Business intelligence (BI) tools are applications used to collect information, process it, and structure that data in a way that makes sense. Generally, BI tools are used when a company is handling a considerable amount of unstructured data from their system. An example of an organization requiring a BI tool would be a hospital needing to organize patient health records. A useful business intelligence tool will bring a company's information to life through visuals (data visualization).
Some of the most popular BI tools include:
- Sisense
- BIRT
- icCube
- Domo
- Clear Analytics
- Gooddata
- IBM Cognos Intelligence
- Looker
- JasperSoft
- Microsoft BI
Explain to the interviewer with which tools you are most familiar. If you can, rate your knowledge in each as beginner, intermediate, advanced, or expert. This rating will help the interviewer to understand better where your strengths are. If the BI tools used at Rapid7 are mentioned, be sure to address your experience level of those as well.

"I am most experienced in the Microsoft Business Intelligence platform, as this is what we use in my current role. I have been working with it for a couple of years now, and fully understand it's capabilities and features including the analysis and integration services, reporting, and its applications for creating and working with analytical data. I would say I am an advanced user in this tool. I see that Rapid7 uses Microsoft BI as well, which is great."
