BARC survey names Pyramid a top analytics choice for enterprises

In large organizations the success of a business intelligence (BI) and analytics solution depends on the preferences of multiple individuals within the team. If a tool only works for some departments, like data science or tech-oriented teams, then the rest of the company is either not using data at all or relies on these teams to constantly produce reports and extract insights for them. This creates delays and missed opportunities, not to mention bottlenecks preventing data professionals from focusing on strategic projects.

In the BI & Analytics Survey 25, recently released by independent market analyst firm BARC, Pyramid Analytics took the lead in key areas crucial for large organizations seeking powerful, scalable, and value-driven tools.

BARC’s annual survey is the world’s largest BI and analytics survey, with over 1,000 users questioned on 17 software solutions. This year, it emphasizes Pyramid’s standout performance, earning it 14 top rankings among the large and enterprise-wide implementations peer group.

Below, we’ll explore some of the categories in which users from larger companies found Pyramid to be their top choice.

Features and innovation

Built from the ground up as an all-inclusive decision intelligence platform combining data preparation, business intelligence, and data science, Pyramid allows teams to seamlessly manage everything from data modeling to visualization. It bridges the gap between data analysts and business users through a truly self-service interface that helps users of every level quickly start gaining insights.

Pyramid ranked above all competitors, including Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik, in both innovation and functionality, outperforming them in specific feature-related categories as well.

With GenBI, Pyramid’s generative AI feature, users can talk to their data and instantly get verbal insights, visualizations, and dashboards, without coding or even using any technical terms. The added accessibility helps bring up adoption rates among teams with diverse technological backgrounds. This is just one edge that led Pyramid to a top ranking in the operational BI category for large organizations.

Data preparation is another feature category where Pyramid ranked highest, scoring more than 30% above Power BI, Tableau, and MicroStrategy. Pyramid’s advanced data prep tool is seamlessly integrated within the platform. It works with existing data stacks and can blend disparate data and generate a single view to analyze and discover business insights. Unlike rival solutions, Pyramid never requires extracting data to provide analytic insights and high performance.

Product satisfaction and user experience

Pyramid ranked highest among large organizations and enterprise users in product satisfaction and customer satisfaction. When it comes to user experience, Pyramid also outperformed major players like Tableau, Power BI, and MicroStrategy.

95% of surveyed users expressed high satisfaction with Pyramid, underscoring its ease of use, reliability, and performance.

Support and service

Pyramid offers full support from the very beginning and throughout the entire customer lifecycle. A partnership with Pyramid doesn’t end with a sale. In fact, that’s where it starts. Following a proof-of-concept demo tackling an actual issue for the organization using real data, Pyramid experts continue to walk the team through the product and features. Even as the company grows and changes, Pyramid will ensure it’s making the most of the platform and its data.

So, is it any wonder that enterprise users consistently ranked Pyramid #1 in sales experience, implementation support, and vendor support?
