One, Birst
Birst bills itself as an enterprise BI with amazing data discovery speed. The Birst architecture connects the entire organization through a network of virtualized BI instances intertwined on a shared public analysis structure. It has a multi-tenant architecture and can be deployed as a virtual device in a public cloud, AWS or local environment.
According to Gartner's data, three-quarters of Birst's reference customers stated that this is their only analysis and BI corporate standard, and 98% of Birst's reference customers expect to continue to use the product. Incredibly, both of these results are supported by users. On the other hand, Gartner reports that most of Birst's reference customers mainly use the product for parameterized dashboards and reports, and only a small percentage of customers use the product for more complex analysis tasks. The product supports complex data models.
Second, Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is a set of business analysis tools mainly running on Azure, which can connect to hundreds of data sources, simplify data preparation, and drive point-to-point analysis. It is also one of the lowest cost BI solutions on the market. Power BI Pro is a free Windows desktop analysis tool and free mobile viewing application. The monthly price per user is $9.99. Power BI Premium is a virtual server. Depending on the capacity, its price starts from $4,995 per month. It does not require a designated user license. It includes the Power BI Report server and can be run locally.
Power BI scores high in terms of ease of use, but Gartner's data shows that Power BI ranks in the bottom quarter in terms of use. Most of Microsoft's reference customers (59%) mainly use Power BI's parameterized reports and dashboards instead of using them for more complex tasks. The average proportion of business users who use Microsoft Power BI to write their own content is 20%, which is very low.
三 、 Table
Tableau is an analysis platform that provides powerful visual data discovery services. The basic platforms are Tableau Server (there are versions for Windows or Linux) and Tableau Online (host). Users can be creators, explorers, or viewers. The creator has a Server or Online version license, as well as Tableau Prep (data preparation) and Tableau Desktop (Windows and macOS) licenses.
Tableau also provides two free desktop applications for Windows and macOS: Tableau Public and Tableau Reader. Tableau Public can either open or create analyses that reside in your Tableau Public profile. Tableau Reader can open and interact with the data visualization files built into the Tableau desktop.

Second, Quick BI
Quick BI has 21 types of data charts such as maps, bar charts, and radar charts. It also has a unique Excel-like spreadsheet function, which not only continues the localized operation experience, but also meets the production needs of Chinese-style complex reports.
In addition to connection, analysis, and display at the basic level of data, Quick BI also has collaboration and security capabilities. Quick BI can create multiple workspaces, and the editing and access permissions of each space can be flexibly set, allowing different roles in the space to obtain permissions that match their own behavior. In the process, the privacy and security of the data were ensured, and the sharing of data and coordination of departments were also realized.
