Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have to manage and present report analyses coming from different projects. Rational BI allows for the creation of useful reports and dashboards and sets up automatically scheduled report delivery to all stakeholders. Managers and collaborators share easily a lot of information in a rational view with the possibility to customize the arrangements.

Pros and Cons

Arrange data.
Dashboard.
Automatic reports.

Different user profiles are needed.

Return on Investment

Reducing time to share data.
Arrange big quantity of data.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Power BI

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.

Usability

Rational BI allows managing data analysis coming from different projects. The outputs are one or more reports, that can be delivered automatically to the stakeholders or other communication media inside the organization. Nice dashboards help to describe and analyze data. Sometimes different user profiles could be needed, optimize the view.

Support Rating

I had no chance to use support, ma considering the good quality of the application, it would be supposed the overall support works fine. Maybe the use of different user profiles could be suggested to the support, to optimize the experience of every single user, without access to non-interesting data.

Likelihood to Recommend

Rational BI allows managing data analysis coming from different projects in order to create useful reports and dashboards. I usually set up automatically scheduled reports. All the stakeholders can easily share a rational view with the possibility to filter between the interesting arguments. Sometimes different user profiles could be needed, optimize the view.
