# Which embedded BI platforms minimize interface lag and workflow disruption?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Slow performance on large datasets is the most common single criticism across this entire category. What the <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence">Embedded Business Intelligence category</a> data does support:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/reveal-2022-05-24/reviews"><strong>Reveal</strong></a> — The one product here where reviewers specifically praise handling large datasets without lag, and its native SDK approach avoids the iFrame round-trip entirely. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/sigma-computing-sigma/reviews"><strong>Sigma</strong></a> — Queries the warehouse directly rather than maintaining a separate extract.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-quick/reviews"><strong>Amazon Quick</strong></a> — Serverless and pay-per-session, so it scales with concurrency rather than against it. </li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/google-chart-tools/reviews"><strong>Google Chart Tools</strong></a> — Lightweight client-side charting with minimal coding.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">On workflow disruption specifically, the architectural distinction matters more than raw speed: a true SDK embed runs as part of your application, while an iFrame embed is a separate page wearing your styling. Users notice the difference even when both are fast.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">What made the biggest difference for you? Was it the platform, the warehouse underneath it, or how the embed was implemented?</p>

&lt;p&gt;I think perceived performance deserves as much attention as raw query speed here. An embedded dashboard can return data quickly and still feel disruptive if navigation, authentication, or interactions don’t behave like the host application. For teams that improved performance, was the biggest gain from changing the BI platform, optimizing queries, or redesigning the embed itself?&lt;/p&gt;
