Modern business intelligence and data analysis platforms based on cloud deployment (it seems that only applications on the cloud and data localization trend in China) are gradually occupying the mainstream market. As the market changes in ease of use and augmented analytics, data and analytics leaders are gradually upgrading traditional solutions or expanding new BI products.
Now there are many BI software on the market that provide integrated services such as consulting, solutions, product purchase and after-sales technical support, allowing you to easily play with BI products.
Click
Qlik provides data discovery, agile analysis and business intelligence through its main product Qlik Sense. Qlik Analytics Platform supports developers to create custom applications and embedded use cases. QlikView continues to be enhanced and developed in parallel with Qlik Sense's two product lines. In recent years, Qlik has deliberately focused on Qlik Sense. Sense has gradually become Qlik’s most important business intelligence and analysis product. Its license revenue has increased year by year, reaching More than 50% of Qlik's total license income.
Qlik can always stay in the ranks of industry leaders, thanks to its continuous improvement in enhanced analysis, marketing strategy improvement and ease of use. However, Qlik is slightly weaker than other industry leaders at the market execution level, mainly reflected in its relatively low growth momentum, order success rate and operational performance.

Tableau provides an intuitive and interactive exploration experience based on vision. Users can easily access, prepare, analyze and display their data without having technical or programming skills. Tableau offers three main products: Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server and Tableau Online (its cloud product). Tableau has been committed to providing everyone throughout the enterprise with the ability to explore and discover data insights. It broke the market in this way and its land-and-expand sales model, which has become a basic feature of all modern analytics and BI platforms.
The reason why Tableau has always been a leader is because of its efforts to build product awareness around the world. Its product route includes NLP, enhanced data preparation and data discovery, and agile data cataloging. Maintaining a strong momentum in an increasingly competitive and price-sensitive market, continuous product improvements, and a good customer experience have contributed to its leadership position.
Microsoft
As an independent product, Microsoft Power BI provides a series of BI platform functions from data preparation to data discovery, interactive dashboards and enhanced analysis. It can be provided as a SaaS service running in the Azure cloud, or Power BI Report Server can be deployed locally. Server allows users to share reports (but not dashboards) and lacks some of the machine learning functions in SAAS. Power BI Desktop can be used as a basic analysis tool for individual users for free, and it can also satisfy advanced users to create complex data mashups in local data sources.
As one of the lowest-priced BI solutions on the market today, Power BI has achieved sustained and strong growth in its market share in recent years. With Microsoft's clear and far-sighted product route and the extension of vertical industries, customers' attention and acceptance of Power BI have increased significantly.
Smartbi
Smartbi's functions are also very complete, including reports, reporting, and BI. This is also the standard capability of domestic products. What's different is that Smartbi's report design adopts a true "Excel" structure, which is an Excel plug-in method to develop reports. It is cheaper to learn than an Excel designer. Common operation methods and function usage are completely used in Excel. When designing a statistical graph, you can achieve true WYSIWYG. You can see the display results of the statistical graph without previewing it, which is more suitable for the layout of the statistical graph. Smartbi server deployment adopts java web application, and the server has no restrictions on the environment. The functions are relatively complete, such as complex reports, data entry, statistical graph display are supported, and now with Word and PPT plug-ins, the developed report format effect is better.
