### "Loved Cube.js"

January 29, 2024

5.0

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of using Cube Cloud is its managed infrastructure, which significantly reduces the time spent on server maintenance and setup, allowing developers to focus more on feature development. It excellently handles scalability, making it ideal for applications that process large datasets and complex queries. Overall, Cube Cloud is a robust and developer-friendly platform, particularly suited for larger or growing applications that need scalability and real-time data analytics

Cons

Area for improvement is the documentation for Cube.js, which could be more detailed, particularly in handling specific use cases, making it easier for new users to implement solutions effectively

### "Semantic Layer POC"

July 12, 2024

3.0

Pros

\- Playground Area - Easy Connection with Preset

Cons

\- Complex from the perspective that you need a middle database to connect with Preset - Not sure if its possible but having another repo for the semantic layer so we keep two different sources for the YAML files is not ideal. - Very expensive compared to other products like MetricFlow

### "Great way to reveal dashboard data"

October 16, 2024

5.0

Our experience with Cube Cloud has been fantastic! It's really streamlined our analytics workflow by providing a centralized semantic layer that ensures consistent data and metrics across all our BI and data tools. With Cube Cloud, we were able to get up and running incredibly fast thanks to the fully managed cloud deployment. This saved us tons of time and effort compared to managing infrastructure ourselves. The developer collaboration features have been game-changing for our team. We can build and iterate on data models so much faster and easier now that everything is in one place and we're all working from the same playbook. The productivity gains have been substantial. Having the semantic layer as that central point of truth for definitions and logic has been a huge benefit. We no longer have to worry about different tools or business units using slightly different metrics or calculations. Cube Cloud keeps everything standardized, so we can have full confidence in the numbers. Security and compliance are always top of mind for us, so we love that Cube Cloud has us covered there with all the key certifications and controls. It's one less thing to stress about. We've been able to build some great analytics solutions with Cube Cloud, like the dashboards and customer-facing data exports cheddarup mentioned. The platform has been robust and flexible enough to handle all our use cases. Overall, Cube Cloud has exceeded our expectations. It's made managing our data and analytics so much simpler and more efficient. We're really happy with the experience and the impact it's had for our team and stakeholders.

Pros

\- Fully managed hosting enables fast deployment - Developer collaboration tools simplify building and maintaining data models - Strong security, observability and compliance features - Serves as a centralized semantic layer for consistent data and metrics across BI and analytics tools

Cons

\- Pricing and cost considerations aren't clear before using the product - As a cloud service, data must be moved to or exposed to Cube Cloud which may present data governance challenges for some organizations

### "Little use opinion."

February 6, 2024

5.0

Very useful and understandable, it even made me happy when I started using it, the only thing is that cube cloud UI is working a little slow, don't know if its Cube Cloud or a problem with our way of using it.

Pros

It is very easy to learn and use, it has a lot of tools, and the testing so we can't messed up the production or even staging of our software is very useful.

Cons

For now I don't have anything to say, as I say I have very little time using the semantic layer.

### "Cube makes Embedding easy"

January 19, 2024

4.0

Pros

Cube Cloud makes embedding analytics really easy, by adding an abstraction layer that links source tables with an easy-to-use API. At the same time, through caching mechanisms, it guarantees that access is as fast as possible, in the orders of few milliseconds. Support is always available and ready to make a positive impact in deployments.

Cons

Documentation is tricky to understand and setting up local deployments is not easy for novice users.
