Thoughts on DataSelf?

We started looking at Dataself recently.  We have been doing a “roll your own” data warehouse for reporting with PowerBI, and it’s been painful.  The PowerBI side is great, but we’re working with our MSP who has some knowledge of ETL and data warehousing, but no knowledge of Acumatica data

We have a Dataself demo later this week, but I’m curious about the communities thoughts.

We’ve only scratched the surface with DataSelf and I really like the product and the people I’ve worked with. The ETL process has worked flawlessly for us. Once the data models are in place and validated, it’s essentially set it and forget it.

We went with the Tableau version and struggled with user adoption, simply because our internal resources are stretched thin and it’s an unfamiliar platform. The Power BI offering has had some pretty big enhancements recently and we’re considering the switch since our staff is more familiar with Power BI.

Overall, it’s a great tool. Highly recommend.
