OMB Data Visualization Tool Requirements Analysis: Logi Analytics Dr. Brand Niemann Director and Senior Data Scientist Semantic Community http://semanticommunity.info/ AOL Government Blogger http://breakinggov.com/author/brand-niemann/ July 24, 2013 http://semanticommunity.info/Data_Science/Free_Data_Visualization_and_Analysis_Tools/Logi_Analytics 1

2. Background DRAFT White Paper for OMB Pittsburgh, July 11, 2013. Start With the End in Mind, Avoid Tool and Turf Wars, and Develop Well-designed Spreadsheets That Can be “Dragged and Dropped” Onto a Tool That Creates Statistics and Visualizations in the Public and Private Clouds. Focus on Requirements Analysis by First Comparing Magic Quadrant Leaders and Challengers on Common Data Sets. Spotfire Was Able to Reproduce Birst, Information Builders, Microsoft, QlikView, and Tableau Data Visualizations With Dynamically Linked Visualizations. Broaden This Requirements Analysis to Include More Sample Data Sets and Tools. Logi Analytics Is a Challenger in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. 2

3. Gartner BI Magic Quadrant: Logi Analytics Logi Analytics Strengths and Cautions Excerpts Logi Analytics’s BI platform is sold as a single platform, which is based on core or CPU with no limitations on user numbers. The platform includes reporting, analysis and dashboards for IT and business users, plus data integration. The company includes interfaces for business users and IT developers to create reports and dashboards. However, its IT-oriented, rapid development environment seems to be most compelling for its customers. While Logi Analytics has an above-average overall product rating, its sweet spot is clearly static and parameterized reporting and dashboards, which are used by the majority of its customers. 3 Note: Bolding by the author to highlight key points.

11. Nwind Database: Spotfire 11 https://silverspotfire.tibco.com/us/library#/users/bniemann/Public?Nwind-Spotfire

12. Some Conclusions and Recommendations Semantic Community Has Already Built the Nwind Database Demo in Spotfire for QlikView. Logi Analytics Requires the IIS Web Server and.NET To Be On Your PC and Provides Very Elementary Excel Templates. MindTouch and Spotfire Are More Versatile Than Logi Analytics For Mashups. Semantic Community Will Continue to Use The Gartner BI Magic Quadrant Leader Tools and Their Sample Data Sets and to Recreate Visualizations and Dashboards. 12
