What makes Bold BI so Great?
Bold BI is rated 4.4 out of 5 on G2 and 4.9 out of 5 on Capterra, GetApp and Software Advice (as of October 2026).
I appreciate Bold BI for making it easier to provide reporting for our customers, allowing both our analysts and customers to easily build and publish reports. The ability to build dashboards and modify queries for specific outcomes is very user-friendly. I value the mobile readiness of the app and its integration capabilities with API structures. The addition of AI features is impressive. The economic pricing model and the effective partnership, which includes consistent and helpful support, make it an invaluable tool for our OEM model.
The support from Bold is unmatched. They do not charge extra for support and it is excellent anyway. All our tickets and questions are quickly answered with authoritative and precise guidance. This is important at the product is complex, powerful and mature. To get the most out of the tool, the level of support they provide is essential.
It was easy to implement data visualizations into our product. The standard widgets allowed us to build professional looking dashboards, and a robust API provided excellent control of the development and runtime process from within our application.
