I am Chris McGuire, founder of Real Estate Exam Ninja. As a website owner, the best business intelligence software for me is Zoho Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports). It's great for a novice user like me. It's a self-service business intelligence system, data analytics with online reports. Its chart templates, dynamic filters,  and drag-and-drop editors make it interesting and helpful to use.  It can also be integrated with a variety of files like Microsoft Office documents, MySQL, and cloud-based servers like Dropbox, Google Drive, and others.

Pros 

Free trial for fifteen (15) days

Supports data from various sources

Visually-pleasing dashboard

Monthly premiums when trial period ends

I've always been a fan of Zoho. Out of all the BI software out there, Zoho Reports has the most features while being the easiest to use even if you're not so tech savvy! This makes it so easy for accounting and marketing personnel.

It was pretty difficult to figure out how to use. I have a little bit of background in MySQL and creating reports but a lot of this was lost on me. Luckily I had other people to explain it and help me out, but it's not very user-friendly to those who don't already have some prerequisite knowledge.
