The BI Survey Summary

Available to BI Verdict subscribers only

The data contained in this section of The BI Verdict is based on the results of The BI Survey, the world's largest independent survey of Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management (PM) users. Unlike many other surveys, it is not sponsored by any vendor.  The questions are devised entirely by Nigel Pendse and his team who act 100% free of vendor influence.

Conducted annually, The BI Survey uncovers the truth about why real-world organizations select BI products, what they do with them, and why they eventually abandon them.  It also compares the leading products on the market across a number of key criteria such as performance, scalability and vendor support.

Our Customer Verdicts and KPI Dashboards are also based on the findings of The BI Survey.
