"Real Time Data"

4/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Good Consolidated Platform for Easy Visualizations "

4/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Makes data simplier"

3.5/5

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Works well for very simple reporting"

3.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:

If it is in your price range then go for it, but there are better tools out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
