• 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

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.
