    Product Comparison

    FineBI and FineReport

    FineBI projects deployed via FineOps are equipped with FineReport functions. If both are needed, you just need to deploy FineBI.

    Comparison ItemFineBIFineReport
    Data engineFineBI provides a Spider computing engine that enables both real-time data acquisition and data extraction, allowing you to choose based on data volume, time sensitivity requirements, and usage frequency.FineReport allows you to fetch data from a direct-connected database, relying on database performance.
    Scope of support FineBI enables self-service online analytical processing (OLAP) of multidimensional data.  FineReport supports flexible customization of complex Chinese-style reports.
    Target userFineBI primarily serves business users, enabling them to design dashboards and conduct independent analyses to support business decisions. 

    FineReport mainly serves IT personnel to complete business requirements and create reports for employees and leadership.

    It can be used to generate fixed-format weekly/monthly reports and formal presentation materials.

    PurposeFineBI focuses on long-term strategic decisions, emphasizing relationships between industrial trends and business units rather than data precision. FineReport focuses on short-term operational support.

    FineDataLink Integration

    FineDataLink supports independent deployment only but can be used with FineBI and FineReport.

    ProductDescription
    FineDataLink and FineBI

    Workflow:

    • IT personnel use FineDataLink to process data (such as cleaning and integrating data), create business-wide tables, and output them to the application database.

    • Business users use the processed data in FineBI for data analysis and dashboard creation.

    Advantage:

    • Wide table data can be output to business databases efficiently on FineDataLink's visual pages and used directly in FineBI, which eliminates redundancy in self-service datasets and shortens data update time, thereby improving FineBI performance.

    • Data tables processed and output by FineDataLink can also be used by other tools.

    FineDataLink and FineReport 

    Workflow:

    • You can use FineDataLink to process data requiring complex SQL statements or cross-database associations, and then output the results to the application database.

    • You can use the processed data in FineReport to develop reports.

    Advantage:

    • With FineDataLink, the data processing steps in FineReport are simplified, speeding up the dashboard display in FineReport.

    • Datasets can be reused, accelerating report development.
