We use Periscope Data to handle and manage massive amounts of customer data. Our team of analysts uses it to create dashboards, graphs, and charts to visually demonstrate business issues that our customers face. It has helped us transition from old spreadsheets and Excel to being able to create visually stunning visuals.
Pros
Periscope Data supports SQL, R, and Python in the same environment.
Periscope Data offers many ways to visualize data, ranging from maps, charts, and graphs.
Data can easily be shared across many channels, including Slack and email.
Cons
Some of the dashboards can be slow to load; especially when they have lots of features and widgets.
The software could be made a little easier for people that don't have a data or programming background.
It is pricey so not a great option for small companies or research/home projects.
Likelihood to Recommend
Periscope Data is really well suited for organizations that work with a lot of data and need ways to share data internally or externally with clients. All of the features of the software can fully be taken advantage of if you have staff that is well versed in data analytics, data management, and programming.
Periscope data is used across our organization here at Squadlocker. It serves all reporting/data needs for various departments like Marketing, Sales, Design and day to day monitoring for the Production and Art departments. Easy to create Ad-hoc reports, interactive dashboards are easy to share and used by various partners. Leveraging the Redshift data warehouse along with Periscope's database caching strategies and other ETL processes provides for an efficient data analysis platform for Product and Data Science Teams.
Pros
Data integration with support for various databases and popular tools.
Built in SQL formatter.
Use SQL to prepare and publish data sets for use with built in support for Python and R.
Quick setup for SQL Alerts, Views and Snippets.
Excellent on demand support team.
Cons
Caching tables can be problematic and views without unique columns do not cache accurately
SQL query parsing errors for queries running directly against databases can be confusing.
Issues with data sync in the Salesforce Integration.
Likelihood to Recommend
- Perfect for use cases which have multiple data sources with a range of databases, CRM tools, and marketing tools to solve data integration issues towards achieving a single source of truth. - Despite having an excellent support team it is recommended to have good SQL knowledge to get the best out of data analysis using Periscope Data.
Waitr has just started to use Periscope, and we already love it. Between the documentation for Redshift in general, and Periscopes help files and outstanding customer support team we can get most things done easily or at least find out why they aren't working and try a new approach. They have been very attentive to our needs, and are rolling out new (and more importantly useful) features.
Pros
Organization of disparate data sources
Ability to run complex calculations using up to date and standardized tooling via Python and R
Their customer support team would keep me here even if they were missing features we needed
Cons
The UI can be nit-picky about not showing you full table names if they are long
There are some arbitrary restrictions on field content length that are removable, but not obvious to the end user
No way to make Python/R libraries to enable code reuse. Of note, they are working to fix this however with git integration.

Your data is eventually consistent, this includes your data pipeline to your warehouse, to roughly an hour so real time metrics are difficult if your time constraints are less than that. I have yet to find a position/department in our company that could not benefit from Periscope. In fact we are moving several of our other data visualizations off other systems and into Periscope since it is so very much better suited to those roles.
Periscope Data is used by most of the departments within my company. Analysts use Periscope Data to explore production datasets and create initial visualizations easily, which are later consumed by the business users. Besides visualizations, business users often download raw data provided via tables on Periscope Data, which helps as a workaround when our internal tools are still limited.
Pros
quick and helpful response from support
various visualization options
enables cross-database joins
enables shared dashboards via email
has alert features
Cons
no connection to Treasure Data
query error feedbacks aren't easily understood, especially on cross database joins
still limited filter feature for BigQuery
chart drill down is quite difficult to use

If your company is still on the early stage yet it produces data with various domains, your analysts will be grateful to have Periscope Data as the main tool. Although they might not be able to combine your data here - except relies on Periscope cache (which is super helpful!), they could explore the data quite easily and produce visualization without additional coding skills. Periscope Data's support team is quite responsive and they don't hesitate to jump in and help to solve your problems.
