• Collaboration: Business intelligence tools enhance collaboration, distribution, and publishing, making it easier to manage different versions of reports and share them with team members.
• Scalability and Performance: As your company grows, the complexity of reporting increases. business intelligence tools scale better and offer more complex functions needed for reporting.
• Security and Monitoring: They provide better security features and monitoring capabilities, which are crucial for protecting sensitive business data.
