In the era of big data analysis, a large number of big data analysis software has emerged. Nevertheless, if someone asks what the most commonly used data perspective analysis tool is today, I guess Excel should be the best choice for everyone.
But in fact, I want to say, using today’s mobile phone analogy, Excel is like the old machine, when everyone is using the new generation of “smart phone” — Smart software Smartbi, you are still using the old machine, such a comparison is almost hit by the street.
Why is Excel like an old computer?
1. Low capacity of Excel data analysis and processing, unable to transfer hundreds of thousands of pieces of data for half a day.
2. Excel is easy to get started but hard to master. Once you want to go deeper, you will find it very complicated.
3. It is difficult to beautify the charts in Excel. Even if you can beautify the charts, they are not beautiful enough.
So why is Smart Smartbi the new generation of smart phones?
Smartbi is a self-service data analysis tool that combines Excel and BI for Excel users and enables business personnel to master it easily. It is a well-known BI product in China at present. Using it for data perspective analysis can bring great efficiency improvement, because compared with foreign BI tools such as Tableau, domestic Smartbi is very consistent with Chinese people’s data analysis thinking.
Easy to learn and use: No need to learn new BI products, Excel can complete BI analysis, learning cost is very low.
Powerful functions: Fully retain Excel data processing and data analysis capabilities, combined with self-service BI rich data preparation, data sharing, enterprise security control.
Resource reuse: a large number of Excel templates can be reused and enterprise resources can be fully utilized.
Improved efficiency: Front-line combat units have access to the latest data analysis in Excel at any time, eliminating repetitive derivatives.
This self-service BI is often used as a big data front-end presentation and a tool to produce case reports on big data analysis, and it is even a little overpowered as a data perspective analysis tool. Smartbi connects to various data sources and collects data from various data sources for analysis. It supports relational databases such as Oracle, SQLServer, and mysql. All kinds of mainstream large database, non-relational database, multidimensional database, local files such as: Excel, TXT, CSV. Java data sources for custom authoring interfaces are also supported.
