Phocas is the GetApp category leader in business intelligence

 

GetApp is an independent online platform that people use to review, evaluate, and compare business software. Get App creates Category Leader reports for the most popular business applications each year, and based on current trends, business intelligence or BI is in demand. In 2021, Phocas software is ranked the Category Leader for business intelligence from hundreds of other products. The Phocas core business intelligence software achieved a near-perfect 99/100 score across five categories - ease of use, value for money, functionality, customer support, and likelihood to recommend.

GetApp methodology

getapp-graph2To create the Category Leaders ranking report, the GetApp research team evaluate hundreds of products in any one category. Only the products with the highest scores become Category Leaders.

Each Category Leader has a radar chart depicting the product’s scores for each of the five areas (shown in aqua blue) relative to the average scores of all products in the category (the dark blue lines). Take a look at the Phocas radar chart to the right and you can see that the software scores 20/20 for four categories (ease of use, value for money, functionality and likelihood to recommend) and 19/20 for customer support. Phocas outperforms all other products across all areas of the review.

The data sources GetApp uses to develop the reports include approved user reviews, public data sources, and data from technology vendors.

Ease-of-use is important to all people

It’s great to have Gartner-owned GetApp producing reports that reflect the experience of real users of the software. When evaluating the best fit business intelligence software, people want to understand: how easy to use and do we get value for money? Then they are interested in: is the customer support any good? And ultimately, would customers recommend the product to others? explains Glashier.

“Data is not easy for companies to bring together and present in a meaningful way. Many people find data inhibiting and are held back by not having access to the information they need. Therefore, by using business intelligence software that presents a single source of information in a format that is user friendly and current, makes a massive impact on a company,” says Glashier.

 

The 2021 GetApp result reinforces that customers get a great experience from Phocas BI Software.

Customers tell us time and time again that ease of use is important to them.
