Easy Peasey, fresh and um... Dashboards?!?
I was looking for an solution for internal dashboarding, BoldBI was priced well, easy to understand, and well documented. I mean really well documented. Great deployment options, a JS SDK, and did i mention the documentation?
BoldBI was just right for what i needed, not too complicated, not too simple. I can train users on dashboards, or write my own custom controls. Best of both worlds.
