Arcadia is an innovative product that makes it easier to get value from our big data environment.
What do you like best?
The thing I've appreciated the most out of Arcadia is the speed at which you can create dashboards against huge datasets. Doing this in traditional BI tools simply isn't possible.
What do you dislike?
The company is new and occasionally you will encounter some bugs in the software. Their support team is extremely responsive and the pros of the product far outweigh this one con.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say, try it out if you are skeptical. I think any organization would be hard pressed to say Arcadia isn't a huge improvement over traditional BI tools when it comes to working within a big data environment.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We needed a toolset that was easy to use and allowed our power analysts a way to profile giant datasets(5B plus rows) and create visualizations based on the insights they garnered. Arcadia has made this a reality.
