For this report, the global provider of technology research and advisory services examined 15 vendor solutions in the embedded analytics market landscape, and named Infor a Leader, the highest rank. Positioning is based on the usability and functionality of each offering, informed by customer feedback. Nucleus also considers the solutions’ embedding options, ease-of-use for end consumers of analytics, ease-of-use for creator/analyst, and the breadth of the platform to support the data pipeline from end to end, along with other factors.
