When it comes to data analytics and data visualization, you have options. It might be too many options for you to choose from because they all start to look the same after a while.
Is this a good BI platform? Which software is better? What’s the difference between these platforms? What is the best BI tool?
In a previous post, we presented a list of criteria to consider when choosing a data visualization tool. The same list (with a few modifications) can be used for both analytics and visualization tools.
What to consider
Though most platform capabilities will overlap (since they’re used for the same purpose), there will be differences that you or your organization will discern. This can be anything from design style and data volume to developer limits and team size. No tool is completely identical so get to know your data before assessing various platforms and software. Once you’re ready, you can consider these points:- Ease of Use
- Ease of Integration
- Software/Hardware/Operational Costs
- Required Technical Expertise
- Data Permission
- Data Preparation
- Time to Deployment
- Supported Data
- Budget
