BO versus Power Analyzer

Hi Guys,
I am working with BO for the last 3 years.Recently saw an article on comparing BO with Power Analyzer of Informatica.Just curious to hear your inputs.The advantages of Power analyser over BO according to them are


  1. Web-based with zero footprints on client (no client-side JAVA or ActiveX).
  2. Single integrated toolset for report design and distribution, unlike BO where there is thick client, thin client and Web I
  3. Application runs on JAVA server. No CORBA like BO.
  4. Very good excel integration, unlike BO
  5. Metadata integration from Power Center to Power Analyzer.
  6. Compatibility with the latest SP in WIN environment is not an issue with power analyzer.

Please share your experiences

What about the fact that they have very few if customers. Ask them for a reference with 5000 seats.

It’s a snazzy looking tool that is good for casual use.
