Gartner, Inc. recently examined the most critical capabilities that enterprises should consider when selecting a business intelligence platform vendor in its report, “Critical Capabilities for Business Intelligence Platform Integration.”
After rating 13 platform products against a predefined set of criteria, TIBCO Spotfire garnered a score of 4.3 out of 5.0. This score was based on eight critical capability areas that factored into overall product viability. The Critical Capabilities report is a comparative analysis which scores competing products against a set of critical differentiators identified by Gartner.
These eight criteria for business intelligence platform integration are:
1) Common authoring tools
2) Consistent UI across tools
3) Common delivery
4) Data lineage and impact analysis
5) Extended business intelligence capabilities integration
6) Common security
7) Common administration and infrastructure
8) Common metadata
