  1. LogiXMLvs. Data Discovery vendors • Author: Patricia Quigley • BI Use Cases Beyond Visualization including: • Dashboarding, Reporting, Analysis, Alerting, and Workflow • Embeddability: • Seamlessly embed reports and dashboards into applications and portals, increasing user adoption • Strong UI integration with other web based applications • Support for traditional tabular reporting with ability to export data to PDFs, word documents, etc. • Security integration with existing security stores such as Active Directory, LDAP and others • Deploy reports/dashboards to large audiences with no user-based license fees. 

  2. LogiXML vs. Microsoft • Author: Patricia Quigley • Development Effort: • Unique “Elemental Design” allows you to rapidly build sophisticated BI applications without writing code • Unified Platform: • Built entirely on a single technology base, not separate products/technologies • Data Access: • Report on data from any data source or data model • Workflow: • Completely integrated scheduling, process and alert functionality  • Browser Neutrality: • Works on any web browser • BI Delivery and Interactivity: • 100% browser based BI delivery with wide range of interactive charts & reports

  3. LogiXMLvs. Dundas & Xcelsius Author: Patricia Quigley Dundas: • BI Use Cases beyond dashboarding including:  Reporting, Analysis, Alerting, and Workflow • Support for traditional tabular reporting with ability to export data to PDFs, word documents, etc. Xcelsius: • Deploy reports/dashboards to large audiences with no user-based license fees, highly scalable Both: • Write-back to operation data stores • Connectivity to any data source with realtime data access, no reliance on data warehouse or meta data layer • Embeddability: Seamlessly embed reports and dashboards into applications and portals, increasing user adoption • Mobile Support –  can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices w/o writing additional code, including iPads, tablets, iPhones, Droids • Security integration with existing security stores such as Active Directory, LDAP and others

  4. INetSoftware Author: John Hight • I know this company (inetsoftware.de) - have worked with their CEO, TorstenKlose. • They started out in the JDBC driver business.  • Then grew into BI by targeting Crystal Reports customers with a Java based solution (initially, cleverly named Crystal Clear Reports, now simply i-net Clear Reports).  • They now have a .NET version of Clear Reports, as well. • Potentially weaknesses • They are a relatively, small company.  • Less than 20 the last time I spoke with Torsten. • When I last checked, they only offer German business hour support via email. • But, they are very responsive (based on past experience) • If you are talking to a .NET shop, you can throw the reverse FUD that Java shops throw at us • They are cheap (https://www.inetsoftware.de/store) .  You buy in the web store on credit card.   • They have no real sales team outside of Torsten.  • Which could also create a lack of support

  5. InetSoft A brief summary: Author Tawnya Johnson • Potential Strengths • They may be more attractive to Java shops because of the architecture • If data integration is required,  they will be stronger than Logi • Great self-service capabilities than Ad-Hoc • Potential Weaknesses • Pricing and Packaging…not just price level but look at all the different components that they offer that you may be forced to buy (see yellow box below) • No mobile support • Too many different development environments/tools to learn…we just have one…Studio • They don’t have an ETL product

  6. BirstSWOT • Break Down from a customer call: Author Brett McKinnon • Strength • Filters for Mulit-Tenant/ Roles etc. • Over all look and feel is good • Chart interactivity • Just received 26M in VC funds • Weakness • Nothing like the Analysis Grid (or the sales rep got lazy) • Flash for mobile reports • Pricing Options • Concurrent user pricing • Named user license • Subscription deals in one-year increments, month-to-month
