"Easy to use and visualise data for all our internal stakeholders"

24 February 2025
4.0 Show more details
Overall been good, quite an easy learning curve when you know how and community provides good support even if customer service doesn't.
Pros:
Easy to use, customise and create dashboards. One of the best pieces of software I've used to visualise data. A one stop shop for our internal stakeholders to monitor items important to them. Handles big amounts of data well.
Cons:
If you're trying to get a lot of data onto a crosstab can become clunky to set up. The Customer Support also isn't great.
