The platform regularly brings forward upgrades and ensures that they are delivered to us smoothly. Even our requests for enhancements are responded to promptly, making us confident that we chose the right partner for our needs.

Negative: There are no major downsides to using Kyvos Insights.

Summary: Overall recommend to anyone having to deal with big data and have lack of visibility or no possibility for user friendly drilling down to the bottom of the analytical data.
Solution is quite flexible and reliable in terms of product quality and vendor support.

Positive: Great product for slice and dice of business data solution, with many flexible features for getting data quickly, efficiently and reliable. It allowed us to build cubes as per business needs that can be accessed by users for dig in and drill down into particular areas of interest in data.
From installation and administrative perspective it is fairly simple to setup and Kyvos Support team is very professional, responsive and helpful in delivering the product, as well as making new features available and happily receive feedback from customers to explore as new areas of product improvement.

Negative: No significant cons, all the feedback are accepted by support team for product improvement and make product fit customer needs better.

Summary: The Kyvos product is very well received by our users. The Kyvos team really listen to our feedback and provide solutions to what we need going forward. This is then presented to us at future upgrade demos. The Kyvos team have integrated with our in house team seamlessly and they really do go the extra mile.

Positive: I have found Kyvos very intuitive as a product, however, my main experience is working with the Kyvos team whom have been brilliant throughout. We have weekly governance calls to ensure everything is covered off from a business perspective but also that any infrastructure/performance concerns can be addressed. The team are super responsive and excellent in their knowledge of not only their product but in understanding what our business needs. They work with us from the requirements gathering phase through to development, testing, performance impact analysis, UAT, implementation, Post Implementation Testing and monitoring to ensure we have an application not only up and running but working to the optimal standards at all times. As part of the ongoing monitoring, the Kyvos team often look at ways to optimise existing cubes with a desire and focus on continuous improvement. If only all vendors were as knowledgeable, helpful and reliable.

Negative: So far I personally have had nothing but a positive experience.

Summary: Kyvos is the perfect fit for our product needs, allowing us to modernize and centralize our semantic layer, and providing a lightweight visualization layer that Kyvos support integrating into our product in a seamless, single user experience, fashion.

Kyvos Support is the most responsive and helpful I have experienced in my 20+ career in software.

Positive: Kyvos provide an easy to use interface, along with extensive APIs to support automation and integration into our product.

The Kyvos Semantic model is responsive, fast and is helping us modernize our application.

The Kyvos Visualization tooling is light weight, easy to use and providing us with a modern way to surface Dashboard and Report content for our consumers.

Kyvos works very well on Azure, leveraging Databricks and integrating with our wider environment, meeting complex security and compliance needs.

Kyvos support team have been beyond responsive in providing us help with learning, configuration and any difficulties encountered.

Negative: Kyvos is a VM based deployment, and we would love for it to embrace a Kubernetes approach, providing a little more flexibility around scaling.

Summary: Earlier, getting campaign insights often involved going back and forth for updated reports. Kyvos has helped us react faster, make quicker adjustments and spend more time improving campaigns.

Positive: We track campaign performance across channels and the questions keep changing as campaigns evolve. Kyvos semantic layer has helped us to quickly move from a high-level view to detailed insights. This is especially helpful when campaigns are running live.

Negative: It took a little time to get comfortable with it, but after that it’s been straightforward.

Summary: Earlier, a lot of time went into preparing datasets before analysis could even begin. With Kyvos semantic layer, that initial friction is significantly reduced. Our workflow is more efficient now.

Positive: We work with high-volume data that involves customer behavior, product interactions, time-based trends and we need to explore patterns to make important decisions. Kyvos allows us to move across multiple dimensions, drill into combinations and test different hypotheses.

Negative: At first, it feels like you’re working within a defined structure rather than shaping the data freely for every analysis. Over time, that actually speeds things up, because you are not redoing the same preparation steps again and again for similar use cases.

Summary: Our main challenge was dashboard responsiveness. Users often avoided drilling into data because it took too long and we ended up creating multiple summary reports as a workaround. With Kyvos, teams can explore data more freely without running into performance issues.

Positive: We started using Kyvos semantic layer mainly because our dashboards were getting slower as data volume increased. Some of our reports involve detailed drilldowns and performance would drop when users tried to explore beyond summary levels. After moving to Kyvos, those same dashboards feel noticeably faster and more interactive.

Another thing I have seen is that performance stays stable even during peak usage. Earlier, mornings were especially slow when multiple teams accessed reports together. That’s no longer an issue and users can interact with dashboards without waiting between clicks. We also didn’t have to change our BI layer, which made adoption easier for the business.

Negative: No real complaints at this point. It’s been working as expected for our use case.

Summary: Slow dashboard responses were a common complaint before Kyvos, specifically at peak times. This was limiting our ability to make time-critical decisions using BI. Now, it is easy to process large volumes of data and we're able to provide our stakeholders with critical insights faster than ever.

Positive: The biggest impact for us has been speed. Our data is on Snowflake, and in the past, we saw complex queries slowing things down particularly when lots of users queried the data. After implementing Kyvos, the difference was immediate. Even heavy, multi-dimensional queries return results in seconds.

Negative: So far, we haven’t faced any critical issues.

Summary: Since we work with extremely large datasets, we were facing a lot of performance issues. After using Kyvos, we get insights much faster. The query response time has really gone down, and we can scale more easily.

Positive: Kyvos helps us perform complex analytics and get faster query responses on Looker. We’ve been able to connect Looker directly to all our data sources and work with dashboards that get refreshed instantly.

Negative: More pros than cons really! Whatever teething issues we had were addressed by their support team quickly.

Summary: As our organizational data runs into petabytes, we were finding it hard to train our AI agents on the complete data. This was creating blind spots and impacting contextual understanding and accuracy. Kyvos has helped us address this problem and we have been able to ship production-grade AI applications much faster.

Positive: We can plug our LLMs and AI agents seamlessly into Kyvos semantic layer (instead of connecting them to multiple raw data sources). It gives AI access to all our enterprise data with standardized business logic and definitions. This helps reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy of responses.

Negative: Slight learning curve for some of the advanced features, but once we got a hang of them things were fine.

Summary: Kyvos has completely transformed our reporting capabilities. It used to be slow and constrained by data volume. Now, we can easily get into much larger datasets and generate reports in a fraction of the time.

Positive: The biggest benefit with Kyvos is faster performance. It plugged right into our cloud setup and started working with our BI tools without any hassle.

Negative: There’s always room for improvement in any product, but I think Kyvos is already performing really well
