Bottom Line: Robust analytics suite that designed for any user, regardless of technical expertise.

Product Overview

Pyramid Decision Intelligence Platform is an end-to-end platform that combines data prep, data science and business analytics features into one solution. Users can quickly prep data for analysis with a point-and-click interface, build machine learning models, easily connect with multiple data sources, and more. Pyramid can be deployed in the cloud, on premise or a hybrid of both.

This review will focus on the business analytics capabilities.

Pyramid’s business analytics suite is a self-service solution designed for any user, regardless of technical expertise. It includes a modern, no-code interface with AI-driven features, so any user can build their own analytical content.

Pyramid includes seven analytical modules: Model, Formulate, Discover, Illustrate, Present, Tabulate/Solve and Publish. We’ll describe each module in our Features section below.

  • Standard – The Standard edition accommodates up to 100 Professional and Viewer users and is also deployed on a single server. Note that Viewer users refer to users that only interact with content shared by Professional users. This edition includes mobile phone access and standard mapping features.
