Microsoft and Tableau vs all others. I do feel like most others, including Looker, are niche players with none really gaining enough market share to make the top two sweat. Microsoft's strength is really the completeness of platform (data+viz) where Tableau has been trying bolt on pieces over time.

I think it's too bad that there isn't more competition as I feel like innovation in BI is stalling. Overall BI is becoming commoditized while adjacent Data Engineering and Data Science/Analytics are surging.

Some of the up-and-comers have interesting approaches. I'd like to see more around.

  • Multi-channel BI (portal, push, stream)

  • BI/Data API interfaces (not strictly reporting/viz)

  • GraphDB support

  • More robust cross datasource joining (more like data federation including db, nosql/json, api)

  • Real-time reporting

  • Context aware embedded BI

As a side note I find it sad that MicroStrategy is investing $300M in Bitcoin. It's like seeing your Uncle get hooked on meth.

The companies that list links to the Magic Quadrant have all paid a lot of money for this privilege. They also pay a lot of money for cross-marketing services that Gartner and the many brands (Capterra, SoftwareAdvice, GetApp, and more) they own provide.

Second, they make money by writing about hot topics like AI, ML, Big Data, etc., even when only 1% of BI implementations utilize these. Boring old BI best-practices (e.g. user adoption, semantic modeling, etc.) do not get much clicks.

With that, I do think the analysis is pretty good. Microsoft's ability to execute is solid, however I would say it's not visionary - there aren't many/any features that many of the traditional BI providers have. Tableau is awesome, but not "enterprise-BI", meaning there are few medium+ organizations that can use it as their main BI tool. Qlik has excellent ability to execute, but is really old tech under the covers. They were bought by private equity firms that are milking it's value until they retire it - oldest trick in the private equity book. Having used Yellowfin, it should probably be higher. Oracle should be dead last. IBM should be lower on ability to execute, but much higher on completeness of vision. One of my main critiques is that IBM Cognos tries to do too much, making it inaccessible to regular users.
