Please see below the details of the Product Technology Readiness Level of BDB Platform in the capability reference diagram. The platform is in quite advanced state and take care of most of the Analytics needs of the Enterprise. Here we want to claim that BDB Platform is the only ONE with all integrated features. None in Analytics space has so many features without acquisitions. Therefore, when a customer chooses an Azure or AWS – they are more of Services features for which Customer has to pay as per what they choose. Customers land up in choosing more as the solution goes deeper in 3-4 years and lands up in paying huge costs as compared to BDB which is 100% predictable and doesn’t have hidden costs.
The BDB feature document contains a list of all the GA features. This means that these products work in all circumstances and verticals.
Performance & Health - Keeping track of BDB Platform Server processes and the capacity of the underlying system is key to maintaining server reliability. It’s also a vital part of future capacity planning. The BDB Platform Server status page displays server processes across all nodes including the state of the active and passive Repositories. BDB Platform notifies admins and content owners when extract updates fail due to data connection issues. This helps you fix the data problem before users end up using stale data in their analyses.
User Management - Whether you’re supporting ten users or ten thousand, BDB Platform makes it easy for the server administrator. Our visual user management module helps you see exactly what roles and responsibilities each user and group inherits, for each site, project, and folder. Our enterprise authentication method makes it easy to batch add new users. And if you’re using Active Directory, we’ll sync with your existing AD groups to maintain consistency with your security protocols.
Auditing – BDB Platform maintains extensive log files of data connections, all server content, and user interactions. These robust logs can be used for troubleshooting and performance assessments as well as for audit compliance. Each user’s actions on BDB Platform are captured and stored for future reference. All the logs can be integrated with 3rd party monitoring tools like Datadog, etc. With BDB Platform, you have the visibility and tools you need to optimize your platform and ensure it’s running efficiently.
