A faster, more flexible alternative to Dundas BI
If Dundas BI feels harder to price, embed, or extend as your product grows, Bold BI gives you a simpler way to build dashboards, embed analytics, and scale with confidence.
-
No Core Capacity math — flat pricing per deployment edition, no per-user or per-viewer metering
-
AI built in, not bolted on — Unified AI Agent, conversational AI, and smart narrations included
-
Deploy anywhere — Cloud, self-hosted, Docker, Kubernetes, Windows, Linux, or on-premises
Why teams look beyond Dundas BI
Every team has a different reason for evaluating a new BI platform. Which one sounds most like yours?
Pricing is hard to self-estimate.
Dundas's published rate is metered by "Core Capacity," a unit its own pricing page doesn't define, so you can't size cost without a sales conversation.
No public connector or visualization count.
Dundas describes connecting to "relational databases, web-based data, ODBC/JDBC, OLAP, etc." without a specific number to compare against.
Embedding documentation is thin.
Dundas markets its ISV licensing model at a high level, but widget-level, multi-tab, or embed-token–based JS embedding aren't publicly documented.
No public compliance page.
Security teams that pre-screen vendors before a sales call hit a dead end at dundas.com/security (checked August 2026; returns a not-found response).
AI stops at natural-language queries.
Dundas has supported NLQ commands since Version 7, but conversational AI, smart narrations, and scheduled AI insights aren't documented as available.
Uncertainty after the insightsoftware acquisition.
Dundas BI is now positioned inside insightsoftware's Logi Symphony suite, prompting some buyers to confirm the standalone roadmap before committing.
Why organizations choose Bold BI over Dundas BI
Modern analytics should help your business move faster — not create more complexity or more unknowns before a demo.
Price by edition, not by capacity unit.
Bold BI quotes a flat price per deployment edition — Cloud, Managed Private Cloud, or On-Premises — with no per-user or per-viewer fee.
AI that goes beyond query answering.
Bold BI includes a Unified AI Agent, conversational AI, smart narrations, follow-up prompt suggestions, and scheduled dashboard insights as standard.
Embedding built for engineering teams.
SDKs for React, Angular, Vue, .NET, and Blazor, plus widget-level, multi-tab, and embed-token–based JS embedding — all included in the base license.
A published compliance page.
GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, VPAT (Section 508), APAC standards, and ISO 27001, listed publicly at boldbi.com/security.
Concrete numbers you can check today.
140+ data connectors and 40+ visualization types, both published on boldbi.com.
A dedicated, independent product.
Bold BI ships as its own platform with a public roadmap, not folded into a broader suite migration.

Built for developers, ready for scale
Bold BI is designed so engineering teams can embed, white-label, and multi-tenant a full analytics experience without waiting on vendor support tickets to confirm what's possible.
-
Framework-native SDKs — React, Angular, Vue, .NET, and Blazor, so embedding fits your existing stack rather than forcing an iframe workaround
-
Full white-labeling and multi-tenancy — rebrand the entire experience and isolate tenants with row-level security, included in the base license
-
Deploy on your terms — Cloud, Managed Private Cloud, or On-Premises across Windows, Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes, including air-gapped operation and customer-managed encryption keys
-
Depth that's actually documented — widget-level embedding, multi-tab embedding, auto-refresh, and embed-token–based JS embedding are all published capabilities, not answers you have to request from sales

Moving from Dundas BI doesn't have to be complicated. Most teams rebuild their first dashboards within the trial window.
01
Connect your data sources
Point Bold BI at the same databases and cloud platforms your Dundas environment already uses. Nothing has to move.

03
Configure security and governance
Set up users, roles, SSO, and row-level permissions to match your existing policies.
04
Validate and go live
Review dashboards, test data accuracy against current reports, then start sharing trusted insights.
Analytics that wins awards and users.
Recognized by G2, TrustRadius and Visual Studio Magazine for delivering standout performance and value.
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.
Murph M.
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.

Ready to see Bold BI without a Core Capacity spreadsheet?
Dundas BI's only published rate ties cost to "Core Capacity," a compute unit its pricing page doesn't define — e.g., "8 Core Capacity – Embedded, Unlimited Viewers" at $4,738.70/month, discounted from $7,290.32/month MSRP under a stated limited-time offer. Bold BI instead quotes a flat price per deployment edition, with no per-user or per-viewer fee. Both vendors require a custom quote for your specific volume — the difference is the unit the quote is built around, and whether you can self-estimate it before a sales call.

Questions teams ask when evaluating Bold BI
Yes. Bold BI includes embedding SDKs, white-labeling, and multi-tenancy in its base license, plus AI and admin features not documented as available in Dundas BI.
Dundas's published rate is denominated in "Core Capacity" (e.g., $4,738.70/month discounted from $7,290.32/month MSRP for 8 Core Capacity), while Bold BI quotes a flat price per deployment edition with no per-user or per-viewer fee. Both require a custom quote for your specific volume.
Both offer three deployment models. Bold BI publishes edition-level detail — including air-gapped support and customer-managed keys on its On-Premises edition — at a level of detail not found on Dundas's current pages.
Bold BI includes a Unified AI Agent, conversational AI, smart narrations, follow-up prompt suggestions, and scheduled dashboard insights. Dundas has supported natural-language queries since Version 7, but these broader AI capabilities aren't documented as available.
Dundas BI is now positioned as part of insightsoftware's Logi Symphony suite. Confirm current standalone roadmap and support commitments directly with Dundas or insightsoftware if that matters to your evaluation.
Bold BI's published security page lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, VPAT (Section 508), APAC standards, and an ISO 27001 certificate. HIPAA is not listed among Bold BI's certifications on that page, so it isn't asserted here — confirm current HIPAA support directly with Bold BI for regulated workloads.
Dashboards and data connections need to be rebuilt in Bold BI's designer, since visualization definitions don't transfer between BI platforms. Bold BI offers free migration assistance and a 30-day trial to validate the rebuild before committing.
