered".

The many visualization options are quite customizable, and very importantly there's the option of developing your own via HTML/JS.

I haven't dived into embedding, but I saw there are lots of options there, too, and regardless of embedding dashboards can have a public shareable link.

You can also set up alerts or scheduled PDF reports via email/Slack/Teams/webhooks.

And on top of everything, the tool is constantly evolving, adding features and fixes every week.

Knowi has everything! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowi?

For a small startup, the tool might be considered pricey.

Also it's not unusual to find some bugs here or there, and UX/UI is improvable. However, they are super open to feedback and solve everything quite quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Knowi helped me complete BI tasks Faster."

5/5

What do you like best about Knowi?

With Knowi, I took a short period to get from raw data to insights as I didn't have to take my data through the ETL steps. I was also able to establish connections to NoSQL databases and work with unstructured data, a feature I didn't find in other BI tools. I also liked Knowi's search-based analytics feature, through which I was able to ask questions in plain English and get answers even in the form of visualizations. Knowi also allowed me to configure alerts for anomaly detection and monitoring metrics. I found it easy to embed my Knowi dashboards onto our conmpany website and even control the type of data that users can access using a secure URL. Knowi's knowledge base has many articles through which I was able to get support from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowi?

Nothing. I can't complain about Knowi. It helped me achieve what I wanted to achieve from my data. I was incredibly amazed by Knowi's ability to connect to NoSQL databases and pull unstructured data from there. This had been a great challenge to me before I met Knowi. Knowi also became cheaper as I added more members to the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Knowi:

I will greatly recommend Knowi to any individual or company looking for a BI tool that can connect to nearly all data sources and work on all types of data, whether structured or unstructured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Knowi solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Knowi to solve all data-related problems in our company. For example, merging data from different data sources, data visualization, anomaly detection, monitoring KPIs, etc. It was easy for me and my team to accomplish these tasks since Knowi has a very simple user interface. Knowi made it possible for us to customize our dashboards and visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Knowi?

Know offers a web-based BI tool that requires no coding and is easy to use. I enjoy the ease of importing and manipulating data with their ReSTful APIs, combining datasets with implicit joins, embedding and sharing URLs in HTML single line of HTML code, and the toolbox of offerings for core metrics that clients may immediately request. I have been building BI dashboards for years and I like that this tool offers the ability for analysts at all technical levels to be able to make sense of their data. Data literacy and access to your data source is necessary, but this product has far fewer barriers of entry than other web-based BI tools like Looker or Qlikview. Their NLP algorithm is competitive with other BI tools as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowi?

Nothing to dislike, Knowi is a good tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Knowi:

Excellent for fast analytics for non-technical people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Knowi solving and how is that benefiting you?

I had a NoSQL database in MongoDB that was a legacy database from a client's acquisition of a company that went out of business. The database was poorly maintained and not normalized - I was able to leverage Knowi to be able to make sense of data deficiencies, some geographical tags, and find relationships between the legacy database and the current database, adding a level of historical data to the company's metrics.

"I don't know how to live without Knowi!"

5/5

What do you like best about Knowi?

Without any coding, we were able to create product and usage reports on top of our MongoDB.

Didn't need even 10 min of a developer hour.

The step-by-step data analyzing feature saves so many hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowi?

Price is too expensive for a startup.

If it was possible to have a startup price with limited features + monthly subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Much more than just a reporting and visualization tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Knowi?

Knowi makes it very easy for non-technical users to create and analyze reports but more importantly a semi-technical user can pull data together from any number of disparate sources. For example, we pull data from a MySQL database, joined to data in a MongoDB and from REST APIs like Facebook, Apple and Google.

You don't have to know MongoDB or how to manipulate JSON responses from APIs, with some simple SQL-like commands it's easy to manipulate the data that is returned and visualize it in any number of ways. I think this feature is beyond anything I've seen in other analytics packages.

Knowi offers a number of different visualizations once you have the data and it can be used for real-time dashboard displays, canned report deliveries via email or real-time queries and analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Knowi?

There really isn't anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Knowi:

Knowi not only have an excellent product but their support is outstanding. In the unlikely event that the product doesn't meet your requirements they turn around customer requested features extremely quickly.

The power of being able to pull data in from multiple sources concurrently and join it all together should not be underestimated. It is extremely powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Knowi solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it for business reporting on a wide-variety of metrics, operational monitoring for a number of systemic and human processes and displaying system and service metrics in real-time.

We have moved away from having to share spreadsheets and manually collate information or wade through reams of system alerts and logging data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our Analytics Solution"

5/5

We have different sources and data structures we work with. Using knowi, gave us the possibility to join those multiple sources (NoSQL and SQL) and build a reporting platform that has a layer of AI on top of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike to date. Knowi's level of service is excellent and they are available to any challenge/question. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
