Verified reviewer Logistics and Supply Chain 11-50 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Reviewed June 2021 Using Knowage as the Analytical/BI Suite for a Last-Mile Logistics Business 4 Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Functionality Pros: The most striking features in Knowage, for my company, are Cockpits (dashboards) and OLAP. Once the company's Data Warehouse is modeled and implemented, it is very easy to connect Knowage with the data repository and start creating the analysis documents (Dashboards, OLAP, Reports, etc.) Cons: A feature to be improved is the visualization on mobile devices. Although the WEB version of Knowage is responsive, certain views (such as Dashboards, for example, have difficulty in viewing and browsing on mobile devices - small screens) Reasons for choosing Knowage Knowage is the only Business Analytics Suite entirely open-source and free to use. Power BI is not free to use and doesn't have all the features I needed (it doesn't have an OLAP tool). In Pentaho, the individual components are free, but the suite (the integration of the components) comes at a cost. Vendor Response Thank you Giovanni for your review! Knowage cockpits allow interactive experience on all devices, but the analysis must be conceived for mobile since its planning and first design. With Knowage 8.0 we started the porting from Angular.js to Vue.js and a process of redesign of several components (among them the cockpit) to allow more responsive and accessible features. Replied June 2021 Read More MK Miguel K. Verified reviewer Computer Software 2-10 employees Used weekly for more than 2 years Reviewed June 2021 Implementing BI for Customers 5 We were able to implement all the requirements that our customers needed. Once operational the system doesn't need much maitenance or support, except if you plan to add new BI elements. As they say "it just works"! Ratings Breakdown 3 Ease of use 5 Value for money 4 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The availability of a community edition lets us implement a powerful BI solution for customers that don't have a substantial budget for this type of solution. There are many possibilites and we could meet all the requeirements. Cons: The product is feature rich but some BI elements are difficult to configure, requiring scripting and/or configuring files in the server. Apparently this is being addressed in the new versions. Reasons for choosing Knowage For our business it was critical for the solution to be open source, to have a community alternative and to run on any operating system. Starting from that SpagoBI (Knoeage's previous name) was the only solution that was complete and had enterprise level security mechanisms. Reasons for switching to Knowage Pentaho was really hard to use when we started with our BI services in 2007. SpagoBI let us implement more features in a much easier way and it had a much better security concept. We started working with SpagoBI in 2008. Vendor Response Thank you Miguel for your support over the years! As you already wrote, the last Knowage versions many new features have been introduced and many others are coming this year such as the already-built widget gallery, new functionalities for the data preparation and NLP. Replied June 2021 Read More HS Harikrishna S. Verified reviewer Government Administration 51-200 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed February 2022 Good Tool in First step for Data Analytics 4 Overall it was a good product. But I'm happy to use the enter price edition but as of our company policy, we cannot use any paid software (We are basically open-source software using company). So In knowage the much interested was on Dashboard report with different types of Tables, Chart and diagrams so everyone can easily learn it from scratch.I suggest BIRT reporting tool for generating tables then we can easily publish to knowage so I suggest to look in BIRT also. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 3 Value for money 4 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: For saying Knowage for me, it was the best tool (open source) for starting for Data analytics. For me, I was using it for more than 2+ years and it was easy to use for table structuring data and also for creating dashboard analytics. With help of data visualization, users can easily identify the pattern and can able to analyze and take a good decision better than viewing a table structure format. In our company, there are different levels of users each user having different types of reports so in knowage it is easy to implement reports with drill-down. Overall it was a good product Cons: So as comes to Cons it was basically on the technical side of the product. For me, I m having an issue related to a memory leak. Basically, I think it was on the programming section. Also sometimes these are very slow to load the report but once loaded after that it was running smoothly Vendor Response Dear Harikrishna, thanks for your review. As every open source product, KNOWAGE grows and evolves also through the feedback from the community of users. KNOWAGE Community Edition allows to create complete projects without significant limitations or the need to ask for the Enterprise Edition. We are pleased to know that you have been successfully using the Community Edition for over 2 years and we are sure that the evolution of the suite in this 2022 will provide even more support for your business. Replied March 2022 Read More TP Tommaso P. Verified reviewer Health, Wellness and Fitness 1001-5000 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Reviewed July 2021 Ottimo strumento per la BI Aziendale 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Il software si integra perfettamente con i database Vertica (SQL) e permette con estrema semplicità di mettere a disposizione degli utenti i dati nascosti nei database aziendali attraverso un'interfaccia intuitiva e facilmente configurabile. Gli strumenti di data visualization inoltre sono ricchi e in continua evoluzione. Una delle caratteristiche che caratterizza Knowage più positivamente è inoltre il fatto di essere una web application: ciò significa che gli utenti e gli admin non hanno necessità di raggiungere l'interfaccia del prodotto tramite un'interfaccia proprietaria da installare su singolo pc, ma utilizzando i più comuni web browser (chrome, mozilla, etc.). Ciò significa inoltre che non è necessario acquistare una licenza per ogni utente, ma che tutti gli utenti autorizzati vi possono eccedere liberamente e con profili di visualizzazione personalizzati. Ciò, in aziende di grandi dimensioni come la nostra, costituisce un grande vantaggio, sia dal punto di vista economico che manageriale. Cons: Il software è in continuo sviluppo, ma ha una storia relativamente giovane. Ciò significa che sono ancora presenti sporadici bug che però, va detto, non influiscono significativamente sul generale utilizzo del software. E' inoltre a disposizione un sistema di ticket per la segnalazione dei bug che si possono incontrare e che il team di sviluppo è pronto a cercare di risolvere real time, ove possibile, o con rilasci di versioni successive. Vendor Response Grazie Tommaso per la tua dettagliata recensione. La nuova versione di Knowage, in arrivo questo mese, fornira ulteriori strumenti di data visualization che siamo sicuri troverai interessanti! Replied September 2021 Read More MZ Manuel Z. Verified reviewer Textiles 201-500 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Reviewed April 2022 Recensione Prodotti Knowage 4 Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: I prodotti che soprattutto utilizzo sono Report Birt, Olap. Entrambi sono semplici da utilizzare e non ho trovato grosse difficoltà nel realizzare le query/estrazioni di cui avevo bisogno. L'Olap in particolare mi ha permesso di realizzare analisi dinamiche piuttosto complicate in poco tempo e l'interfaccia utente si è rivelata molto intuitiva. L'integrazione con i nostri processi aziendali si è quindi rivelata piuttosto semplice. Una cosa che mi è molto piaciuta è stata la "profilazione" Utenti, molto facile da realizzare e la conseguente comodità di abilitare o meno la visione di determinati dati agli Utenti in modo veloce e con pochi passaggi (nel prodotto precedente che utilizzavo era molto limitata) Cons: L'unica nota negativa e che ho riscontrato nei Report Birt è l'impiego di troppa memoria del Client nella creazione della pagina html che riporta il risultato della mia query. Andando a occupare gran parte (se non la totalità) delle risorse del computer dell'utente questo risulta rallentato o addirittura inutilizzabile. Reasons for switching to Knowage Oracle ha deciso di dedicarsi ad altri progetti lasciando il prodotto Discoverer obsoleto Vendor Response Grazie Manuel per la tua recensione! Ti suggeriamo di provare la schedulazione batch dei report in pdf per non caricare eccessivamente il client. Facci sapere se questo suggerimento ti e stato d'aiuto, oppure contattaci via email (knowage@eng.it)! Replied April 2022 Read More VR Verified Reviewer Professional Training & Coaching 51-200 employees Used daily for less than 2 years Reviewed April 2022 Buon prodotto 4 La possibilità di creare un report una sola volta che può essere scaricato sempre aggiornato dagli utenti Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 4 Value for money 3 Customer support 3 Functionality Pros: La facilità nell'utilizzo e la possibilità di creare dataset che possono essere condivisi con più utenti in modo molto veloce e intuitivo. Creare in pochi passaggi dashboard di notevole impatto da condividere. Cons: Dovrei sperimentare meglio l'integrazione con altri sistemi per poter dare un giudizio complessivo, forse potrebbe essere migliorata la parte dei modelli di business e rendere la piattaforma più personalizzabile anche per un utente non amministratore in modo da fornire solo la base delle query che possono poi essere modellate e manipolate da tutti in maniera più agevole ed intuitiva Vendor Response Grazie per aver recensito KNOWAGE! Come raccontanto nel webinar di presentazione della roadmap per il 2022, disponibile qui (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQZEKREcRzQ), la serie 8 di KNOWAGE sta progressivamente incrementando l'usabilita dei cruscotti e sta fornendo strumenti di preparazione del dato che permettono agli utenti di tipo business di manipolare in autonomia i dati e muoversi in essi con modalita self-service sempre piu fluida.

Often, the performance issues are due to the data architecture. In the latest KNOWAGE versions, KNOWAGE greatly boosted the possibility to embed HTML and R/Python code.

Verified reviewer Information Technology and Services 51-200 employees Used monthly for less than 2 years Reviewed June 2021 Knowage Review by accountant - USER 4 Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Functionality Pros: It can present an enormous range of data, in my case, financial data. Efficiently and effectively producing data with filters and subtotals. It can produce interactive dashboard which is a plus. The drill down function is great, too. Cons: Being an accountant, I used charts a lot of times. Downside with this is that it doesn't support much charts that can be found in MS Excel. Also, the dashboard design scheme doesn't have a lot of options. Vendor Response Thank you Shaira for your review. Since Knowage 7.2 edition, we introduced the Custom Chart widget in our dashboards: it allows to create charts using native libraries directly .With Knowage 8.0 coming this summer, a new gallery of already-built widgets will be available with additional types of charts, we hope this will better support your work!
