1、Tableau
The magic square chart called Agile BI is located in the leader quadrant all the year round, with refreshing interface, powerful functions and worthy of the name. Drag the data into the relevant area, and draw automatically, with rich graphic display and good interactivity. The graphic customization function is powerful, which can flexibly set various graphic parameter configurations and user-defined settings, and has strong data processing and calculation capabilities, and good visual analysis and interactive analysis experience. It is indeed a powerful and comprehensive data visualization analysis tool. The new version also integrates many advanced analysis functions, and the analysis is more powerful. However, based on the logic of charts, dashboards and story reports, it is very troublesome to complete a complex business report with a large number of charts and dashboards. The PPT report to the leader needs to be shot one by one and then put into PPT. As a data analysis tool, it is qualified, but it has some limitations in enterprise-level application reports.
2、PowerBI
PowerBI is a tool launched by Gates, and we are very excited to try it out. It is completely different from Tableau's operation logic, and it is more in line with the needs of our ordinary data analysis. The operation is similar to Excel and PPT, and the functional modules are clearly divided. Getting started is really super fast, and the graphics are rich and flexible. But to be honest, after all, it has just been launched, there are many system bugs, and the function of visual analysis is relatively simple. Although there are many complex data processing functions, you need to have a deep understanding and application of Excel functions, so you need a certain foundation to support complex business analysis. However, the version is updated quickly, so you can wait for the new version.
3、Qlik
QlikView, a data visualization analysis tool with the same name as Tableau, also enjoys a high reputation in the industry. However, Qlik Seanse product series has been widely promoted and applied in the mainland market. Really clean, simple interface, clear process, simple operation and good interactivity. It's really a good BI tool. However, it does not support deep data analysis, and the functions of graphic calculation and deep calculation are missing, which cannot meet the needs of complex business analysis.
Finally, focus on China. At present, there are many good search rankings and marketing, such as Yonghong BI, Navigation Soft BI and BDP. But after personal feelings, the overall publicity is greater than reality.
4. Bi Yonghong
Yonghong BI function should be relatively perfect, and it is also a drag-and-drop diagram, which is somewhat similar to Tableau's logic, but the function is not a little worse than Tableau's, but the operation difficulty is actually more difficult than Tableau's. The predefined analysis function is rich, and the chart function and flexibility are great, but the operation is not friendly enough. Advanced analysis was used to promote the data mining function, and later it was found that several open source algorithms were integrated, and the function was very simple. In the process of operation, a lot of incomprehensible pop-up boxes and configuration items really make people dizzy. A simple stacked column diagram has been studied for a long time and can only be completed by watching help and videos. Alas, I just sigh that the function is hidden too deeply and I don't want to give it to people.
5, sail soft Bi
In addition, sailing soft BI, the FBI, is familiar to many people in China, and its function is really good, but the BI tool is really average. It can only be simply plotted and used with report tools, which can make the page look better, but compared with other visual analysis and BI tools, the function is still relatively simple, the analysis ability is insufficient, and the function is still relatively simple. Sailsoft is really famous, claiming to be the first in the industry, but it is mainly at the report level, and the data visualization analysis is relatively lacking.
6. Rhythm
Another tool, the full name of which is "Tempo Big Data Analysis Platform", has little publicity and was inadvertently seen after the release of the Gartner report in 20 17. It is a B/S framework tool. It is convenient to apply for a trial. After filling in the information, I will let my sister open an account, tell you some precautions, and the online Q&A service is in place ~
The first time I tried, I was puzzled. I don't know what to order! However, after a few attempts, the operation became more and more smooth. The same drag-and-drop operation, rich data visualization effect, supports many convenient calculations, and meets common business analysis. The most surprising thing is that it also supports PPT, PDF and PNG export of visual reports, which completely solves the problem of output and reporting of analysis results. After in-depth understanding, it is found that their core is actually "data mining", and the algorithm is very rich, which is also a drag and drop operation. I, a liberal arts analyst, actually made a process of data prediction and mining according to the guidance and explanation. Don't be too surprised, it's very fulfilling. After mastering the basic operation logic of Tempo, I found that its usability is really good, and its function integrity and richness are also very good. However, there is little publicity, and it is a low-key platform.
After the trial of many products, I personally feel that no matter what the function of the tool is, it needs a certain learning cost, because data analysis is a professional field after all, and each tool has its own design logic and operation mode, but it is difficult and easy! When choosing tools, you need to summarize and compare them according to your actual business needs. You can apply for a trial!
