My company used Atscale as our BI solution together with our cloudera and tableau software. We gained some modelling benefit from Atscale which standardized the development of downstream reporting developments. We also faced some integration challenge due to the complexity of cloudera and atsacle and tableau. While overall, we are impressed by the design of Atscale.

1. The data modelling is through the web based interface which is quite convenient for mutli user environment; 2. Advanced data caching mechanism which makes some pay-by-click services much cheaper; 3. Excellent performance gain through the caching mechanism; 4. Small but quite senior support team.

1. Strict dimensional modelling design maybe not quite fit for the free style data structure; 2. An extra modelling layer may not be always needed; 3. Deployment design changed recently.
