Our main reason for choosing cumul.io was the API-first design philosophy. Unlike other BI platforms that demand direct access to your databases or warehouses, cumul.io lets us create a plugin that acts as a translator between our data and cumul.io's query engine. We've then managed to pipe everything through our public facing APIs - the very same ones we expose to customers already, with little to no changes. This means as we extend our APIs to cover more of our data sources, our web-applications can make use of them, and cumul.io dashboards can immediately be built over that same data source. And if we change databases, or have different DBs for different purposes - even for the same notional type of data - it makes no difference to our BI whatsoever.

It's hard to over-state how important this form of abstraction layer is to a small company that will evolve over time. We're not locked into a particular database schema because our BI was configured to understand it; we're free to make technical choices behind the API-curtain. That's powerful, and cumul.io was one of only a small handful of BI providers that understand that need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is young, and it sometimes shows. We've found a few bugs here and there, and the documentation hasn't always been up-to-date. On the other hand, the cumul.io team has been amazingly responsive - in some cases fixing these bugs the same day we found them! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to create a new dashboard. It's also easy to extract data from different data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't enough types of charts. I need charts with 2 different scales in order to compare different curves. There is no support for real time series with spread values. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is fairly easy to understand how the platform works and to create your own personalized dashboards. If you do have questions about anything however, the support is super! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That formula's must be applied to datasets, whereas a formula more highover on a certain graph or chart would be easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic link and updated graphs with the raw data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first time opening the dashboard, it takes a while to understand the functioning of it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love love the ease and speed to setup dashboards. It takes only a few minutes to create business insights. The look & feel of the dashboards is also a big pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some complex data transformations are not possible (which makes tha app easy to use). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very professional functions to create dashboard in a short time. Possibility to set up a datasheet and let the platform read the data out. Mobile performance is also good - responsive design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only a limited view and not good options in data uploading, will be supported just a exc file and blank text files. Less and limited view on tablets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All the features they have are handy in some way! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's hard to create the right dataset sometimes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cumul.io is a very well thought out product and is easy to use. Unlike some of its competitors in the space, you do not need to be a data expert to create meaningful and aesthetically pleasing dashboards. I have gotten to know the people working at Cumul.io and they are great people who provide exceptional support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am digging deep but I can't think of anything right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is so easy to build your own dashboards Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some data visualisation options that would make this platform even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphic dosplay of the dashboards is very nice. Also the fact that these are interactive. The support is really great. In 1 day i get full support on sometimes the simpelest things. You get personal support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The differrence between the data table and pivot table is unhandy. It would be great if this would be 1 table where you can choose the table type but still have the features of both tables.

Sometimes the connection between databases and Cumul.io is lost. Mostly due an update of the databaseholder (Teamleader) Cumul.io isn't updated. We rely on the platform to check important data. When this is not updated we use wrong information in invoicing, timetracking etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
