Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found that the feature to drag and drop widgets based on the data source, and import them into stories to be valuable.

"Technical support is helpful."
"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."

"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
