Rapid Insight Provides Low-Cost Options for Desktop Data Transformation and Predictive Modeling

Customer Experience Matrix

Rather than go into more details, I'll just point you to the vendor's on-demand demo. Analytics also has a good online demo. The flow is set up as a sequence of icons with a drag-and-drop interface, which means users don’t have to learn a scripting language. Veera and Analytics both run in client/server or desktop configurations.

Customer Experience Matrix

It's harder to answer these questions than sit through a demo, but they’re critical to your project’s success.

LucidEra and Birst Blaze New Trails for On-Demand BI

Customer Experience Matrix

I did spend a few minutes playing with a prebuilt demo on the Web site: it’s a reasonable user interface for ad hoc analysis and building dashboard reports.
