  • 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

Cons
  • Technical Deadlines Often Missed: On several occasions during data onboarding, or applying fixes to data, communicated deadlines were missed by 24-48 hours.
  • Security can be convoluted, but is effective.
  • Built on Flash and the only native mobile apps are for iPad (iPhone forthcoming).

  • 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.

Usability
Visier People makes it very easy for all end users to go in and see, pull, or dig in to their data where previously my team would have to pull or schedule a report of the data to each user. It is also very fast in updating charts/analyses when changing or adding filters, which makes the ease of use better. Last, the charts and analyses are very visually appeasing, making users want to use the platform more.

Implementation Rating
Visier can move as quickly or as slowly as the client needs. The topic-by-topic approach separates the project in clear phases and allows for focus on specific data. Depending on the size of the implementation team, implementation could move more rapidly if the subject matter experts are responsible for the individual topic data sets.

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.
