Business Intelligence Tools Selection



Apart from the standard resources listed below, we published a few free articles with comparisons of the leading Business Intelligence platforms.
Basically there are a few meaningful business intelligence platforms in the market now. If they weren't good enough, they wouldn't find so many followers, therefore it's impossible to write a fully objective comparison. So in some points the reviews might be a bit subjective and this is not because we like IBM more than SAP or Oracle more than IBM, it is just the outcome of our professional experience.

Please have in mind that the authors of this portal are not endorsed by or affiliated with SAP, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft and any other vendor listed or described on the pages of our portal.
