#### Methodology: How We Score Products

 Here's how our rankings work.

##### How we collect the data

* **Selecting products to score:** We define the category scope, including what features should be included for this type of software. Our analysts identify all products that fit the defined scope, then narrow down to 15 based on market presence, user ratings, feature comprehensiveness, and category fit.
* **Default scoring process:** Our analysts complete a 100+ question RFI for each product using publicly available data from user reviews, product demos, documentation, vendor websites, and case studies.
* **Verification program:** Vendors can pay for our analyst-led verification service. Their product team submits responses to our standard category RFI, which our analysts then independently review and validate.

**Note:** Vendors can't pay to rank or influence their position on our leaderboards. Our scoring criteria is the same for all products, whether a vendor partners with us or not.

[ ![Ritinder Kaur](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/cropped-Ritinder-Kaur-v2-1-96x96.png) Written By Ritinder Kaur, Senior Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/ritinder-kaur/)

In online reviews, Spotfire emerges as a user-friendly big data platform. Most users found data exploration easy with a drag-and-drop interface. Some users said the UI was dated, though, and said it could use a revamp. Most users praised its interactive visualizations and dashboards, saying they helped them interpret data better. But, a few said they would love to have more visuals to choose from. 

[Keysight Technologies](https://www.spotfire.com/customers/keysight-technologies) saved their client a lot of headaches by pinpointing why their equipment was failing much before the expected date — prolonged usage beyond the prescribed duration. Quicker data loads with Spotfire meant fast reporting, which helped spot the issue in no time.

A user mentioned they did the calculations in Excel and imported them into Spotfire for visualization. It’s a common scenario when a steep learning curve slows down adoption, and teams fall back on Excel. In my opinion, attempting to replace Excel would be asking too much of your teams, no matter what software you plan to use, and using a combination of the two would help ease the transition.

Most users said Spotfire takes time to learn. You might have to opt for a balance of multiple platforms to balance your departmental and enterprise needs. 

Spotfire surpasses Excel in data management, especially data prep. Customizable visualizations and custom Mods give you enough freedom to work within the platform.

Though 72% of reviewers were happy with the integrations, Spotfire lacks some standard connectors, such as for Apache Kafka, forcing users to rely on workarounds.

A majority of users found its pricing structure complex, especially as users increased. In such cases, organizations often tend to opt for a cheaper alternative for less advanced use cases while using the pricier platform for the critical ones. We advise doing a deep dive into the vendor's pricing plans to avoid making your tech stack top-heavy.

[ ![Ritinder Kaur](https://www.selecthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/cropped-Ritinder-Kaur-v2-1-96x96.png) Written By Ritinder Kaur, Senior Technical Content Writer ](https://www.selecthub.com/author/ritinder-kaur/)

Oracle Analytics Cloud is among the vendor’s many data services, including a business intelligence suite and a data intelligence platform. Besides, Oracle offers bespoke solutions for HCM, supply chain and customer experience. What differentiates Oracle Analytics is that extra dash of augmented capabilities.

  
Embedded BI is where it truly shines, giving you natural language insights with a single click. This feature extends to its mobile app, and it outperforms many leading platforms with natural language queries and podcasts on mobile.

  
If you’re worried about data silos slowing operations, you can say goodbye to them with this platform. Here’s a real-world example showing how Oracle Analytics expertly consolidates data. Oracle reports that one [data science company](https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/oracle-roi-case-study-data-science.pdf) saved over €5,000,000 in legacy system costs and achieved an annual ROI of 48% after migrating to Oracle Analytics and the Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence platform.

  
According to our researchers, Oracle Analytics Cloud has fewer out-of-the-box features than its competitors, such as Power BI and Qlik Sense. Plus, licensing becomes complex when combining the database, middleware and analytics applications.

  
It’s common for large vendors to offer specialized platforms, but the downside is that they can be out of reach of small organizations. But there’s a silver lining. Many vendors offer customized solutions, so we advise reaching out to the vendor for quotes.

  
Users appreciate its regular updates, but some report initial bugs due to its relative newness. Despite a positive user experience, the learning curve can be steep. Some users found technical support slow and inadequate, as did I. They took two business days to get back to me when I needed assistance with my account.

  
Oracle Analytics, though a robust platform, is suitable for mid- and large organizations. If you seek a powerful, scalable platform, consider opting for a trial, but be prepared for sticker shock, especially if you’re new to the Oracle ecosystem.

* **Deployment:** Install and run anywhere, including as a hybrid solution. Scale the instance depending on your workload — deploy OCPUs in multiples of two, extending up to 52\. Or pause it when idle. Though identity management is available, there is the option to use one’s own SSO provider. Admins can set user, group and role-based permissions.
* **Direct Query:** Oracle Analytics Cloud uses live queries and data caching to fetch responses. Each has its downside. Live connections are heavier on the system, and you might have to compromise on data freshness with data caching. A combination of both might be best. Consider live queries for critical KPIs and data caching for less frequent queries.
* **Data Preparation:** Enrich data from the interface — get data quality insights as you work. Remove the grunt work — create reusable flows for transforming data you can test, share and schedule. Add custom calculations or write regular expressions in the dataset editor.
* **Semantic Data Modeling:** Engage business, dev and data teams in meaningful discussions. Give them data views with a presentation layer that simplifies metrics. Hide the physical data structure with a logical one that speaks the business language. Give stakeholders the power to explore data independently.
* **AI/ML:** Boost productivity with embedded machine learning and natural language insights every step of the way. Display quick forecasts, trend lines and clusters from a popup menu with one click. View the basic facts, key drivers and anomalies with the Explain option. Hit the ground running with recommendations on dimensions, measures and attributes to use when you don’t know where to start.

SAC acts as a hub for your myriad SAP modules, pulling together business planning and consolidation, finance, ERP and supply chain management. While all these SAP products are giants in their own right, SAC gives you, the user, a unified platform to make sense of your data with in-app data modeling and analytics.

I spent time working with SAP analytics with the 30-day trial, which includes access to SAP Datasphere (formerly SAP Data Warehouse), and while the back-end capabilities are there, I hit snags early. The AI assistant built into Datasphere couldn’t launch any tutorials, and I had to fall back on YouTube just to understand basic tasks. This wasn’t a one-off — the native help content repeatedly broke, leaving the first mile experience more frustrating than it should’ve been.

Once inside, I found the data integration impressive. You can pull from Excel, CSV and even Google Sheets. Performance was solid when working with SAP data, but I noticed sluggishness even with smaller file uploads, suggesting scale may become a bottleneck outside the SAP ecosystem. That matches what around 85% of enterprise users have reported in reviews.

Most users who reviewed data integration said the tool handles large amounts of data seamlessly, and SAP scores a perfect 100 in our analysis for data management, at par with [MicroStrategy](https://www.selecthub.com/p/business-intelligence-tools/microstrategy/) and [Power BI](https://www.selecthub.com/p/business-intelligence-tools/power-bi/).

Lacking a data dictionary, the platform allows you to manage source metadata within your projects. This could be why some reviews wished for greater versatility in data modeling.

Many users who reviewed visualization appreciated the platform for its rich graphics libraries and templates, and I agree. In our analysis, SAP Analytics Cloud earned a score of 100 for dashboarding and data visualization. In this aspect, it leaves behind stalwarts like Power BI and [Oracle Analytics Cloud](https://www.selecthub.com/p/business-intelligence-tools/oracle-analytics-cloud/). Reviewing functionality, most people liked its versatility and scalability. 

Its predictive and augmented analysis capabilities had many fans among reviewers, with most praising the platform for strong planning and business analytics. Our analysts give SAP Analytics a 93 score for reporting insights, alerts, auto-scheduling and natural language results.

As an example, [Juniper Networks](https://www.sap.com/asset/dynamic/2024/09/3065d015-d87e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b.html?video=3c672d75-d67e-0010-bca6-c68f7e60039b), an AI-driven networking platform, eliminated 100% of its manual planning, budgeting and forecasting in Excel by moving to data modeling in SAP Analytics Cloud.

But quite a few people said there’s scope for improvement in live data analytics. Around 85% of reviewers discussing performance said it struggles at the enterprise level and when offline, though quite a few noted that it performs exceedingly well within the SAP ecosystem.

Overall, SAP Analytics Cloud is for organizations already locked into the SAP ecosystem, especially if you’re looking for a financial planning and consolidation tool. If you’re looking for a BI and predictive analytics tool, there are better options.

### Deployment Methods

Would you prefer to deploy on-premise or move to the cloud? Or would a hybrid solution work better, considering your legacy infrastructure?

#### On-premise

Installing on local infrastructure means you pay once for the cost of ownership. Plus, internet connectivity isn’t a deal-breaker when the software is in-house. You have complete control with full autonomy to plan maintenance, downtimes and upgrades. You can buy more storage when needed.

But setup and maintenance don’t come cheap. Scaling can be a pain, and the cost of technical resources for upgrades and patches adds to your overhead.

#### Cloud-based

Cloud software vendors offer flexible subscription plans with the option to pick and choose features, like the number of licenses and storage capacity. Managed analysis tools make you worry-free as the vendor handles upgrades and fixes.

Information security is a primary enterprise concern when considering cloud-based software tools. But not to worry, all leading vendors provide encryption and authorization protocols.

But, slow internet can cause latency issues and performance lag. Besides, a periodic subscription might be less than the cost of owning the software, but costs can pile on fast when opting for additional licenses, add-ons and upgrades.

#### Hybrid

A hybrid solution combines the benefits of information security with the perks of the cloud. Hybrid analytics solutions maintain consistent performance, scaling with larger workloads.

Pay-as-you-go plans are available, though at slightly higher prices than the cost of a public cloud. They prove viable for companies with fluctuating workloads.

Whatever your preferred deployment method, whether the software integrates with your existing software and hardware systems can be a deal-breaker.

So, which model fits you best?

A SaaS analytics solution might be a good fit for small businesses with limited infrastructure and IT resources. Larger enterprises can afford greater control over their information, so they might find on-premise or hybrid solutions appealing.

However, these aren’t set-in-stone rules, so consider your business’ unique situation when choosing a deployment method.

### Primary Benefits

With big data tools, you can pivot with fluctuating market trends by realigning strategies and redesigning campaigns. In the process, you can look closely at your business’ performance to identify inefficiencies and successes.

Let’s see how.

![Benefits of Big Data Analytics Software]()

#### Maximize Your ROI

Customer feedback and operational performance metrics help downstream [inventory](https://www.selecthub.com/category/inventory-management/), [supply chain](https://www.selecthub.com/category/supply-chain-management/) and [workforce management](https://www.selecthub.com/category/hris/workforce-management/) processes. You come closer to identifying what customers want and can realign internal processes accordingly. It saves a lot of heartburn later trying to catch up with the competition.

You can boost revenue by consistently delivering to buyers, which helps establish a reputation as a serious player in the market. Analytics tools enable you to base your business strategy on hardcore metrics, irrespective of their volume and type.

#### Innovate

Big data analytics drives innovation by providing easy access to hidden insight through self-service methods like [natural language processing](https://www.xrtoday.com/virtual-reality/what-is-natural-language-processing-nlp/). Data democratization increases the chances of finding previously undiscovered correlations between metrics.

Big data means more comprehensive information — and harnessing it gives a clearer picture of what’s working and not. This insight into the business’s strengths and weaknesses can help you decide which new products to launch and whether it’s the right time to diversify.

#### Improve Customer Experience

Customer service calls, chats, surveys, and social media comments and impressions drive the consumer experience. Big data software can capture this information to provide clear and current market insight.

Was the setup process intuitive, and did the customers find the help documentation useful? Were they able to generate the desired reports? For consumer products, the feedback could range from a star-based rating to text-based comments about whether the buyer would recommend the product to others.

Customer feedback is the linchpin around which you arrange your service or product design. It's how you build and retain a customer base and acquire new buyers.

#### Manage Risk

All business decision-making involves risk, especially when diversifying or growing your business. Risk management identifies and assesses these potential blockers and reduces their adverse impact through mitigation and monitoring. Big data combined with analytics systems can highlight hurdles in your business journey, reducing decision-making uncertainty.

Its applications include [vendor risk management](https://tipalti.com/resources/learn/vendor-risk-management/), money laundering, fraud prevention, credit risk assessment and identifying customer churn.

![Big Data Analytics Trends]()

#### IoT Will Raise the Bar for [Data Management](https://www.selecthub.com/big-data-analytics/data-management/) 

Due to the growth in machine learning, AI and [IoT analytics](https://www.selecthub.com/business-intelligence/analytics-behind-iot/), there is an upsurge/increase in the number of connected devices like machine sensors. Statista predicts that [IoT-connected devices](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1183457/iot-connected-devices-worldwide/) will grow to 29 billion by 2030.

IoT is in use in all industries like gas, steam, water supply and waste management utility companies, among others. According to Statista (linked above), consumer companies like retail, manufacturing, real estate and healthcare accounted for 60 percent of all IoT-connected devices in 2020.

IoT big data differs from traditional IoT as it needs more agile, scalable platforms, flexible storage and robust analytical tools than conventional infrastructure. Managing this information securely and providing transparency to users and regulatory bodies will be challenging for enterprises going ahead.

#### [Edge Computing](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/what-is-edge-computing) and AI Will Drive Security Standards

Edge computing refers to information processing at or near the source, which lightens the workload burden on servers and networks. Edge devices like smartphones, autonomous vehicles and [smart grids](https://www.makeuseof.com/what-is-smart-grid-what-benefits-does-it-bring/) add to the already ballooning information online.

Edge computing raises logistical challenges like migrating network security protocols and complying with privacy and governance regulations. The [secure access service edge (SASE) framework](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/security-101/what-is-sase) is a network protection protocol for information processed in edge devices. But it's new and needs to become mainstream to have a large-scale impact on information security.

IoT and machine learning are a formidable combination. With edge devices added to the mix, secure data access and governance compliance will be the next challenge for businesses.

#### Information Sharing Will Fuel Industry Verticals and Consumer Markets

Previous privacy protocols restricted sharing of consumer information with third parties. But, CEOs realize that siloed information benefits only a select few, while shared information helps everyone. Decrypting shared information isn’t even an issue now that processing is possible on encrypted sets.

Data marketplaces monetize information sharing with subscription-based licensing, offering connectivity through the [data fabric](https://www.talend.com/resources/what-is-data-fabric). They build separate databases with on-demand connectivity for entities willing to store and share their digital assets.

With [data sharing promising to be a trend next year](https://www.selecthub.com/business-analytics/business-analytics-trends/) and beyond, big data in verticals is a commodity that adds to enterprises’ bottom line. Big data analytics tools with open architectures will be in demand.

#### Augmented Insights Will Be a Primary Business Requirement

Verified Market Research predicts the [augmented analytics industry](https://www.verifiedmarketresearch.com/product/augmented-analytics-market/) will be worth $66.61 billion by 2030\. The increase in information volumes and complexity drives the need for self-service BI and analytics, which drives augmented tech.

The software sector is the largest consumer of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. Modern big data analytics software with machine learning speeds up information discovery through model building, clustering and regression techniques. Automation support is a primary advantage of augmented technologies.

Augmented analytics is a primary requirement for many enterprises when buying software. It’ll be interesting to see how it evolves in tandem with regulatory and data quality concerns.
