Business Intelligence Software BuyerView | 2014

This report outlines the trends that were uncovered after analyzing interactions with prospective Business Intelligence (BI) buyers.

Ironic that a site aiming to help "create intelligent businesses" uses the least intelligent choice of visualizing data. We can only hope that the data itself is more sound and their readers are as skeptical as we are...

The new Microsoft Office really throws the feces

A new computer forced me to reinstall MS Office and the only version was 2013. Not only was I required to create a "Microsoft" account, and strongly encouraged to sync everything to their servers online.

Alteryx displays 1990's like horsepower

As if calling yourself 'Data Artisans' and charging for a bloated product was not bad enough, the idiocracy at alteryx also wants to punch you in the face with this 3D, gradated, over-saturated pie chart. It boggles the mind how companies like this have any credibility.

Domo fails again

Not sure what to call this (spiked pie of death perhaps?) but Domo continues to impress with their stupidity in the data visualization space. I'm not sure if maybe they outsourced their marketing efforts to some chimps throwing feces at a wall of icons or if they hired them full-time. Either way it clearly states "STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT" if you care at all about communicating using data.
