The BI Survey 18 examines user feedback on BI product selection and usage across 30 criteria, including business benefits, recommendation, price-to-value, customer satisfaction, customer experience, operational BI, embedded BI, and vendor support.

Information Builders' impressive marks are the result of top-ranking scores across two peer groups – large enterprise BI platforms and large international BI vendors. While Information Builders has achieved consistently above-average results in several categories for many years, this year, the company and its WebFOCUS BI and analytics platform scored 17 top-rankings and 14 leading positions overall out of 60 categories. According to those surveyed, Information Builders is a customer-oriented vendor that provides a positive sales experience, business benefits in large and complex projects, and a good standard of support.  

WebFOCUS was recognized by a survey respondent as a "very scalable technology for all areas and functionalities" that offers "limitless application and extension possibilities." The report also noted the WebFOCUS capabilities that help customers enhance operational efficiency and reduce costs, while enabling them to achieve business goals by providing a highly flexible solution that can be applied to a variety of use cases.
