Pros	Query performance on very large datasets is the standout theme, with reviewers reporting reports that previously took minutes returning in seconds Meaningful reduction in cloud warehouse spend because aggregates absorb query load instead of pushing it down to metered compute Works through existing BI tools via native connectors, so analysts keep using Power BI, Tableau or Excel rather than learning a new interface Strong enterprise security and governance depth: row and column-level security, RBAC, SSO, column masking and visual audit logs	Spreadsheet-like exploration Queries governed warehouse data directly Good collaboration model Useful partner and API ecosystem
Cons	Steep learning curve; effective use assumes solid grounding in multidimensional data modeling and big data environments MDX expertise is needed for advanced work, which slows down teams without prior OLAP experience Initial setup, cube design and build cycles require significant upfront investment before value is realized The admin and modeling UI is described as less intuitive than expected, and cube-scoped models can make cross-dataset exploration feel siloed	Pricing is quote-based Requires warehouse architecture User experience differs from traditional BI Governance still needs thoughtful setup
