I looked at BMC Analytics about a year ago and I really wanted to get that, however, all the points that Guillaume made are true. So while Analytics is based on the BO engine, you don't have the freedom to do reporting outside its scope. I think both vendors miss out by creating that limitation. So while its a powerful reporting tool I would love to put in the hands of my end users, at the end of the day, I need to be able to create reports without some of the limitations imposed by the Analytic product.

Before I got the information below, I went to several support techs as you can imagine, since most people at BMC don't have a clear understanding of all this. It could depend on the BMC Analytics version.

We have been Business Objects users for years, and we?ve owned BMC Analytics for a year and a half, but the ?extra? BO server license is really useless for us since we put it on our production BOXI server. BMC didn?t want to give us a discount even though we wouldn?t be using their BOXI licenses.
