Likelihood to Recommend OrgMapper is especially useful in mapping the soft-relationships within teams and organizations: communication, cooperation, knowledge sharing, and information flows.
Read full review In my organization, we mainly use Workday Prism Analytics in HR and Finance departments. It not only enables us to make data-centric decisions but also helps reduce the need for data experts since we are able to visualize data on our own through self-service analytics.
Read full review Pros OrgMapper uses appropriate questions to understand the different aspects of networks in organizations. These questions are conceptually sound and appropriate and diverse. They are easy to understand. There is a direct path from the survey to the visualization of data in network maps. Though having an official report is of great value, I rely on the ability of OrgMapper to translate raw data obtained via survey into actual maps potentially in real-time if needed. I appreciate the use of modules like Knowledge Mapper or Team Mapper which pull together questions to respond to particular issues in organizations. This makes marketing easier and facilitates the decision making process on the part of clients. I have found the technical support for OrgMapper to be helpful. I appreciate that the Maven 7 people like many of us users are all on a learning curve with regard to the translation of network science into practical usage. Thus, ongoing communication back and forth between we users and Maven 7 is helpful and important. I appreciate the inquisitive approach taken my Maven 7 and their dedication to resolve technical issues that arise. Read full review It's web based. No need to install any desktop clients on your machine to use platfora. It's best suited for a big data Hadoop environment. I can rate it as the #1 BI tool for a big data hadoop environment. Platfora follows kind of the same architecture as Hadoop architecture like Master and Slave architecture. It scales with the data volumes. Querying data is very good and very fast. (Platfora Lens) Client presentation wise it's good. You can get different kinds of graphs. Platfora almost supports everything on Big Data technologies including file formats, compression etc. Security is not compromised and it can deal in parallel with any Hadoop distributor security implementations. Just take an example of Knox on Hortonworks, so it will deal with that and cloudera , MapR Its very easily understandable and for the new people who wants to try platfora, learning curve is low You can create your own datasets in platfora. You can store your results as a dataset in platfora and can share across Read full review Cons Actually I don't see one, it's very easy to use and the results are clear for every one. Read full review Data Movement - Data needs to be moved from Hadoop to Platfora to create Platfora Lens and to do analytics. To support Data movement, infrastructure cost is high. To support data movement, network bandwidth consumption is high. No trial versions for companies to evaluate.

Read full review Usability Emailing out the survey to respondents can be a complex undertaking. Helping them gain access via their password can also take effort. The survey respondents must be entered by hand. I did not have a great deal of trouble doing this with 30 people. Questions are clear and understandable. However, if the context of the question differs from the normal way the question is used, this may present some difficulty to the respondents to understand and make sense of the question. Support here is important. It is extremely easy to select questions based on the identification of a focused challenge. Translation of the raw data to the visual map is done by the software and this is of great benefit and makes the product quite useful to me. Filters and the ability to manipulate the maps are also helpful though there is a learning curve to this.

Read full review Both are great products. The advantage of
SAP Workforce Analytics is that it's widely interoperable between different APIs and databases. Having said that, Workday Prism Analytics scores much better in user-friendliness and the learning curve for the teams to start using it is very low. If Workday enhances its APIs functionality, it can compete easily with
SAP Workforce Analytics .
Read full review Return on Investment For our clients Orgmapper/the Network Approach has the potential to become a foundational approach to organisational transformation. It is early days as we are working in partnership with our clients to develop the best approach based on our explorations to date. In some instances including Orgmapper in our offering has actually slowed the lead conversion process down - which has been good from the perspective that we are working larger propositions, over the longer term. So for Better Change - Orgmapper provides a significant uplift and complimentary capability to our core capabilities.

Improved ease of access for employees, reducing unnecessary communication between employees and management. Has led to fewer accounting errors overall.
