Knowi

What do you like best?

Know offers a web-based BI tool that requires no coding and is easy to use. I enjoy the ease of importing and manipulating data with their ReSTful APIs, combining datasets with implicit joins, embedding and sharing URLs in HTML single line of HTML code, and the toolbox of offerings for core metrics that clients may immediately request. I have been building BI dashboards for years and I like that this tool offers the ability for analysts at all technical levels to be able to make sense of their data. Data literacy and access to your data source is necessary, but this product has far fewer barriers of entry than other web-based BI tools like Looker or Qlikview. Their NLP algorithm is competitive with other BI tools as well.

What do you dislike?

Nothing to dislike, Knowi is a good tool

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Excellent for fast analytics for non-technical people.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I had a NoSQL database in MongoDB that was a legacy database from a client's acquisition of a company that went out of business. The database was poorly maintained and not normalized - I was able to leverage Knowi to be able to make sense of data deficiencies, some geographical tags, and find relationships between the legacy database and the current database, adding a level of historical data to the company's metrics.
