OrgMapper vs. Workday Prism Analytics

OrgMapper is especially useful in mapping the soft-relationships within teams and organizations: communication, cooperation, knowledge sharing, and information flows.

In my organization, we mainly use Workday Prism Analytics in HR and Finance departments. It not only enables us to make data-centric decisions but also helps reduce the need for data experts since we are able to visualize data on our own through self-service analytics.

• Orgmapper has multiple modules ( with varying question sets) - this provides a range of alternatives and opportunities to engage with end clients and respond to their specific requirements/situation. Question sets can be customised - however the standard sets are very comprehensive.
• We find that the visual reports/artifacts are a very powerful medium to engage and communicate with the client about. Rich insights emerge through the conversations that stem from discussing and seeking to understand them.
• The Maven7 team are great to work with - right from discussing a particular approach to an end client's requirements...right through to reports and analytical support.

• It's web based. No need to install any desktop clients on your machine to use platfora.
• It's best suited for a big data Hadoop environment. I can rate it as the #1 BI tool for a big data hadoop environment.
• Platfora follows kind of the same architecture as Hadoop architecture like Master and Slave architecture. It scales with the data volumes.
• Querying data is very good and very fast. (Platfora Lens)
• Client presentation wise it's good. You can get different kinds of graphs.
• Platfora almost supports everything on Big Data technologies including file formats, compression etc.
• Security is not compromised and it can deal in parallel with any Hadoop distributor security implementations. Just take an example of Knox on Hortonworks, so it will deal with that and cloudera , MapR
• Its very easily understandable and for the new people who wants to try platfora, learning curve is low
• You can create your own datasets in platfora. You can store your results as a dataset in platfora and can share across

• The automated reports are OK, but I could use a bit more statistics regarding the characteristics of networks. Although the outputs are quite self-explanatory, some additional numbers could give an extra layer of insights.
• Language support: I'd be happy to see a range of additional languages added to the basic reports / outputs. Although English is widely accepted, some additional languages could boost the localised application of OrgMapper.

• Data Movement - Data needs to be moved from Hadoop to Platfora to create Platfora Lens and to do analytics.
• To support Data movement, infrastructure cost is high.
• To support data movement, network bandwidth consumption is high.
• No trial versions for companies to evaluate.

It is a very useful, innovative and interesting product. The development efforts on the part of OrgMapper staff indicate that the product will continue to improve and to help organizational networks respond to important challenges.

It helps the consultant though every stage of the implementation

OrgMapper support people seem very technically knowledgable. All of the OrgMapper staff are dedicated to learning and to further developing the OrgMapper product. Some issues are being worked on so immediate resolution was not feasible. Issues were resolved, though on one occasion it took reaching out to the CEO.

We had not found any other tool that demonstrated the power of Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) like OrgMapper.

Both are great products. The advantage of SAP Workforce Analytics is that it's widely interoperable between different APIs and databases. Having said that, Workday Prism Analytics scores much better in user-friendliness and the learning curve for the teams to start using it is very low. If Workday enhances its APIs functionality, it can compete easily with SAP Workforce Analytics.
