Chose IBM Analytics Engine
We have tried the following solutions in the past and I must say they can't compare to IBM Analytics Engine:

Our data analytics team happened to try IBM Analytics just to get acquainted with it & it turned out that this tool fits our business requirement better than the one which we were using in terms of the features along with the level of support that they provide. so, choosing the …
Chose IBM Analytics Engine
IBM Analytics is a great tool and a welcome addition to your overall IBM strategy. I think in cases of tools like this, you either go with what your platform works best with or you go completely different with a 3rd party, like Snowflake. We are an Azure shop and just happened …
Chose IBM Analytics Engine
We initially wanted to go with Google BigQuery, mainly for the name recognition. However, the pricing and support structure led us to seek alternatives, which pointed us to IBM. Apache Spark was also in the running, but here IBM's domination in the industry made the choice a …

Chose IBM Analytics Engine
Our professor has worked with IBM And many major tech companies. He’d recommend us which tools to use. And comparing to Azure, IBM is more convenient to use.

Conga GridIBM Analytics Engine
Likelihood to Recommend
If a user has to perform a specific update over many records, don't use a List view... use Grid. It allows users to quickly track their work, set additional formatting preferences and avoid constantly tracking work outside of Salesforce which leads data discrepencies and errors.

Support Rating
In general, Conga is a strong company with a depth of talent in its support team. However, when new releases occur, the changes can be somewhat jarring to users as the interface does not offer the ability to hide or show messages related to the changes - all users get the same messaging from Conga around changes to their tool.

Return on Investment
  • It has benefited us positively, as I stated earlier- it allows us to filter down results of 65,000+ candidates to a search of 1-100 candidates.

  • It has saved us quite a bit of time managing our catalog of clusters and keeping things organized.
  • Since we had a division we acquired running IBM Cloud, it was easy to get it running and try it out, but we found we prefer our Azure configuration better simply to keep our technology in alignment across corporate functions.
  • I definitely see some cost savings by separating out the storage and compute. It helps you start to put an appropriate price tag on certain instances of big data.
