Halo BI Review

PROS: I like that Halo enabled our data to be processed clearly and without any fuss.

CONS: It would be great to have affordable rates for server upgrades and for BI's load times to speed up more.

PROS: I like that Halo enables me to streamline all company information into one platform, whose improvements are indicative of how Halo's offerings and packages are competitive compared with other software available in the market.

CONS: It would be great for the UX and UI to be a lot easier to get used to, especially for beginners, because it was a struggle in the beginning.

PROS: I like having templates for building dashboards that are easy to integrate with our company processes. Halo offers many features that are very intuitive and easy to use.

CONS: I wish we didn't have to locally duplicate data sources from the cloud because of Halo's onsite limitations.

PROS: I've been using the product for over five years, and I constantly marvel at how incredibly reliable it is. It takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it, it's the best!

CONS: I don't have any complaints. I just recommend that knowledge about MDX would be useful if you'd like to change how things looked in a grid, but Hallo's customer service team will also be able to walk you through the process anyway.

PROS: We're able to strategically place our efforts on business intelligence so much more conveniently.

CONS: Data access and processing could be a little quicker.

PROS: I like that the support team is with us every step of the way. They are prompt in their replies and always have a solution to our issues and would even follow up to see if we have concerns about the issue we raised.

CONS: It would be great for the login emails to come from our own domain, instead of a set one.

PROS: I like that Halo is flexible for our needs, in terms of formatting and designing essential elements that we can do ourselves using the tool, which is very consistent in quality.

CONS: It would be great if the learning curve wasn't so steep when it comes to Halo and the cube form. It would also be great if the tool's front end could be more flexible in terms of formatting and shapes. In our team, not everything should be a cube, so using Halo's front-end functions can be tricky and uncommon to other more common tools.

PROS: Thanks to Halo BI's features, we're able to agree on better and more informed decisions because we're able to track our data and get insights from it.

CONS: It would be a lot better if Halo can allow more integration to third-party sources. I understand they're working on this.

PROS: I like that Halo enables us to keep a record of our past sales and that we can pull up information instantly. It's very easy to use, and their customer service support is excellent.

CONS: I look forward to the fix to improve Halo's pivot data.

PROS: I like that the features are very user-friendly. It's a simple drag-and-drop, offers a graphics function, and can accommodate tweaks that fit our team's needs.

CONS: Processes including ETL jobs and other backend work could be done a little more simply.

PROS: I like that training for designs are being offered for their data vis function.

CONS: It would be great for the pages to load faster, and for HaloDW to be more intuitive when it comes to settings calibration for a smoother UX.

PROS: I like that Halo's service and delivery is excellent. It's not just easy-to-use analytics and BI solution, it also offers insights and recommendations that help us make informed decisions that benefit the company. Halo's support team is strong: they are kind, patient, and able to resolve any issue or concern we reach out to them about.

CONS: I don't think so. I like Halo -- it benefits everyone.

PROS: I like that this user-friendly product's support team is always on hand to answer our questions and help us troubleshoot issues. Halo Source is the best in consolidating our data resources instantly. Halo overall is very reliable and has enabled us to become a more time-efficient team.

CONS: I wish we could install specific packages only, instead of reinstalling the whole application. It causes glitches on the web app too, even if Halo Source is not affected.

PROS: I like the sleek design of the reports generated by Halo, and the information is so easy to share with all the teams in our company.

CONS: It would be really awesome if Halo would help us create cross table reports and formulas in calculated fields using a more "friendly" language.
