Description of FreeSight

FreeSight is a powerful self-service tool for data integration, data preparation, analytics and reporting tasks. It is also development platform for automating business processes and recurring reporting. It has a full-function spreadsheet component, a dynamic working "canvas" for building fully transparent operational workflows, automatic charting and data visualizations, simple and flexible file import and export functions, and more. Easy enough for "regular" business and data analysts -- and robust and powerful enough for data experts.

Excellent tool for building connections between various apps

Easy to use and customize as per your requirement with inbuilt tools like CSV uploads etc., Support from salesforce community team is excellent (in India we don't have much options). No free version of this product available yet so if you are looking at customizations then better spend more time understanding before going ahead. We used it primarily to create/maintain multiple set ups within our org using connectors provided by SFDC. I can see many opportunities where free sights could be…

Pros
  • Simplicity, user friendliness
  • In built analytics for reporting purposes alongwith pre defined reports also helps
  • Pre build integration capabilities.
  • Can easily integrate data sources such csv files.etc directly onto SalesForce objects hence eliminating needless steps involved while mapping fields manually between various systems(data source & database)
  • Connectors supported across different platforms make seamless connection possible thus reducing efforts required
Cons
  • It is hard to say

Great option if need an advanced reporting tool

The product has a lot of features that you can use to customize your reports to match exactly what you are looking for. I dislike some of the UI elements but this will likely improve with time. My favorite part about free sights is that it is open source so we can easily integrate our own data sets into their system. There is a lot of room for improvement in how easy it would be to add new data sources to the existing systems. We have a better understanding of which customers are using our…

Cons
  • Some areas need work

Not flexible enough for what is needed

We have used free sights to do ETLs of disparate systems into one system with SSIS which has been very helpful in allowing us an automated way to load our SQL tables daily when we need it as well make sure all transactions are correct before going live. I think there should be more options available such as being able to set up rules so that certain fields can only go between 2 related databases or even better if you could create custom flows within your database itself! This would save time…

Pros
  • It is extremely flexible, fast.etc etc..but sadly too limited for what im looking foward tp doing right now using dataflow task instead? Not intuitive enough yet either?! Would like something similar perhaps integrated directly inside sql server management studio rather than outside tools??
Cons
  • Some problems

Excellent tool for performing data transformation

Easy to use interface with various connectors available in it like oracle connector etc.Easy to get help from support team when required. Good dashboard reports are provided which helps us in quick decision making process. No UI issues faced so far but we have recently started using this product as well hence not much feedbacks about same yet. We need such kind of tools where all our queries related to databases can be solved easily by just one click without any manual intervention. This has…

Pros
  • Interface is very simple, user friendly & helpful for querying data directly into excel sheets or csv files.No coding experience necessary at least till now.User's guide documentation provides basic knowledge what each tab contains alongwith their usage purpose also..etc.,Also they provide video tutorials online too..which make learning easier
Cons
  • Priced way higher (as per current market) comparing similar
