Pulse vs KX Dash
We often get asked: What's better about Pulse than KX Dash?
Both products have happy customers so I would say it's not about one being better than the other.
Probably the exact same functionality can be implemented in either,
the main difference will be the speed and ease given what you want to achieve for your particular use-case.
- Future Proof - Pulse supports every database. Dash only supports kdb.
- Pulse is 10% the Cost. We are a small nimble organization without sales people, this means we can price Pulse lower.
- We are Open and Transparent - Pulse client code and issue backlog are public.
- Pulse is app based. Dash is document based.
Pulse can more easily let you create interactive applications.
Dash is better at allowing HTML document like layouts.
We are always happy to engage in PoCs to directly find which is best for you.

You can see below that the areas Pulse provides additional functionality it is mostly because
- KX sell those features as part of a separate product;
- fundamentally all of their technology must run and interact within the closed software stack that is kdb.
