Surveys of Vendors' Customers Showcased in Gartner's Reports
Wondering how popular analysis and business intelligence platforms fare? Read two new reports from Gartner, the world's leading technology consultancy. Based on surveys of customers from over 20 different software platforms, these reports take an in-depth look at functionality and customer satisfaction.
- "BI Platfrms User Survey, 2010: Customers Rate Their BI Platform Vendors" by Rita L. Sallam, February 5, 2010
- "BI Platforms User Survey, 2010: Customers Rate their BI Platform Functionality" by Rita L. Sallam, February 5, 2010
Tableau Evaluated Based on Customer Survey Feedback
The survey asked about reporting, ad hoc analysis, dashboards, scorecards and predictive analytics. The bars show the percentage of customers using the software for each function and the total of all those percentages for each vendor (which therefore exceeds 100%).
The longer the bar, the more analytical use customers reported for the vendor. Tableau Software is the last bar on the graph.
