I recently read this Gartner report which identifies Power BI as the Business Intelligence leader above Tableau, Qlik, Domo and ThoughtSpot based on:
- Agile, centralized BI provisioning
- Decentralized analytics
- Governed data discovery
- Embedded analytics
- Extranet deployment
I found their deeper focus on various data source connectivity options, data storage and loading, augmented data discovery, natural language query, mobile and sharing to be spot on with what I find in the field.
What surprised me is iDashboards didn’t make the study and Domo is classified as a niche player.
Finally, the Identified strengths of Power BI:
- Low price with positive sales experience
- Ease of use for complex types of analysis
- Comprehensive product vision
