SAP Business Objects
SAP Business Objects is a business intelligence software which offers comprehensive reporting, analysis and interactive data visualisation. The platform focuses heavily on categories such as Customer Experience (CX) and CRM, digital supply chain, ERP and more. What’s really nice about this platform is the self-service, role-based dashboards its offers enabling users to build their own dashboards and applications. SAP is a robust software intended for all roles (IT, end uses and management) and offers tons of functionalities in one platform. The complexity of the product, however, does drive up the price so be prepared for that.

MicroStrategy
MicroStrategy is an enterprise business intelligence tool that offers powerful (and high speed) dashboarding and data analytics, cloud solutions and hyperintelligence. With this solution, users can identify trends, recognise new opportunities, improve productivity and more. Users can also connect to one or various sources, whether the incoming data is from a spreadsheet, cloud-based or enterprise data software. It can be accessed from your desktop or via mobile. Setup, however can involve multiple parties and some rather extensive knowledge of the application in order to get started.
CLEAR ANALYTICS
Clear Analytics is a tool that consolidates data from internal systems, cloud, accounting, CRM, and allows you to drag-and-drop that data into Excel. It works with Microsoft Power BI, using Power Query and Power Pivot to clean and model different datasets. Capterra gives a high user review of 4.5 stars making this tool also one of the highest-rated on our list.
KEY FEATURES:
Reports delivered to Power BI: It delivers self-service ad hoc reporting directly to Power BI, hence enabling non-technical users to explore data stored in databases with their drag-and-drop interface and dynamic query designer.
Connected with Excel: It bolts right into Excel, where you can specify end users’ viewing rights based on a user or role level, and manipulate formulas freely, whether you need to perform basic or advanced analysis.
Sharing on mobile devices: You can use Power BI features such as Power Maps, Pivot and Desktop, where you can share your insights also to mobile devices, including iWatch.
A full audit trail: They offer a full audit trail that enables you to know where the data came from, what filters were applied, who ran the report, and when the data was extracted.
Fetch data elements with a semantic layer: A semantic layer will enable you to fetch data elements and organize them with modeling, visualizing, and transforming data to generate needed insights.
SHORTCOMINGS:
This software is based on Excel, meaning spreadsheets are the backbone of their solution which might not be the best and sustainable option for the future.
DOMO
Domo is a BI solution comprised of multiple systems that are featured in this platform, starting with connecting the data, and finishing with extending data with pre-built and custom apps from the Domo Appstore.

Similar to other tools, you can connect the data across your enterprise, utilize their machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities while enabling users to explore the data on their own. With a firm 4.2 stars rating on Capterra, this BI platform is also recommended by many users across the world, despite the fact that the company is one of the younger on our list – founded in 2011.
KEY FEATURES:
Numerous pre-built cloud connectors: Data integration works similarly to other tools, as mentioned; you can connect to more than 1000 pre-built cloud connectors, on-premise with Domo Workbench, file upload such as Excel or Google Docs, proprietary systems, and federated connectors that will enable you to query the data where it’s hosted.
Magic ETL feature: Data transformation tools will enable you to prepare your data with a drag-and-drop Magic ETL, as Domo calls it, without the need to learn SQL.
Automatically suggested visualizations: Data visualization enables you to go from raw data to charts, graphs, maps, and other visualizations which are suggested automatically by Domo after you upload your data source. You can refine the data, annotate for further commentary or discussions, or refine and control who has access to it.
Mr. Roboto as an AI engine: Predictive analysis is powered with Mr. Roboto, Domo’s AI engine, that enables data scientists to create predictive models and utilize artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and other AI technologies that alert and notify about changes in KPIs, for example.
Domo Appstore: Their open cloud platform is an ecosystem of pre-built apps, connector APIs and dashboards, giving you also the possibility to build your own and share it on the Domo Appstore.
SHORTCOMINGS:
Domo is not built for newcomers as the learning curve can be steep, but they do offer trainings, therefore, be prepared to learn. Their pricing models are not transparent, but you can assume it’s the most expensive solution on our list, according to the available information on the web.
