These tools were designed to help organizations analyze and visualize their data to make informed business decisions.
Solutions in the Legacy BI Tools category include:
- Crystal Reports: A popular reporting tool that allows users to create and design interactive reports.
- Microsoft Excel: A spreadsheet program that offers basic data analysis and visualization capabilities.
- IBM Cognos: A comprehensive BI suite that provides reporting, analysis, and dashboarding functionalities.
- Oracle Discoverer: A tool for ad-hoc querying and reporting on Oracle databases.

These tools have been widely used in the past but are now considered legacy as they lack the advanced features and capabilities offered by modern BI platforms.
