Pros: We recently moved from SSAS to Kyvos and couldn’t be happier! We’ve been able to replace dozens of cubes with a single semantic layer that gives a consistent view of metrics and hierarchies.

Cons: The migration process from SSAS to Kyvos was quite smooth. Nothing to complain about really.

Overall: Before Kyvos, every one of our OLAP cubes was like a separate silo of metrics. Kyvos has given us a single semantic truth for all our BI tools. Plus, it handles large-scale data smoothly without any performance issues.

Pros: Kyvos has made it much easier to explore and analyze large-scale data. It maps complex data to business-friendly terms and enables us to drill down deep for comparative analysis and granular insights.

Cons: Haven’t faced any major challenges. Sometimes it’s hard to catch up with the latest updates as they have monthly releases.

Overall: We work with petabyte-scale data which was literally impossible to explore with our existing analytics tools. They couldn’t handle data at that scale - drilldowns were limited and comparative analysis was very slow. Kyvos has made this whole process much smoother, it allows easy querying and drilling through raw data using Presto and Hive.

Pros: Our team was struggling with real-time calculations as our datasets were massive. Our BI dashboards were lagging and they couldn't support dynamic, on-the-go analysis across data combinations. Kyvos has enabled us to instantly analyze millions of data points and run complex calculations.

Cons: Kyvos brings many advantages to the table, no pain points as of now.

Overall: We used to spend hours manually stitching together data from Excel files, PPT decks, BI tools and third-party systems. Drilldowns were also limited. We are now able to analyze a lot more data, much faster

Pros: Kyvos has helped us standardize business metrics across the organization. Earlier, different teams would use their own formats, definitions and reporting logic – there was no consistent source of truth. Now analytics and reporting have become much smoother.

Cons: Working well for us as of now, no bottlenecks worth mentioning. Their repository of demos is also helpful.

Overall: Before adopting this semantic layer, we often used to find the same business metric varying across reports. This meant a lot of manual adjustments and versioning issues. Kyvos has solved this issue, making data analysis much more efficient.

Pros: Our cloud data platform costs were spiraling as we were being charged for each query. 
With Kyvos, we have been able to manage those costs while still running large-scale analysis without restrictions.

Cons: Kyvos has helped us reduce both cost and effort. We have nothing to complain about at this time.

Overall: We no longer have to worry about mounting cloud costs. Kyvos manages compute smoothly in the background.

Pros: Kyvos helps us deep dive into our datasets – regardless of the size or format. It is straightforward to use and our business users can easily explore and analyze data on their own. This has helped our organization save a lot of time and effort.

Cons: We have been using Kyvos for several months without any problems or issues.
