Analytics, or rather, data analytics, is designed to explore large amounts of data of different types to discover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, and other useful information. Such information can help you reach your business goals and bring you competitive advantages over competitors, such as more effective marketing or higher sales.
The Azure platform currently has the following offers in the portfolio:
- Cortana Intelligence Suite
- Azure Stream Analytics
- Azure Data Lake Analytics
- Azure Time Series Insights
This category overlaps in its offers with the processing and big data categories. The reason for this is that Microsoft tries to offer services as a complete solution for a workload.
