Review of the latest Forrester Wave Enterprise BI platforms (q3, 2019) research

1. The Forrester Wave Enterprise BI Platforms (Q3 2019) Review

2. Enterprise BI Platforms (Client-Managed)
a.k.a On Premises
● “TIBCO Spotfire has already been a leading
provider in the market with its mature in-
memory architecture, comprehensive GUI,
and stellar augmented BI (AutoML and
conversational UI)”
● “Spotfire truly differentiates itself from the
competitors: out-of-the-box streaming
analytics capabilities”
● “Reference customers ranked the overall
product as "exceeds expectations" across
most capabilities — one of the top reference
customer feedback ratings across all vendors
evaluated”

3. Enterprise BI Platforms (Vendor-Managed)
a.k.a Cloud
● “With TIBCO Cloud Spotfire, get insights in
seconds, not minutes.”
● “Cloud Spotfire truly differentiates from
competitors: out-of-the-box streaming
analytics capabilities.”
● “One of the top reference customer
feedback across all vendors evaluated in
both Forrester Wave reports.”
● “Customers especially praised Cloud Spotfire
for its ease of use and search UI/data
discovery and exploration.”

4. Client Managed BI Platform
● Platform extensibility. Standalone read-only BI
platforms turn data into signals that are not actionable.
Therefore, in this evaluation Forrester stressed BI
platforms’ customization and extensibility capabilities.
● Translytical applications functionality.The inverse of
embedded BI — data entry and transaction
processing functionality embedded into analytical
apps. Business insights pros can use low-code app
development functionality.
● Augmented BI. Forrester defines augmented BI as
core BI capabilities (data preparation, reporting,
querying, visualization, and others) augmented with
machine learning, ML-based diagnostic and predictive
analytics, and cognitive/conversational UI.
All of the on premises and:
● Fully managed platforms. Clients can cede
control of software installation, updates,
backups, and disaster recovery (DR) to a
SaaS provider and instead concentrate on
building BI applications focused on a
business domain/solution.
● Direct access to on-premises data. Cloud-
based BI platforms must be able to connect
to and query data stored inside your
organization firewall.
● Security optimized for public cloud without
compromising control.
