Data discovery versus business intelligence

You may be confused about data discovery and business intelligence technologies; it seems they are very close to each other or even BI tools can do all what data discovery can do. And why do we need a separate data discovery tool, such as, SAP Lumira?

In order to better understand the difference between the two technologies, you can look at the table below:

Let's consider the pros and cons of data discovery:

Pros:

  • Rapidly analyze data with a short shelf life
  • Ideal for small teams
  • Best for tactical analysis
  • Great for answering on-off questions quickly

Cons:

  • Difficult to handle for enterprise organizations
  • Difficult for junior users
  • Lack of scalability

As a result, it is clear that BI and data discovery handles their own tasks and complement each other.
