Platfora

The best part about this tool is that it can handle big volumes of big data and easily derive insights and solutions. Discover enormous amount of raw data that most business intelligence platforms fail to detect. Dish out questions without worrying about having IT and coding knowledge. Faster processing time allows you to extract insights without compromising speed. You get your business data insights in a short amount of time, not weeks or months.

Though there are nothing much to dislike with this tool, the efficiency when it comes to information resources on how to use the tool is lacking. It’s hard to manipulate or navigate the tools without enough knowledge and trainings about the product especially for a non-tech user. If there might be a book about this product or a virtual community gatherings where queries are being asked and answered so that non-tech users will be able to learn.

This is good for small to mid-size companies. That is because Platfora allows business users to access large volumes of complex data with relative ease, and with very low latency. It solves the long standing problem of giving business users a platform that can make sense of data, which in its raw form, is not particularly amenable to analysis. Platfora uses the Hadoop distributed file system as a data store, ingesting data from transaction based systems, devices, external data feeds, and so on.
