BARC, May 2012
In-depth, informed, independent
The BI Verdict provides the most comprehensive coverage of business intelligence products available on the market today, saving you time and money by helping you to make the right decisions in your software selection process.
Subscribers gain access to three main areas of premium content:
Product Evaluations
We evaluate around 40 business intelligence products from some 20 different vendors. Our approach to product evaluation is four-pronged - designed to give the best and most complete information possible for you to decide which BI products suit your needs.
Product Reviews
Written by our team of experienced analysts, based on tests carried out in our software lab. Beginning with a vendor overview, they then discuss aspects of the product such as licensing, architecture, administration, front-ends, reporting and a general overview of the product's strengths and weaknesses.
Factbases
Delivered in easy-to-use Excel format, each factbase gives you a feature-by-feature score of the product accompanied by additional notes and commentary.
Customer verdicts
Based on the results of the world's largest and most detailed annual survey of BI users. A bullet-chart for each product enables you to quickly identify its strengths and weaknesses.
KPI dashboards
A comparison of market-leading BI products across 26 key metrics. Gain an instant overview of the most suitable solutions for your specific needs.
Market Analyses and Commentaries
A series of in-depth analyses and insightful commentaries from a vendor-neutral perspective. Our team of seasoned BI experts cover a variety of themes to give you the information you need to make your project a success. The analyses are split into sections:
1. Understanding BI — Explanations of some of the technological aspects of business intelligence tools
2. Advice to users — Tips and guidance guaranteed to improve the success of your project
3. Understanding the market — Provides an overview of the market and the flavors of BI tools available
4. Companies and strategies — Vendor strategy guides and commentaries on vendor-related news
5. Mini product reviews — Overviews of lesser-known BI products that we have tested
The BI Survey Summary
The data contained in this section of The BI Verdict is based on the results of The BI Survey, the world's largest independent survey of Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management (PM) users. Unlike many other surveys, it is not sponsored by any vendor.
Conducted annually, The BI Survey uncovers the truth about why real-world organizations select BI products, what they do with them, and why they eventually abandon them. It also compares the leading products on the market across a number of key criteria such as performance, scalability and vendor support.
Subscribers to The BI Verdict gain access to:
1. Key Findings from The BI Survey 8 - A detail-rich summary of many of the key findings from the latest edition of The BI Survey.
2. Product KPI Dashboards - A condensed yet highly informative summary showing how 23 market-leading products rate on 26 key performance indicators.
