Good product overall, if you know what you're doing.
What do you like best about the product?
Robust SQL engine, numerous types of connections to several data sources, relatively easy integration of multiple data sources in single dashboard. Enterprise product enables us to pick and choose the components we need, and we're able to meet most reporting problems with the wide-variety of tools within platform. Cloud services also helps us spend less time on operational stability.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some disparity among different types of objects (reports, documents, dashboards) both in UI as well as feature set. Graphs look great in dashboards, but terrible in reports. Efficiently utilizing full array of features in platform requires a lot of education about what all the products do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating a "single source of truth" data. Standardizing data governance across enterprise. Enabling users to be self-sufficient with self-service BI.
Terrible.

It looks pretty and used AJAX to interact instead of our old report center which used activex.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every update produced more bugs than it fixed. Would require entire reports to be re-worked.

We run a report center, so it works well with that.
