Tellius At A Glance

Good: Accessible for all users regardless of technical expertise, natural language feature that suggests recommended answers as a user types in a question, predictive modeling functionality.
Bad: Automatic analytics may be a challenge for those who use manual analytics.
Bottom Line: Business intelligence solution that uses machine-learning algorithms to find trends, patterns and answers in a matter of seconds.

Product Overview

Tellius is a business intelligence and analytics platform powered by machine learning so anyone can ask questions in plain language and discover hidden insights with a single click.

The platform provides more than interactive dashboards found in many business intelligence tools. Natural language search gives users a simple way to ask ad hoc questions and visualize data. Automated discovery of insights saves days and weeks from manual data exploration with embedded machine learning algorithms that uncover relationships, trends, and anomalies in your data. Data professionals can build, automate, and operationalize machine learning models from complex data.

Tellius features a high performance data architecture powered by Apache Spark that scales up to big data use cases. Connect to a wide variety of data sources, from databases, applications, big data sources, and files, unifying and preparing data for analysis.

Tellius can be deployed on-premise or hosted in the cloud.

Shortcomings

Although automated analytics has been gaining recognition, the process can still be a challenge for companies that are used to manual analytics. Instead of compiling data, users will need to rely on the software to provide the answer. And if it’s not the answer they originally had in mind, it may be tough to figure out why.
