The 2021 Gartner BI Magic Quadrant Visualized in Tableau - InterWorks
February 24, 2021 - It’s that time again: Gartner has released the BI Magic Quadrant for 2021. This announcement is highly anticipated every year to see where Gartner has ranked BI companies. The factors they use include things like execution and scope of vision, and there has been some notable movement this time around regarding who has been included – and excluded – from the list. The release of the BI Magic Quadrant also gives me the opportunity to carry on a tradition here on the blog and visualize the results in Tableau.

The 2021 Gartner BI Magic Quadrant is Broken for Cognos Analytics
February 21, 2021 - Scroll past the minor players with a single glowing review and look at the placement of the platforms included in the Magic Quadrant. As of this writing Cognos Analytics scores worse than Tableau Desktop. It scores better than Microstrategy, ThoughtSpot, Tableau Server, Domo, Power BI, Qlik Sense, Oracle, Sisense, Looker, Amazon, SAP and Board International. I hope I’ve done a good job of walking you through why I strongly disagree with IBM Cognos Analytics’ placement on the 2021 Gartner Business Intelligence Magic quadrant.

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.

March 11, 2021 - The new Data Wrangling feature in SAC where you can quickly upload your data, make adjustments and immediately see the results in your story absolutely is a great improvement. I’ve always regarded the whole SAC model creation approach as too difficult and cumbersome. This at least brings us a few steps closer to what users can do in PowerBI and Tableau.

August 13, 2019 - I think tableau is great for an analyst that has never used python or JS to customize their own visuals. It keeps you between the lines and let's you pump out reports. But... It requires so much damn maintenance.
