Kyvos Semantic Intelligence Layer vs. Longview Analytics

Kyvos Insights has made it simple for us to work with all our customer data. Now, we get a clear picture of how we’re doing across locations and products, all thanks to its performant tech. It's the only tool that allowed us to explore five years of data and get answers quickly.

It is very suitable for complete corporate BI solutions. If you see BI as embedding information into your organization and business processes, and thus as more than just a few scattered dashboards and reports, arcplan is your platform. It's less suitable for ad-hoc reporting and data discovery. It can do it (everything is possible), but there is strong competition in this area.

• Easy to integrate with existing tech stack.
• It is easy to make big complex queries and minimal processing time.
• Good customer support and customization support from customer service team.

• Excellent dashboard.
• Well advanced BI metrics.
• Better interfacing to other DW.

• We’re able to add more dimensions and measures to our reports without performance issues. Another great advantage of Kyvos Insights was the capability to migrate our workloads to GCP.

• Positioning and marketing. Most BI vendors use a non-technical sales strategy and focus on shiny, sexy dashboards to sell the story. In order to position arcplan fairly and correctly, the technical and business advantages need to be part of a sales story. So, it is not really an easy product to sell to customers, if it has to compete with now-to-wow-five-minute products.
• Learning/training for developers. It's easy to learn the basics of arcplan, because the interface is logical. But nothing prevents a beginning developer from creating a monstrous application, because there is no prescribed architecture. It really takes some experience to become a good arcplan architect. It's a disadvantage resulting from one of arcplan's biggest advantages.
• Data connectors: arcplan standard comes with a connector of your choice. Additional connectors need to be purchased separately. Many other products come with a full range of connectors.

Kyvos has made a big difference by enabling fast data processing and interactive reporting. It has significantly reduced the time needed to gain insights and made it easier to expand our data operations without slowing down, greatly improving our efficiency.

to be honest we used all these platform along with Tableau. Its just each of them fulfil different use cases. Kyvos Insights is more about a platform to with with big data for investigations.

Personally, I prefer QlikView not because it's more stable but simply just for the looks of the dashboard. One of my clients in Sydney recently moved from arcplan to QlikView. The reason was mainly looks and that QlikView has more training materials for the support users to train with. So in all, it does not really stack well against QlikView.

• We’d love more customization options to adapt the platform to our specific needs. The initial setup was also a bit tricky, but once done, it runs smoothly.
