Although updates do tend to go swimmingly, occasionally there are some features which have new bugs or been depracated, such as specific guage visualisations in the last 2020 update. Rare language/communication breakdown with non-native English speaking support Limited product specific training once users get beyond the basic capabilities of the product Fine tuning what users have access to. At first glance the default professional user can experience some "paralysis by analysis" Some older tablet and mobile devices have had some issues with the applications. Extra expenditure had to be allocated to resolving these issues and allocating new devices to team members. **Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:** Make use of the trial and test the multitude of features, it is surprising what can be done with some extra intuition.

Real Time Data **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 22, 2018 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** Used at our university it has a slightly different name, and a slightly older scheme than the 2018 version, it is still a great system to pull real-time data from our servers and showcase it in "easy to read" graphs and charts. The drill down options are very useful, and there is a lot of information we can pull into our system to allow everyone across campus to be on the same page. **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** It is very annoying that it will only work through Internet Explorer, as that is not commonly used today. It also does not have the most simple user interface, and the lack of a "back button" or undo, can get tedious if you drill up or down incorrectly. **Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:** This is easy to use across a campus, where everyone from staff to faculty to administrators can see the same data, and know that it is up to date. It is easy to use with some simple training and can be set up that levels can be put in place to offer tiers of data protection. **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** This helps me to track the student enrolled in programs I am helping to coordinate and contact. The system gives me real-time access in the early weeks of the semester to see who has enrolled, paid, and attended a class. It is a quick way for me to access student data without having to put through a formal 3-week request for name and information that may be inaccurate when received. ### 15. Good Consolidated Platform for Easy Visualizations **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2018 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** I enjoy using Pyramid in the cloud and having the ability to easily attach my Excel files to common databases. It is super convenient to be able to use the included In-Memory database to do visualizations within my own work-space quickly. Being able to use Measures, manage colors and apply Filters easily is similar if you've ever used Tableau which is a good thing from the usability. In addition, you can expect to be able to change visual types between the usual suspects such as bar charts, scatter, volume and pie charts. From a performance perspective, Pyramid has been able to handle data sets I have imported up to 100k records at a time. The ability to take this data and apply it to a Presentation within the Pyramid Analytics browser is a nice touch for being able to stay organized between different client deliverables. **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** Some of the ways to manage fields could be more intuitive within work space; what I mean, is, I would love to be able to more easily group related data elements. Moreover, I would like to see an easier way to manage presentation creation with an auto-snap feature rather than just click & drag free form. In addition, it would be cool if metadata from connected data sources had the option to change in real-time with the addition of new data elements. Overall this is not a problem, but, it would be neat if there was a way to build a live dashboard. **Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:** Try the In-Memory option for creating reports, visuals and presentations. Make sure to consider multiple different views and data aggregations as the drag & drop interface is very forgiving and relatively easy to figure out. My first pivots were trial and error but they have become second nature. **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am able to create descriptive visualizations out of silo'ed and desperate Excel spreadsheets. In addition, it is easy to share different visuals and presentations with my colleagues who are also part of the Pyramid Analytics team. The combination of description and communication is a huge help between different teams from Product Management (who are concerned with usage), Customer Reporting and internal services teams. ### 16. Makes data simplier **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2019 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** I really liked the fact that it made data queries easier by removing the SQL code. I was able to create outputs without worrying about the code. A huge help for those who are not SQL experts **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** A downside is not being able to control the code. It's nice to not have to work with a UI to change what is being pulled, it allows for more customization but again this can be a drawback if you have a queries error out **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** Data gathering/ financial reporting were all helped with pyramid, it loowed me to work more efficently ### 17. Works well for very simple reporting **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** It does play nice over a server, so our audience can use it across chrome and other internet explorers. It shows tables nicely and the audience can filter down to the bone! It does have a user-friendly interface. I like that it is is visually pleasing. **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** It does not play well when you want to do advance reporting with multiple sources and multiple dimensions, or charts. It does not export nicely. **Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:** If it is in your price range then go for it, but there are better tools out there. **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it because it works nicely over a server so a large audience can access it easily. Out IT department can easily control who can see it and when they can see it. We feel that it is secure and we don't have a threat of invasion. - [View Pyramid pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/pyramid-analytics-pyramid/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-16+23%3A34%3A37+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=9868460d-8bc3-40c2-8611-3ab553d33dc8&secure%5Btoken%5D=fbf825c5f9354e21de15bf5547a34bdbf8e0d963e0b42688db9ed7861a6524d5&format=llm_user) ## Pyramid Features **Reports** - Reports Interface - Steps to Answer - Graphs and Charts - Score Cards - Dashboards **System** - Data Ingestion & Wrangling **Data Preparation** - Connectors - Data Governance **Model Development** - Language Support - Drag and Drop - Pre-Built Algorithms - Model Training **Model Development** - Feature Engineering **Data Modeling and Blending** - Data Querying - Data Filtering - Data Blending **Machine/Deep Learning Services** - Natural Language Processing - Natural Language Generation - Artificial Neural Networks **Machine/Deep Learning Services** - Natural Language Understanding - Deep Learning **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Deployment** - Managed Service - Application - Scalability **Agentic AI - Analytics Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Self Service ** - Calculated Fields - Data Column Filtering - Data Discovery - Search - Collaboration / Workflow - Automodeling **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization - AI Text-to-Image **Deployment & Integration - Analytics Platforms** - No-code Dashboard Builder - Report Scheduling and Automation - Embedded Analytics and White-labeling - Data Source Connectivity **Advanced Analytics** - Predictive Analytics - Data Visualization - Big Data Services **Agentic AI - Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms** - Autonomous Task Execution - Multi-step Planning - Cross-system Integration - Adaptive Learning - Natural Language Interaction - Proactive Assistance - Decision Making **Performance & Scalability - Analytics Platforms** - Large data handling and Query Speed - Concurrent User Support **Advanced Analytics & Modeling - Analytics Platforms** - Data Modeling and Governance - Notebook and Script Integration - Built-in Predictive and Statistical Models **Agentic AI Capabilities - Analytics Platforms** - Auto-generated Insights and Narratives - Natural Language Queries - Proactive KPI Monitoring and Alerts - AI Agents for Analytical Follow-ups **Personalized Intelligence - Analytics Platforms** - Behavioral Learning for Contextual Query Refinement - Role-based Insight Personalization - Conversational and Prompt-based Analytics **Building Reports** - Data Transformation - Data Modeling - WYSIWYG Report Design - Integration APIs ## Top Pyramid Alternatives - [Microsoft Power BI](https://www.g2.com/products/microsoft-microsoft-power-bi/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (1,563 reviews) - [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (3,535 reviews) - [SAP Analytics Cloud](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-analytics-cloud/reviews) - 4.2/5.0 (741 reviews)
