Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Analytify AI Cloud BI.
What is cloud-based BI?
Cloud Based BI (Business Intelligence) Means the BI platform is deployed and accessed over the internet (cloud) rather than installed on your company’s own physical servers. There are two main types of cloud BI 1. Vendor-Hosted Cloud BI (SaaS BI) The vendor hosts everything in their own cloud environment. You just sign in via a browser. No server maintenance, no setup, no updates to worry about. 2. Self-Hosted Cloud BI You (the customer) deploy and manage the BI platform in your own cloud account (AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, etc.). You’re still “in the cloud,” but you control the hosting, scaling, and data.
What's the difference between Cloud BI and on-prem BI?
Cloud BI is hosted and managed in the cloud, enabling faster setup (minutes vs weeks) and elastic scaling without infrastructure overhead. On-prem BI requires significant IT resources and gives you full infrastructure control but takes longer to deploy and scale.
What is the difference between cloud BI and traditional BI?
Cloud BI is hosted on the cloud, offering easy access, scalability, and lower upfront costs, while Traditional BI is on-premises, requiring heavy infrastructure, higher setup costs, and manual maintenance.
Can I keep data in my own warehouse?
Yes — Analytify supports query-in-place architecture, meaning your data stays in your warehouse (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, etc.) and we query it directly. You can also choose mirrored tables based on your latency, cost, and compliance requirements.
Do you offer single-tenant or VPC options?
Yes — we offer dedicated VPC deployments and full self-hosting options on Enterprise plans. Perfect for customers with strict compliance requirements or those who need complete infrastructure control.
