TARGIT Decision Suite BARC Review & Rating

This section contains our independent analyst views on TARGIT Decision Suite.

Provider and product description

TARGIT is a privately-owned software provider founded in 1986 with its headquarters in Aalborg, Denmark. The company has close to 8,000 customers (including OEM) primarily located in Europe and North America.

TARGIT aims to help businesses realize the full value of data by leveraging decades of analytics expertise and experience in key verticals. The vendor is strongly focused on customer and partner relationships and is well positioned for companies of all sizes requiring an all-integrated BI platform with vertical content.

With its TARGIT Decision Suite BI & analytics platform, the objective is to deliver detailed insights and make relevant data accessible to every employee by supporting the unique goals and processes that power its customers’ daily operations.

Delivering industry knowledge and value drivers through its BI & analytics platform remains a top priority for TARGIT. The vendor especially focuses on certain verticals including heavy equipment, truck & trailer and automotive dealerships, retail and C-stores, the public sector (especially in the Nordic region) and airport operators. Extensive prebuilt content with a particular focus on the automotive industry was added through the acquisition of TARGIT’s partner CalmCo, now acting as TARGIT Automotive. Besides adding verticals and content to its portfolio, the vendor maintains a partner network with an emphasis on partners with a strong vertical focus or specialization, including OEM partners.

TARGIT Decision Suite offers integrated self-service analysis, ad hoc reporting and dashboards with features for batch reporting, mobility, slideshows and data mashups. An installed client is used for data preparation, document creation and analyses. The Document Model is intended to reduce the effort required to design content and make it available across all devices and output types. Dashboard applications and visuals can be embedded through a no-footprint web client into other applications and web portals. For mobile users, a dedicated client is available as well. The suite can be deployed on premises or used as a managed option from TARGIT (TARGIT Cloud), which is hosted on Microsoft Azure.

TARGIT uses Azure cloud infrastructure and services for its core platform and adopts a flexible and agnostic approach to data platforms and the use of AI and ML services, opting to leverage the vendors and solutions best suited for each specific purpose.

Strengths and challenges of TARGIT Decision Suite

BARC’s viewpoint on the product’s strengths and challenges.

Strengths

Accelerators, predefined content and industry knowledge for different verticals and topics
Business-user-oriented BI platform for reporting, analysis and dashboards available on premises or in the cloud, and supporting additional technologies such as OLAP and Tabular
One document type for different output formats to facilitate content development
Well defined ad hoc query and reporting functionality compared to some competitors
Enterprise functionality for data governance, reporting, distribution, deployment and logging

Challenges

Currently, TARGIT only offers managed cloud deployment in Azure, making it less interesting for organizations that want to use other cloud infrastructures for BI & analytics
Weaker support for visual data exploration and data preparation compared to many of its competitors, but strong OLAP analysis goes some way to compensating for this
The use of ML and AI to guide users through data preparation and analysis (augmented analytics) is a focus area and part of the roadmap but still in its early stages
