	Infor Birst	QlikView
Considered Both Products	Infor Andy Olson Global Database Administrator in Information Technology at ElectroCraft (Industrial Automation, 501-1000 employees) Chose Infor Birst We preferred to have an all-in-one cloud solution that could connect to Salesforce.com and on-premise servers. I thought the combination of ETL built into a star-schema was unmatched. QlikView could do something similar, but the resulting data file was not an enterprise grade … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Infor Birst Birst was the right size for our company. The other vendors were to large and scope was to much. Incentivized Helpful? Martin Hollænder Product Consultant in Information Technology at Miralix A/S (Telecommunications, 11-50 employees) Chose Infor Birst Logi Analytics are more easy to use and to make ad hoc. How ever it did not meet our criteria regarding multi tented capabilities. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Infor Birst Birst is an end to end tool for BI. You don't have to deal with many software manufacturers. The cloud based BI in birst is very helpful which provides availability of data within a secure environment. Incentivized Helpful? Roie Shavit BI Front-end Team Leader (Hands On) in Information Technology at Credorax (Financial Services, 201-500 employees) Chose Infor Birst Value for money Birst was by far less expensive than the other tools evaluated in regards the KPIs defined Incentivized Helpful? John Laws Manager Data Services in Information Technology at Apex Supply Chain Technologies, LLC (Industrial Automation, 201-500 employees) Chose Infor Birst The ability to scale was the primary factor for our CIO's approval. The other products had solutions for scale, but Birst has the one we preferred. As an IoT company our CIO concentrates on products that will meet our requirements today and far into the future. The other … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Infor Birst Birst have the ability to pull a huge amount of data with rendering/processing of data quickly. Birst is the finest cloud based BI tool I have seen. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Infor Birst Birst stands out as having the modt complete technical stack from ETL, modeling and BI for our needs Helpful? Tim Johnson Executive Director of Business Intelligence in Corporate at Allegis Global Solutions (Staffing and Recruiting, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Infor Birst Integration with Salesforce was a big factor. Showed we could be up and running quickly. Helpful? Brett Mooberry Data Specialist in Information Technology at Samaritan Ministries International (Religious Institutions, 51-200 employees) Chose Infor Birst It came down to QlikView, Tableau, Cognos, and Birst. QlikView and Tableau were eliminated because they are simply reporting tools, and it was eventually determined that we wanted to set up a data warehouse. Birst beat Cognos because it had nicer looking reports, was much … Helpful? Timothy Humphreys Chief Operating Officer in Corporate at Crystal Clear Rx (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 1-10 employees) Chose Infor Birst QlikView - on the face, similar system design, agnostic data sources, Cognos - previous experience MS Reporting Services - fit with internal systems/tools/environment. Helpful?	Qlik David Worrell CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in Finance and Accounting at Rock Solid Finance (Consumer Goods, 51-200 employees) Chose QlikView I was forced into QV by QuickBooks -- I did not have the opportunity to evaluate it specifically against other packages. I have, however, seen Microsoft BI and BIRST --- both of which seem much more expensive (and perhaps complex) than QlikView. But I'm conjecturing a bit here. Incentivized Helpful?
