Vendor Landscape: Enterprise BI
Before you can make the right data-driven decisions, you need to select the right BI tool.
- Organizations must decide which Business Intelligence (BI) offering will best facilitate the insight-driven decisions that will drive measurable improvements to performance.
- Be certain to choose the enterprise BI vendor that has a strong focus on the functionality your organization is looking to adopt and manage.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- SAS emerged as a champion in this assessment due to its differentiating capabilities in the area of advanced analytics, especially predictive.
- Many other vendors in the space deliver exceptionally well in basic areas like data visualization and data management, while others focus on low friction integration and architecture. Carefully assess the value of each aspect of a solution and don’t be lured into choosing the wrong solution by extra features.
- Self-serve is no longer a significant differentiator.
- Where basic features do not offer enough distinction amongst solution candidates, look to advanced features that are critical to your specific use case, such as collaboration, big data integration, or social analytics.
