Embedded Analytics Buyers Guide

Welcome to your Ultimate Buyers’ Guide for Embedded Analytics.

This guide is for anyone interested in incorporating embedded analytics into their businesses to create a great user experience for your app or product that you want to sell to your customers (whether they be external or internal).

Leveraging embedded analytics will make your product much more desirable to consumers, providing them with access to relevant data and information in real-time, without the need to launch separate BI tools that take away from your brand (and user experience).

Nowadays, customers demand more access to powerful data that your application or product is generating. If you have that unique ability to present your data in a compelling yet creative way — think of having dashboards with amazing charts and detailed information which you can use in handy — you already have that edge above the rest.

While the cost of retail BI tools has come down compared to the days when only the largest companies could afford them, vendors are still charging high prices for embedded analytics. That makes it even more critical to do your due diligence and find the right solution and the right price before you lock into any decision regarding a BI vendor.

Embedded solutions are “sticky.” Once you integrate, and your users become comfortable with the solution, they are very hard to “rip and replace.”

In this guide, the team at 5000fish is going to give you all the collective 20+ years of knowledge in embedded analytics to help you successfully navigate the choppy waters of buying BI software and how to select the best embedded analytics vendor for you.
