Periscope as a visualization tool
What do you like best about the product?
I particularly like the easy capability of sharing charts in the browser that can be refreshed with real-time data. It's very easy create any kind of standard chart or graph and most of it works seamlessly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The mobile experience is not optimal. It's hard to see the individual charts and choose filters with a mobile device, even one with a large screen. I think a stand-alone app would improve the Periscope platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Periscope to provide insight and support for mobile gaming and advertising data analytics. Periscope's ability to share dashboards easily has helped me collaborate quickly and effectively with colleagues in multiple locations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Excellent for visualization of data bases and the results of simple queries. Very good for those who want a shareable dashboard for visualizing data queries.
Great tool for BI
What do you like best about the product?
Great insights that have been gained from it.
What do you dislike about the product?
It requires a Windows server to run which requires us to have a separate skill set than normal as we are entirely Linux based.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Stock monitoring, profit and loss analysis, supplier KPI target monitoring.
Great tool that we use at our company

It reduces need for software engineers to create interfaces to the data and allows users to build useful charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cross joining causes complications so we typically have to move data to one server to avoid lag from caches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Surfacing realtime analytics to all users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Possibly add the ability to add functions to cached information
Incredible Data Visualization
What do you like best about the product?
Once you've got a dashboard set up, you can see all facets of performance of your business in seconds in a multitude of charts and tables. We all use it daily for a ton of different datapoints and it really helps keeping everyone abreast of how things are going.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only real point of dissension would be that tables break inexplicably for no rhyme or reason at times and then suddenly work again.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving the problem of everyone having easy, readily available, no-effort-required access to viewing performance of various media channels and specific industries instantly. I built team-specific dashboards and dashboards tailored for everyone's individual needs and we all seem to have the top-level awareness of performance while also being able to use periscope's functions to drill down to more granular levels with ease.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've already recommended it to friends within the industry. I've been the head periscope guy here since we started with the product and have been the one building out everyone's charts and dashboards. I absolutely love it. And i think we've only scratched the surface with the technical capabilities. A lot of folks use Tableau for data visualization, but periscope is basically the combination of Tableau and SQL in one.

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER

Their service, whenever I've had a doubt they answer fast and always in a good mood!

I don't like there's no "business" users, so if you don't know SQL it's impossible to use.

We're doing data analysis that helps our whole company (sales, customer service or operations), plus we've use it to make processes more efficient, by a simpler and better tracking.
