To identify the critical issues experienced by end-users around data preparation, Dresner surveyed global users from July through October of 2017, which included businesses from 100 to more than 5,000 employees and across all industries. The report examined perceptions and intentions surrounding end-user data preparation, end-user requirements and features (usability, integration, output options, data manipulation, and deployment), industry support for end-user data preparation, user requirements versus industry capabilities, and vendor ratings.
“An important step towards the ongoing trend of user empowerment and self-service business intelligence, end user data preparation is driving an increasing amount of investment on both demand and supply sides of the equation,” said Howard Dresner, founder and chief research officer at at Dresner Advisory Services. “We congratulate Trifacta on their ranking as the end user data preparation leader for the fourth consecutive year.”
