A powerful engine under the hood - not a friendly user experience **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shay C. | Automation Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** Pyramid allows a simple graphic representation of data **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** Building the model from TSQL source was very hard, it worked slowly and caused the server to crash. **Recommendations to others considering Pyramid:** When dealing with complex data models, the market is very "thin". Everybody is dealing with easily constructed data - very few handle complex. Building the model in pyramid should be compared with the basic SSIS (Or Power BI), tableau, sisense and the rest. I found it frustrating, but honestly - nobody else did a better job. I did the best I could, but as I left SanDisk (WD bought them) - the project was discontinued. **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** I had raw testing data that needed to be analyzed and presented to different users (with different needs). Pyramid allowed to display the relevant data to relevant parties ### 2. Good but could be better **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Pyramid?** Easy download, aesthetically pleasing. Good for introductory courses in college. **What do you dislike about Pyramid?** It's hard to get support when you can't get something to work, had to watch numerous youtube videos to import. **What problems is Pyramid solving and how is that benefiting you?** I'm unfortunately using it for government projects so I cannot disclose. ## Pyramid Discussions - [How can I change the fields](https://www.g2.com/discussions/50271-how-can-i-change-the-fields) - 1 upvote - [Work-life balance varies depending on which contract you work on Weak yearly salary percentage adjustments. At times, the company does not value input from people speaking about a topic outside their formal job. For example, if a software developer gives really good input regarding a proposal, it often gets dismissed because the software developer isn't a proposal writer. Or if a business analyst gives really helpful input about technical design, it gets dismissed because they aren't engineers. The company is still growing and having challenges all the time in the highly competitive industry. However, which also means the employees have the chance to grow with the company. A leadership hire was made in the summer, which changed the culture for the worse. The company went from a family-oriented and flexible workplace to more recently a workplace that has resulted in employees constantly being in a placed defensive posture in response a mercurial and unpredictable client. Currently, a significant percentage of their consultants are supporting a difficult client which has resulted in the loss of talented and capable consultants. Pyramid is a small company that has failed to evolve and recognize that its employees should be treated as their most valued assets. I would not recommend working at Pyramid until there is a major change in the current leadership, don't be swayed by the fictitious best employer rewards and the previous reviews. which may paint a much more rosy picture. In a nutshell, I hope working at this company is not your only option.](https://www.g2.com/discussions/49961-work-life-balance-varies-depending-on-which-contract-you-work-on-weak-yearly-salary-percentage-adjustments-at-times-the-company-does-not-value-input-from-people-speaking-about-a-topic-outside-their-formal-job-for-example-if-a-software-developer-give) - 1 upvote - [View Pyramid pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/pyramid/reviews?filters%5Bnps_score%5D%5B%5D=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-08-13+08%3A51%3A54+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=6540f2f2-3e9e-4c5e-88f6-fb7637656a70&secure%5Btoken%5D=1c92a822d93b9f5e7dade85058e8547eeb0055d886c8d1cb3de95d83a416da6e&format=llm_user) ## Top Pyramid Alternatives - [Flask](https://www.g2.com/products/flask/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (49 reviews) - [Django](https://www.g2.com/products/django/reviews) - 4.5/5.0 (173 reviews) - [web2py](https://www.g2.com/products/web2py/reviews) - 4.1/5.0 (12 reviews)
