Stephen Few on his blog has established a benchmark for visual analysis software.

Sight Software’s Process Intelligence tools score a perfect 10 on his list.

1. When you look at it, can you make sense of the data with relatively little training?
   YES
2. Does it make the most meaningful patterns, trends, and exceptions easy to see and interpret?
   YES
3. Does it encode quantitative data accurately (that is, based on the visual display itself, can you accurately interpret the quantities it encodes and accurately compare them to one another)?
   YES
4. Does it avoid features that distract you from the data?
   YES
5. Is it pleasant to look at for long periods of time without undue visual fatigue?
   YES
6. Can you use it to answer real business questions? If so, how long does it take? Anyone who is responsible for making sense of data in the real business world knows that questions that are hard to answer with the tools you have end up not getting asked.
   YES (and it is FAST!)
7. When you use it to interact with the data (for example, to filter the data), can you do so in a manner that support your flow of thought about the data without interruption?
   YES
8. Does it encourage you to do things right and discourage you from doing things wrong (for example, to use chart types that make no sense given the nature of the data that you are analyzing)?
   YES
9. Can you easily find and use the types of visualizations, data interactions, and calculations that are needed most often without wading through intimidating menus and lists to get to them?
   YES
10. Does it provide the flexibility required to easily display and interact with the data in the full range of meaningful ways that come to mind as you work to make sense of the data?
    YES
