Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: BARC

Product Code: R3485-12
Description
TM1 continues to build a growing following in the planning and financial applications market, and, with the launch of Version 9, offers new functionality and features. Although Applix is a fraction of the size of its main competitors, its product compares well in many key areas while outperforming the competition in some.

This 36-page review covers the latest release, including the .NET web architecture and revised user interface, along with a detailed look at all the other features of the product.

The review explains what factors could make TM1 worthy of inclusion on a short-list. Among other things, these include:
  • A write-back capability that outperform products such as MS Analysis Services
  • Ease of moving to and from a spreadsheet environment.
  • A true multi-cube calculation capability
  • TM1's RAM-based approach, making it suitable for portable use.
You will also discover its relative weaknesses, ranging from the absence of automatic exception detection or built-in time-series intelligence, to the lack of special support for currency conversion. Despite these limitations, TM1 emerges as a highly competitive product in a market dominated by more well-established players. In fact, Applix saw its OLAP market share increase faster than anyone except Microsoft in 2006.

Use this review to find out exactly:
  • Where Applix outperforms even the biggest players
  • Its comparative advantages in relation to comparable products
  • The background to Applix's current success in the financial OLAP market
