    Chose Logi Symphony
    The feature set is richer, and price is reasonable. We felt we were paying more for Tableau's name than their features, as updates are slow.

    Dundas ticks all the relevant boxes:
    - set up actually easy and works (was not the case for Pentaho)
    - you do not need one license per email address you want to send reports to (as for Tableau)

    We have tested Tableau prior to Dundas BI and though Tableau is a great package in itself, Dundas BI is much more cost-effective for our needs and requirements and hence zeroed in on Dundas BI.

    We have also tried microstrategy but it has a very dated UI and doesn't suit our …

    I have used dozens of BI tools, a ew for many years like IBM Cognos and other for several months POCs like microstrategy, Panorama, Tableau etc...

    For our industry and our daily use Dundas BI wins since it is very flexible and can bring us the greater value we can achieve from a …

    We evaluated Tableau as an alternative to Dundas BI during our product selection process. Tableau, arguably a market leader in this space, fell short in a number of key areas. We were not impressed with the extensibility and scalability of the Tableau product. In contrast, …

    Across the board Dundas BI was superior to its competitors. It's way way easier to use and develop relative to MicroStrategy and Microsoft, and their team was much easier (and better) to work with than Tableau.

    These other products tend to do quite a poor job of allowing you to embed them into other products. Either the architecture is not suited to embedding or they make it too expensive to do this. Dundas is designed and priced to do this (embedding) well. We found Dundas …

    I selected Dundas BI to be our preferred partner since we saw that it the most flexible tool that allows our customers to design their dashboards in they way that they are not restricted in their development process.

    We found that Dundas BI struck the perfect balance between ease of use and flexibility, while still remaining within a reasonable budget. Other products were either to technical, lacked functionality, or "broke the bank".

    Chose Logi Symphony
    It is much more powerful to build more interactive and feature rich dashboards. Most of the above are great at ad hoc analysis but not for providing a full feature and rich guided dashboard experience. Dundas BI is great to build a suite of dashboards and easy to deploy …

    Since the release of Dundas BI, Dundas has raised the bar of what you can get for your money. If you are even considering any of the other players, you would be doing your company a disservice by not putting Dundas head to head against any product out there. It is a lot more …

    Dundas BI provided all of the connectivity, flexibility, and visualizations we needed - all at the right price. We compared total cost of ownership over 5-years, and Dundas was the clear winner. In our experience, they also had the strongest sales support staff. After using …

    Dundas BI was selected for its ease of use and web service integration tools to other internal and external tools. When compared the API call from Dundas took just a few lines of code versus hundreds of lines of code. Dundas BI provides the backbone and structure needed for a …

    Tableau wins when it comes to the features and flexibility it brings to the table. microstrategy seems out-dated in comparison to Tableau and Dundas BI
