I'm deciding on a web-based platform to develop for 100's to 1000's businesses to use to see their data up against aggregated data. Which would you recommend?

I would recommend Microsoft's PowerBI. There may be a few situations where SyncFusion may be better, but for compatibility and longer term support I would recommend PowerBI. It will be easier to find talent to use it as well.
Hi @JIm DeLano , I would also recommend Microsoft Power BI. Power BI embedded feature will help you easy implementation within various webapps or other applications using API. Read more here https://powerbi.microsoft.com/...
Hello community,
I am currently researching BI tools.
I'm looking for a comparison between Sigma and Power BI in terms of costs, performance, and ease of use. Which of these solutions do you prefer and why?
Thank you for your help.
The two are similar, it is cars but of different brands; I ask 1-) the users use Windows 2-) you have Office 365 3-) They will use Excel for the data. If you answer yes to the 3, better BI due to integration, and learning is easier for the user. If they are non-Microsoft databases, investigate on the provider's side, for example, SAP, IBM, etc. I have trained end users in Power BI. I know that Power BI has the majority of connectors. I hope my comment is helpful. Regards
Hello peers,
I am looking into extracting reports, dashboards, and data from Oracle Fusion into Power BI. It is easy to do? What is the best practice for this?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Ross,
Easy is a tricky description...We are going through this effort too. We are 'grappling' with the governance of this type of access as well as the technical journey. So you are not alone.
Fusion Middleware applications include a number of connectivity options including native client or Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC), with OLEDB, JDBC, etc., on top. Each has its own quirks. This is the 'plumbing' between the analytic tool and source.
Adding to that is the cloud and database level security of the data source.
A good way to start is to use Oracle's SQL Developer to connect to your data source. It gives developers a great query tool for Oracle and other databases. (https://www.oracle.com/databas...)
Once you understand what you can access, you can easily migrate that connectivity to Power BI.
Moreover, you will have validated queries that you can test directly or simply bring in the tables using the PBI Navigator.
Hi Ross,Good news! The BI Connector, a Power BI-certified connector is created exactly for this purpose!With BI Connector, it's possible to extract your Oracle Fusion data directly to Power BI. Please check it out below:https://www.biconnector.com/po...The connector works seamlessly with both Power BI Desktop and Service (or Report Server) and supports Import and Direct Query modes. It also retains the underlying table joins in the Oracle Fusion Cloud, so you don't have to recreate them from scratch in Power BI.Thanks,Dinesh
Business owners cannot rely on their own market assessments and strategic assumptions to make informed tactical decisions. Rapid technology development and tough competition mean that thorough data analysis is vital for success. In this article, we explain how business analysts, IT teams, and company managers can benefit from Microsoft Power BI integration with the help of BI connectors.
