any of you working-types interact with any BI/analytics tools in your day-to-day?

 

no response will be assumed as a "no." any response will be assumed as "yes," and i'll endlessly harass you via AIM or pm's. respond wisely.

 

thx,

We use BusinessObjects and a datawarehouse, but I dunno much about them. I wrote some data mining code for an earlier project where we tried a tool called MicroStrategy that we were less than happy with.

 

BTW, apparently BestBuy uses MicroStrategy ... the sales guy said this ... and like Fatty's team ... we followed them over the cliff. Its probably a good product, it just didn't work for us because the people that need the information wanted to be able to use it in a real ad/hoc way but the tool was so complicated it needed a very technical person to create the reports. Any tool that doesn't give your business users the information they need the way they want it, is crap -- even if its free.
