Key questions

We understand that when it comes to your analytics investments, you have a lot of choices. In a crowded BI field, it’s often hard to spot the differences between vendors. Beneath the marketing gloss, there are clear differences between Pyramid 2018 and the rest of the field. So what sets Pyramid 2018 apart from other providers?

Run Anywhere

Why is it important to run my BI in a web client and not on the desktop?

Many BI products require you to install and run on a desktop client. This effectively limits performance, makes it difficult to administer and provision users, and opens your organization to potential security breaches. In contrast, Pyramid 2018 is designed to run on any HTML5-compliant browser. It’s faster, scalable, flexible, and more secure than any other competing BI solution.

End-User ETL

Pyramid 2018 offers an end-user ETL? Why does this matter?

Pyramid 2018 isn’t the first BI tool to provide an ETL tool. But it is one of the first analytics tools to include an ETL tool that is embedded directly within the product—and it’s the first ETL tool truly designed for everyone. With the end-user ETL tool included as a core module, users don't need a separate tool to fix, condition, and improve incoming data. This gives users the ability to use a graphically based tool to blend structured and unstructured data in numerous ways, and then schedule data preparation operations so difficult data prep efforts don’t have to repeated over and over—all in the same place! In addition, the ETL features ML algorithms—including access to an ML marketplace—which users can use (and reuse) to build advanced data models.

Report Bursting

Why should I care about Pyramid 2018’s narrative reporting capabilities?

Pyramid Analytics is the only analytics tool that treats narrative reporting—reporting that provides deep data-driven context beyond the static data views and visualizations found in traditional reporting—as a core part of the analytic lifecycle. With Pyramid 2018's Publish module, users can craft and automate engaging, dynamic narrative reports using the very same platform they use to prepare data models and conduct advanced analytics inquiries. When reporting ties directly to data, includes dynamic content that provides deep context, and conforms to established security protocols, reporting delivers more than just pretty pictures or historical facts—it delivers contextualized insights that shows the way to better decisions.

Shared Business Logic

Does repository-based shared business logic provide tangible enterprise value?

Pyramid 2018 is truly built with content re-use in mind. Every aspect of the product—including data models, visualizations, presentations, publications, illustrations, machine learning algorithms, logical expressions, and more—is considered a first-class data citizen. Each piece is extensible, meaning it can be shared, re-used, and improved-upon. These building blocks are available in a shared content management system (CMS) so anyone can find the content they need depending on their role and goals. This allows you to manage your implementation in an analytics-as-a-service manner, which saves you time, reduces errors, and reinforces a collaborative, data-focused mindset within your organization.

Deploy Anywhere

What types of deployment scenarios are suitable for Pyramid 2018?

Don’t make sacrifices for your BI vendor. Choose one that is flexible for you and your environment. With Pyramid 2018, you don’t have to compromise. You don't have to rip and replace your analytics deployment. Our OS-agnostic Java platform can be readily integrated into any environment, allowing you to build and implement an enterprise architecture that meets your business model and your data strategy. You choose what works best for you: on premise or private cloud.

Advanced Analytics

Does easy-to-use advanced analytics make my organization more productive?

Advanced analytics can transform how organizations operate. They can help employees make decisions with data and insight previously untapped. But even those organizations seeking to be data driven have few employees making use of such sophisticated techniques. This often leaves complex analysis either completely neglected or inadequately performed. Pyramid 2018 enables users with rich visual interfaces to create even the most complex analyses.
