Analysis vs WebI (Web Intelligence)

[#1]

I've searched all over SCN as well as the rest of the web and can't find a good comparison between the two tools. I did see a post on here comparing WebI 3.X with Analysis 4.0 but we're specifically looking at 4.0 tools. We're working on a side by side comparison of BusinessObjects Analysis vs Web Intelligence and what situations, if any, you would want to use WebI over Analysis, especially when you have Crystal Reports as an option for formatted reports. To us it seems that Analysis gives you much more flexibility without the restrictions of WebI. Any input on this or links to relevant articles is much appreciated and points will be awarded for helpful answers!

Also consider Analysis OLAP, which is a web-based OLAP tool.

Please see presentation "How to Select the Right BI Tool" http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0db4050-c83e-2f10-fd99-b5b981431...

I think that may be what you are looking for

Hi Raj,

You Can have Two query in the same report,

1-  Data

2- Connect to data data source

3- Selmect your BEX query

but you cannot merge tow query in the same crosstab this option will be available in BI 4.1 see the document below (P 10)

Thanks
