SuiteCRM Analytics worth Installing?

[pstevens]

I’ve had my eye on SuiteCRM Analytics for a while now and just never got around to installing it. I’m starting to get more and more clients demand more complex BI from SutieCRM than standard reports can provide.

Can anyone who’s installed it and using it give me a review? Is it worth the time to setup and install?

Does it work well? Is it robust enough for a wide range of reporting and analytics?

Would appreciate any feedback.

Hello @pstevens,

Yes I would also like anyone in the community to share their experiences with SuietCRM Analytics. I have had a quick look at it on github but I’m not convinced its being actively developed ?

The solution I’ve successfully used is a third party report writer. I talk about it more in the following thread where i’m trying to determine if SuiteCRM and another app can access the database at the same time ?

Third Party Report Writer Compatibility

Hello, Anyone that has worked with ERP solutions i.e. SAP and or equivalents soon find out that the core platform does not have all the standard reports an end user may need. Or the user needs ad-hoc reports which are not provided by the platform. Asking a developer to produce those reports is painfully slow and generally expensive in my experience. The generally accepted solution is to use an independent report writing tool such as SAP Crystal Reports which connects to the platform database…

Thanks.
