# Best Embedded Business Intelligence Software *By [Bijou Barry](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/bijou-barry)* Embedded business intelligence software provides analytics capabilities within the context of a business application. Software developers can use embedded business intelligence tools to quickly incorporate self-service analytics capabilities into business applications. Additionally, some [business intelligence platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/business-intelligence-platforms) and [self-service business intelligence software](https://www.g2.com/categories/self-service-business-intelligence) provide the ability to embed dashboards into applications used internally by employees, to allow for easier and more convenient analysis. The tools differ in terms of the degree of embeddability and the extent to which end users can customize the analytics and dashboards. Embedded BI products provide developers with a software development kit for adding analytics functionality to a given application, making it easy to house the analytics inside a proprietary product. While these tools may be sold to enterprise companies to be deployed in internal systems, they are by and large sold to other software companies. Embedded analytics are intended to be used by the average business user within an application, therefore they commonly offer self-service analysis functionality. However, if the product cannot be used as a standalone self-service business intelligence tool in addition to its embedding capability, it only qualifies for the Embedded Business Intelligence category. To qualify for inclusion in the Embedded Business Intelligence category, a product must: - Be able to be sold as an OEM product to other software development companies to be embedded within their application - Be used by developers to embed analytics capabilities inside a business application - Consume data from any source - Allow users to transform data into a useful and relatable model embedded within a business application - Create reports and visualizations with business utility embedded within a business application ## Top Embedded Business Intelligence Software at a Glance | # | Product | Rating | Best For | What Users Say | |---|---------|--------|----------|----------------| | 1 | [Tableau](https://www.g2.com/products/tableau/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (3,664 reviews) | Multi-source dashboard embedding inside Salesforce workflows | "[Intuitive, Powerful Dashboards Made Easy with Tableau](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/tableau-review-12975131)" | | 2 | [Amazon QuickSight](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-quicksight/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (675 reviews) | Pay-per-session embedded analytics on AWS pipelines | "[Fast, Serverless BI with Seamless AWS Integration](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/amazon-quicksight-review-11692248)" | | 3 | [GoodData.AI](https://www.g2.com/products/gooddata-ai/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (597 reviews) | White-labeled multi-tenant embedded analytics delivery | "[Embedded Dashboards and Consistent Metrics That Cut Support Tickets](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/gooddata-ai-review-13032302)" | | 4 | [IBM Cognos Analytics](https://www.g2.com/products/ibm-cognos-analytics/reviews) | 4.1/5.0 (438 reviews) | Governed pixel-perfect reporting inside IBM enterprise ecosystems | "[Powerful Reporting, Less Modern Interface](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/ibm-cognos-analytics-review-13048146)" | | 5 | [Hex](https://www.g2.com/products/hex-tech-hex/reviews) | 4.5/5.0 (401 reviews) | Code-first notebooks with publishable self-serve apps | "[Effortless Data Analysis with Powerful AI](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/hex-review-12262172)" | | 6 | [Sigma](https://www.g2.com/products/sigma-computing-sigma/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (544 reviews) | Snowflake-native embedded analytics with writeback | "[Easiest BI Tool: Live Snowflake Data in a Spreadsheet-Like Experience](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/sigma-review-12573150)" | | 7 | [Jaspersoft](https://www.g2.com/products/jaspersoft/reviews) | 4.1/5.0 (207 reviews) | Pixel-perfect embedded reporting with scheduled delivery | "[The best reporting tool to get the detailed analysis of a software (Analytics Tool)](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/jaspersoft-review-11425328)" | | 8 | [Domo](https://www.g2.com/products/domo/reviews) | 4.3/5.0 (1,019 reviews) | Multi-source data embedding with no-code ETL | "[Domo Makes Real-Time Dashboards Effortless with Intuitive ETL and Mobile Metrics](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/domo-review-13032278)" | | 9 | [Google Chart Tools](https://www.g2.com/products/google-chart-tools/reviews) | 4.2/5.0 (499 reviews) | Google-native embedded charting for web applications | "[Seamless Integration and Easy Creation of Complex Charts](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/google-chart-tools-review-12661987)" | | 10 | [Yellowfin BI](https://www.g2.com/products/yellowfin-bi/reviews) | 4.4/5.0 (418 reviews) | White-labeled multi-tenant analytics embedding for ISVs | "[Yellowfin BI Excels at Data Storytelling, Collaboration, and AI-Assisted Insights](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/yellowfin-bi-review-12809222)" | ## G2 Grid® for Embedded Business Intelligence Software ![G2 Grid® for Embedded Business Intelligence Software plotting products by satisfaction and market presence](https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence/grids.png?focus%5B%5D=1213&focus%5B%5D=20158&focus%5B%5D=610&focus%5B%5D=612&focus%5B%5D=162504&focus%5B%5D=104521&focus%5B%5D=998&focus%5B%5D=604) Highlighted products: Tableau, Amazon QuickSight, GoodData.AI, IBM Cognos Analytics, Hex, Sigma, Jaspersoft, and Domo.

[Sigma](https://www.g2.com/products/sigma-computing-sigma/reviews) Sigma is the AI runtime layer for analytics, agents, and apps built on live warehouse data. It is a cloud analytics and business intelligence platform that helps business and technical teams explore live data, build reports and applications, and deploy AI agents directly on a cloud data warehouse, using a familiar spreadsheet interface alongside SQL, Python, and AI. - Analytics: Use Sigma for classic business intelligence workloads like pixel-perfect reporting, embedded analytics, and self-service access to data in an Excel-like interface. Build with AI, spreadsheet functions, SQL, or Python. - Agents: Deploy AI agents that act on live data and run multi-step workflows. Build them with natural language and your choice of enterprise LLM or warehouse AI. - Apps: Build AI Apps for operational work like planning and forecasting, scenario modeling, and approval routing, with writeback and governance automatically configured. Every artifact in Sigma inherits the security, permissions, and row-level access already set in the cloud data warehouse. Because governance is enforced at the source, anything a team builds is IT-approved from the start. Sigma solves a persistent tradeoff in enterprise data work. Business teams typically wait on a central data team to build reports and tools, while ad hoc AI and app-building tools produce work that sits outside IT's control. Sigma removes that tradeoff by keeping analysis, reporting, applications, and agents on live warehouse data under one set of permissions, so non-technical users build what they need while IT keeps a single, auditable system of control. Founded in 2014, Sigma is a privately held company headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in New York, London, and Sydney. More than 2,000 companies trust Sigma, including DoorDash, Blackstone, JPMorgan Chase, and Figma. Sigma is the business intelligence partner of the year for both Snowflake (2023-2026) and Databricks (2025-2026). **Average Rating:** 4.4/5.0 **Total Reviews:** 544 **How Do G2 Users Rate Sigma?** - **Has the product been a good partner in doing business?:** 9.1/10 (Category avg: 8.9/10) - **Steps to Answer:** 8.4/10 (Category avg: 8.3/10) - **Reports Interface:** 8.6/10 (Category avg: 8.7/10) - **Calculated Fields:** 8.7/10 (Category avg: 8.5/10) **Who Is the Company Behind Sigma?** - **Seller:** [Sigma Computing](https://www.g2.com/sellers/sigma-computing) - **Company Website:** https://www.sigmacomputing.com/ - **Year Founded:** 2014 - **HQ Location:** San Francisco, California - **Twitter:** @sigmacomputing (1,556 Twitter followers) - **LinkedIn® Page:** https://www.linkedin.com/company/7801411/ (1,415 employees on LinkedIn®) **Who Uses This Product?** - **Who Uses This:** Data Analyst, Customer Success Manager - **Top Industries:** Information Technology and Services, Computer Software - **Company Size:** 58% Mid-Market, 21% Enterprise #### What Are Sigma's Pros and Cons? **Pros:** - Ease of Use (68 reviews) - User Interface (28 reviews) - Customer Support (25 reviews) - Data Handling (25 reviews) - Data Visualization (24 reviews) **Cons:** - Slow Loading (23 reviews) - Slow Performance (22 reviews) - Limited Customization (19 reviews) - Learning Curve (17 reviews) - Missing Features (12 reviews) ### What Do G2 Reviewers Say About Sigma? *AI-generated summary from verified user reviews* **Pros:** - Users appreciate the **ease of use** of Sigma, finding it intuitive and simple to learn and navigate. - Users love the **user-friendly interface** of Sigma, making it easy to create and manage metrics and dashboards. - Users value the **responsive customer support** from Sigma, ensuring timely resolutions and effective assistance for their needs. - Users find Sigma's **data handling capabilities** invaluable, simplifying processing and visualization for daily projects. - Users appreciate how Sigma provides **clear and interactive data visualizations** , making complex datasets easy to analyze and understand. **Cons:** - Users report that **loading times can be slow** , causing inefficiencies and frustration during use of Sigma. - Users experience **slow performance** with Sigma, especially when handling complex tasks or larger datasets. - Users find **limited customization** options in Sigma, restricting advanced visualizations and flexible formatting for their needs. - Users find the **learning curve steep** , struggling to navigate dashboard building and limited resources for support. - Users note the **missing features** in Sigma, such as limited visualizations and lack of scripting integration, affecting flexibility. #### What Are Recent G2 Reviews of Sigma? **"[Easiest BI Tool: Live Snowflake Data in a Spreadsheet-Like Experience](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/sigma-review-12573150)"** **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars *— Keerthan P.* [Read full review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/sigma-review-12573150) --- **"[Sigma unlocks data value for our organization](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/sigma-review-10895340)"** **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars *— Austin M.* [Read full review](https://www.g2.com/survey_responses/sigma-review-10895340) --- #### What Are G2 Users Discussing About Sigma? - [What is Sigma used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-sigma-used-for) - 1 comment ### 7.

Embedded business intelligence (BI) software, also known as embedded analysis software, gives users self-service analytics capabilities within business applications. Software developers use embedded business intelligence tools to build analytics into business applications, giving users access to analytics without relying on third party BI consultants or customer support. The software in this category makes it easy to house analytics inside a specific application. Additionally, some embedded business intelligence platforms provide businesses with embedded dashboards; this allows employees easy access to relevant analysis. While these tools may be sold to enterprise companies for internal systems such as [HR](https://www.g2.com/categories/hr) or [ERP systems](https://www.g2.com/categories/erp-systems), they are usually sold to other software companies who integrate them in existing software to give the software embedded business intelligence capabilities. Key Benefits of Embedded Business Intelligence Software - Empower users to access data during daily workflow without exiting their current application - Allow users to [transform data](https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence/f/data-transformation) into a useful and relatable model embedded within a business application - [Create reports](https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence/f/reports-interface), dashboards, and visualizations ### Why Use Embedded Business Intelligence Software? Business applications produce vast amounts of data which can be very useful for end users. Traditionally, business users that wanted to extract and analyze data would use business intelligence platforms; they would need to extract the data from the application and upload it to the platform. Embedded business intelligence is an alternative approach where users can access analytics from within the user interface of the given application. Embedded business intelligence provide users with interactive visual dashboards and reporting functionality within the actual business application. - Engaged users — Incorporating embedded business intelligence into applications results in higher productivity for end users, since they can access data and analytics within the application they are using. - Improved efficiency — Companies are seeing a decline in ad hoc analytics requests when embedded business intelligence is deployed. - Better applications — Users spend more time using applications when they are enhanced with embedded business intelligence, this leads to enhanced productivity and better deployment of the applications. ### Who Uses Embedded Business Intelligence Software? Analytics is no longer out of reach for the everyday employee. Thanks to self-service analytics and embedded business intelligence, data analysis is open to many, and insights can be drawn from data by anyone with basic software capabilities. However, there are still specific positions that utilize this software more than others. - Software developers — Developers that want to create the next generation of products and services can use embedded business intelligence to build analytics capabilities into their applications, including custom reports and dashboards. - Business users — Analytics can be at the business user’s fingertips, allowing them to understand the data. The user-friendly designs of this software are especially helpful for users at smaller companies where this type of analysis is a small facet of a user’s job. - Business analysts — These tools give business analysts the ability to create custom dashboards and reports that serve a variety of stakeholders. These platforms empower analysts to stay up to date on their rapidly changing markets. - Data engineers — With embedded business intelligence, data engineers can focus on pulling data from disparate sources, furthering their ability to build analytics apps, widgets, and dashboards for business users. ### Kinds of Embedded Business Intelligence Software There are two areas where embedded business intelligence software are typically used, externally and internally. In both cases, analytics capabilities are built into business applications, the only difference is the end user. - External embedding — Embeds analytics into customer-facing applications to make them more useful, allowing users to understand the data they are viewing or creating. An example of external embedding would be a mobile app development company that builds a portal for clients to access analytics related to their mobile applications. - Internal embedding — Integrates reports and dashboards into tools a business’s employees use, allowing them to garner insights into their data from a wide range of sources and formats. An example of internal embedding would be a company’s IT department that develops and manages applications used by internal stakeholders and partners to understand internal company data, such as sales and marketing metrics. ### Embedded Business Intelligence Software Features Embedded business intelligence software tend to have a wide range of features, including visualization and reporting and data modeling. The following features are found in most embedded business intelligence software. - Integratable — When embedded business intelligence capabilities are integrated in a business application, users can access dashboards, visualizations, and reports. - White labeling — Embedded business intelligence software give developers the ability to white label and seamlessly integrate analytics to match the look and feel of of any given application. - Visualizations and reporting — Users can create reports and other user-friendly visualizations to better illustrate data and gain a competitive advantage. - [Data modeling](https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence/f/data-modeling) — Support self-service data modeling, blending, and [discovery processes](https://www.g2.com/categories/embedded-business-intelligence/f/data-discovery).
