### "Insightful and Reliable Reporting for Support Teams"

April 23, 2026

4.0

Zendesk Explore is a useful resource for analyzing support performance and supporting data-driven decisions. Being in technical product support requires seeing trends in ticket volume, identifying any bottlenecks in support operations, and measuring service level agreement (SLA) compliance. With the right configurations, Zendesk Explore provides teams with a dependable reporting framework that allows them to find ways to improve processes and quantify results. Taking the time to become an expert creates good value for the time put into that effort.

Pros

Zendesk Explore is an impressive tool that allows users to analyze the large amount of data produced by Zendesk. The built-in reporting tools, including pre-built dashboards, make it easy to analyze customer support data such as ticket volume, SLA performance, agent productivity, and trends in customer satisfaction. The custom query builder is very versatile, and once a user understands how to write queries using the system's logic, they can create reports that fit their exact operational needs. Additionally, the ability to easily share dashboards with colleagues will help ensure that all departments are working together.

Cons

When creating custom metrics/working with calculated attributes there seems to be great learning curve. Several of the terms used and the structure of datasets aren't always clear to new users. Performance when loading large dashboards can lag, and the number of visualisation options are limited compared to other higher-end BI tools. Strong capabilities but not real user-friendly to new users.

### "easy to use"

December 11, 2025

4.0

Overall positive: it’s solid for operational monitoring and day-to-day support analytics, easy for non-technical users, but less suitable for deep analytics compared to BI tools like Power BI or Looker.

Pros

Its native integration with Zendesk Support: dashboards update automatically, metrics are reliable, and building reports is fast without extra setup.

Cons

Customization is limited: complex calculations, joins across multiple datasets, and advanced visualizations often require workarounds or aren’t supported.

### "Back to 2000 - Limited fuinctionalities"

January 26, 2026

3.0

Zendesk feels like a tool dating back from the early 2000s with very limited functionalities besides a 2-way communication between 2 defined parties.

Pros

Ticketing system to keep track of requests between end users and shared service centers (e.g. payroll, benefits, HRIS) which allows to keep track of your requests and the status.

Cons

It has limited functionalities. For example, when a third party needs to be informed of the progress of a request, the third party cannot see the full history on the ticket and cannot take part in its resolution. This makes it very clunky.

### "A real disruptor in the BI dashboard space"

May 11, 2016

5.0

I have used Bime for the last few months at my agency. We use it for client reporting, internal reporting, real-time monitoring and insights, and a whole wealth of other stuff. I've used Tableau extensively before, and I have to say that Bime is superior in just about every way. I foresee Bime being a real disruptor in the BI space. The tool is very flexible and capable. Building data connections only takes a few seconds, and there are more options for visualizations, refinements and calculated metrics that I rarely ever come across limitations. The simplicity of Bime's UX has also made it very easy for me to teach non-technical people across other teams how to not only use dashboards, but create their own. Any time I have a question, I get a response within an hour from their customer service team. Overall, I have been extremely satisfied with my decision to use Bime.

Pros

\-Very easy to use and teach non-technical people. -Extremely flexible and capable platform -Excellent customer service -Very scalable pricing plans

Cons

\-Documentation hasn't caught up to improvements/features with the tool

### "I would use BIME again"

November 12, 2018

4.0

If you are stuck in the ice ages of excel reports and lots of copy paste then i definitely recommend. The are more robust options out there but they also have a higher price point

Pros

The more time analysts spend building reports the worse off your team will be in the long run. With BIME we had a great start each month with an auto-generated deck of performance results.

Cons

The integrations were tricky and we had a lot of sources to include.

### "Easy Use"

April 22, 2014

5.0

I've always found that basic analytics tools are handy, but will only show you so much and most of the data isn't needed. It's the exact opposite with Bime, it's been a very easy-going setup and all the data I need to see is only a click or two away. So far I've been very impressed with is user interface and overall inner-workings!

### "Digital Reporting by BIME"

May 10, 2018

4.0

Pros

BIME is very easy to use for digital marketing people. It has tons of connections. Since it's very easy to use, you don't spend too much time to implement.

Cons

Coomunity support is still a bit weak. Also it's not flexible as Tableau. It's more digital marketers tool than BI tool.

### "Aucun support"

October 7, 2020

1.0

Pros

Quand ça fonctionne c'est cool, les reportings sont clairs, l'utilisation est relativement aisée après une prise en main de quelques heures et cela fait gagner bcp de temps

Cons

Depuis plus de 5 semaines, il est impossible d'avoir de réponses de la part du service support, alors qu'ils ont été racheté par Zendesk spécial support client... Motif la solution n'est plus mis à jour - pour un logiciel à 450 euros par mois, c'est honteux

### "Fast and easy, very agile"

January 17, 2014

5.0

Working in an Agile startup scene(Berlin), I find I always come back to BIME, regardless of the company I end up working for. This tool is incredibly easy to set up, taking you from datasource to good web-published dashboards in MINUTES. Data source changes? No problem, just switch out the connection, only takes a minute. Need an extra dashboard to show a client, with different applied filters? MINUTES!! It's a huge time saver, low maintenance tool. I strongly recommend for any BI analyst that needs to publish their data. Not only that, but after the connections are created(which is just a matter of clicking a few buttons and typing in an IP for databases, or just browsing your computer/google drive for a file), any non-tech user can pivot millions of rows of data in countless ways - Give power to your managers, and save yourself the time to create their reports - They can do it themselves just as fast as you, whenever they want. No more late night/weekend calls, since now they can pull their own reports in minutes. Schedule email reports, manage access to the data, create fast and easy dashboards, with next to no maintenance! It's definitely not as flexible as coding your own charts and your own webpage to show them on, but unless you enjoy writing and maintaining hundreds of lines of sql/javascript/css/html, save yourself the trouble and get this amazing tool - it is literally maintenace free!

Pros

Very quick to work with, highly intuitive. Easy for non-tech Password-protection, easy user mgmt Minutes from data source connection to published dashboards. Cloud hosted No maintenance on the code you would otherwise have to write.

### "Basic functionality and nothing more"

January 2, 2018

2.0

Not worth the time investment - use your time wisely and implement a better BI tool.

Pros

It gets the job done, I guess. Visualizations come out pretty nicely, although it takes a LOT more work than it should to set it up.

Cons

The way it connects to the database and pulls data from databases makes the backend very messy. The tool is not very flexible and cannot do any sort of advanced graphing. It's basic, and good for making dashboards that NO ONE touches, but not very good as a BI tool in my opinion.

May 16, 2017

5.0

Solved my dashboard needs... published information to several types of users and they can interact with their information very easily.

Pros

Very nice visualizations (charts), very intuitive, elegant simple approach to BI. You can build dashboards very easily and fast,,, and have them published in a few minutes...

Cons

There are a few features that need to mature a little bit. There are other products that offer lower pricing than BIME.

I like that you can add data in from any channel. I like that you can manipulate the data to show it how you want to see it.

The charts that generate are clunky. The interface isn't as visually appealing as I would like it to be.

So far I've just signed up for the free trial but I'm very impressed with what I have seen so far. It's been the easiest to use of all the solutions I have tested, and the only one with a direct connection to Google. Definitely planning to sign up for 3 months initially and maybe more in the future
