Coginiti vs. MoreThanDigital Insights

Aginity is well suited for writing ad-hoc queries and data analysis, having all of the features that data analysts come to expect in a database querying tool. Aginity is also great for basic operation and management allowing an engineer or DBA to store multiple databases and credentials, see how tables are distributed or sorted, and see table sizes and row counts. However, for more advanced database management another tool or the RedShift console is still required

Definitely a recommendation. Every business owner or someone who wants to analyse his business should have a look at Insights. I guess especially as it is for free in the Base version (we got the Premium one) its a no-brainer to just do it. It takes less than 1-2 hours and it really gives deep insights into a company. I guess also perfect for consultants who can then offer follow-on services as MoreThanDigital isnt offering consulting - just the analytics.

• Explore, model and analyze data across all company platforms.
• With Aginity, we improve team engagements where we can access and re-use colleagues' SQL.
• Make faster data-driven decisions with BI capabilities.

Incentivized

• Fast and easy
• Good report
• Deep analysis and diagnostics of the business
• Multi-User Engagement (to get feedback)
• Modular

• with Hortonworks, you have to modify manually some settings in order to correctly see the metadata (HCAT properties)
• with reclaim, the generate only express statistics and "limit 100" on the select is a little risky if you do not pay attention.
• Saved views cannot be retrieved with the same [syntax] you wrote them, but they become really hard to read

Incentivized

• Onboarding could be better
• Some explanations in the report could be added
• Sign-Up flow can be improved

Clear Data, we love its simplicity! Not nuclear science to understand the comprehensive reports!

It’s just so easy to enter data that is clearly defined, guaranteeing that the output is measurable and comparable!

Aginity learning curve was smooth and we didn't need to hire a specialist to teach us the system. it also offers free trials and a free version which enabled us to use and test the system's compatibility with our organisation's needs before fully investing in one. moreover, its ability to drag and drop tabs has made our work easier.

Well, till now we didnt use any tools for that. I am not even aware if something like that exists. But we worked just with consultants sometimes or mostly actually making strategic decisions on our own. So there was not really a big "process" before possible as we just made it like everyone else with discussions and some informal process.

• I think Aginity really allows us to quickly dive into the data, by providing easy and quick access to our database. This allowed us to solve our business problems on an efficient and timely manner. But since it is not a critical component of our department, (a lot of people also use Toad for the same thing, since Netezza is retiring soon, and Aginity, which belongs to IBM, has had legal issues, and is no longer available to new hires of our department. It is sort of our legacy software.)

• We identified several areas for improvement
• We saw 10-20% savings in several areas
• Strategic discussions were pretty simple
• The report was super helpful for internal alignment
• Benchmarking helped us a lot to see how others are doing
