Ease of use8
The product is easy to use but has a long learning curve. I think it is because its graphical interface is not familiar to users of the windows office suite.
Features & Functionality9
The product has the basic features and functionalities of a generic BI Suite plus a series of specialized tools. The product is strengthened with the integration of third-party applications, e.g. Jasper.
Advanced Features9
The product offers a lot of advanced features like: location intelligence, data mining, predictive analysis; all of these necessary to implement a optimum ecosystem for BI. By the way, we use the product to support the whole process in our company.
Integration8
Knowage has a API to manage the lifecycle of analytical documents and data sets. The ES/JS API is a very useful improvement.
Performance6.8
Sadly the product is based on java, a resource-consuming technology.
