    Social Media Research Foundation
    It is suited for social scientists who are more focused on the interpretation that fits in the area of Social Science and Humanity and has nothing to do with computer programming and mathematics

    Definitely well suited for small companies, but again many of their competitors are also well suited in this segment. We were in general happy with the solution provided, but I'm not blown away by their solution or support. If you want to get more data-driven visual boards with data displayed in nice graphics is in my opinion a good start, and here Rational BI delivers what it should.

    Cons
    Social Media Research Foundation
    • It would be nice if NodeXL can analyse other type of social media such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok
    • It would be nice if it is 100 percent stable, as sometimes I have a problem with error in NodeXL when it is processing the data
    • It would be nice if is able to reduce the price for adding Microsoft Power BI in NodeXL

    I haven't used the support myself, but my colleagues have been satisfied with the support. As I have understood from my colleagues the support is as you could expect. Still, the documentation could be better and that could avoid the need to contact their support, but overall we're still happy with the support as well.

    Rational BI allows a deeper data analysis with respect to the other software I experimented with. The velocity to perform the analysis is similar to the other one. The predictive analysis could be very useful, but at the moment I do not use it in my activities. Dashboards are nice and easy to understand.
