Why do teams look beyond their current enterprise analytics tools?
Bold BI answers four common reasons teams re-evaluate an enterprise analytics platform, and each one maps to a documented capability.
Multiple data systems
SQL, NoSQL, file, cloud-storage and SaaS sources, queried in Live or Extract mode.
Delayed performance visibility
No-code, drag-and-drop design needs no developer for a chart change.
Conflicting team KPIs
Bold Data Hub keeps data from many sources in one central data store.
Embedding with security
Embedded dashboards use JWT token authentication and row-level security.
How does Bold BI bring enterprise data together?
Bold BI connects to your data, centralizes it in Bold Data Hub, and applies access control at publishing.
- 1
Connect your sources
143 documented data connectors across 22 categories, plus a Generic Web API connector for sources not on the list.
- 2
Centralize in Bold Data Hub
Bold Data Hub is the ETL component inside Bold BI. Transformations run as SQL into one central datastore.
- 3
Build without waiting on IT
Business teams drag and drop Modern widgets with no code. Developers keep the REST API and SDKs.
- 4
Control who sees what
Role-based access assigns view, edit or admin rights. Row-level security scopes what each person or tenant sees.
- 5
Deploy where your data lives
Cloud, On-Premises or Managed Private Cloud. On-Premises runs on Windows, Linux (RHEL, Ubuntu), Docker and Kubernetes.
How does Bold BI fit your existing technology stack?
Bold BI sits between your data and the people and applications that use it, from Bold Data Hub to iFrame, JavaScript SDK and REST API embedding.
Reference architecture

How does Bold BI work alongside existing enterprise systems?
Bold BI runs next to the identity systems, data infrastructure and teams an enterprise already has, rather than replacing them.
Same full platform, every edition
All 3 editions include the full platform and differ only in deployment. See Cloud BI and on-premises BI.
Fits existing identity systems
SSO through Azure AD, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 and ADFS, including Okta in Embedded Analytics but not in Cloud Analytics Server.
One tool, both audiences
Business teams build by drag and drop; developers extend with the REST API and JavaScript SDK.
Governance is native
Role-based access, row-level security and an audit trail, included in all 3 editions.
Which industries use Bold BI for enterprise analytics?
Bold BI has 10 solution pages, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing and retail, and dashboards export to PDF, Excel or CSV.
Which security and compliance standards does Bold BI hold?
Bold BI holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report and ISO 27001 certification, and encrypts data with 256-bit SSL / TLS 1.2 in transit and AES-256 at rest. Each standard below uses the wording of its legal page.
SOC 2 Type 2
Bold BI holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report, an audited report rather than a Type 1 assessment. See the SOC 2 overview or request a copy through the compliance request form.
HIPAA
Bold BI Embedded, On-Premise and Cloud products are considered a Business Associate under HIPAA. There is no official government-issued HIPAA certification; Bold BI is independently audited for HIPAA compliance (HIPAA overview).
ISO 27001
Bold BI holds ISO 27001 certification; see the security page.
GDPR
For GDPR, see the GDPR overview.
When is Bold BI enterprise analytics not a fit?
Bold BI is not a fit for Cloud use that needs customer-held encryption keys, air-gapped operation or SSO and multi-tenancy in Cloud Edition; see Cloud BI and on-premises BI.
| Edition | Operated by | Data location | Air-gapped | Customer-managed keys |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cloud | Bold BI | Managed regions | No | No |
| Managed Private Cloud | Bold BI | Customer-selected region | No | On request |
| On-Premises | You | Your own data center | Yes | You hold everything |
SSO and multi-tenancy on Cloud
Cloud Edition does not support OAuth or SAML SSO or multi-tenancy. Okta SSO through the OAuth and OpenID connectors is available in Bold BI Embedded Analytics but not in Cloud Analytics Server.
No direct Cloud migration
There is no direct migration from Cloud to self-hosted environments. Dashboards move by download and upload.
Localization on Cloud
Localization is available on-premises but not on the Syncfusion Managed Cloud Server (Cloud Edition).
