Cube Browser for Windows

Product snapshot

Cube Browser is a Windows application for querying multidimensional data hosted on Rystad Energy servers. It helps users pull, inspect and visualize cube-based datasets, producing tables, charts and geographic displays that can be included in reports or other documents. The interface is built to speed analysis of large data volumes while keeping workflows straightforward for analysts and decision-makers.

Primary capabilities

• Create custom queries against Rystad Energy data cubes and extract targeted datasets for analysis.
• Build and tweak interactive visualizations and tabular reports that can be exported to external files or embedded in documents.
• Visualize results on maps to combine spatial context with numerical analysis.
• Work with large-scale datasets efficiently thanks to tools for filtering, slicing and aggregating cube content.

Data protection and transfer

Communications between the client and Rystad’s servers use vendor-supplied encryption protocols to protect data while in transit. This ensures that query results and any transferred files maintain integrity and confidentiality during exchange.

Setup and user access

Installation is straightforward and does not require administrator rights on the host PC; configuration and structural files are stored locally per user. That makes the tool easy to deploy across teams and suitable for users without elevated system privileges.

Options to evaluate

• BuildIT (free) — a recommended, no-cost alternative for similar cube-query workflows.
• Microsoft Power BI — broader business-intelligence platform with strong visualization and sharing features.
• Qlik Sense — flexible analytics and associative data discovery for complex datasets.
• Tableau Public — widely used visualization tool with a free public-hosting tier for exploratory work.

Who benefits most

Cube Browser is well suited to analysts and technical users who need to interrogate large, cube-style datasets quickly and securely. Its combination of exportable outputs, visual tools and lightweight installation make it a practical choice within the utilities and tools space.
