Why choose Waydev over minware?

This question may be the opposite of what you were expecting.
Waydev has been around longer and you probably heard their name first.
They've invested heavily in report-specific application UI and data modeling for the most popular generic insights. minware opted for a BI system and data layer that are general-purpose and extensible.
If you only ever want the most popular metrics defined in a standard way and are willing to pay more for a product because of its name recognition, Waydev’s closed nature may be an acceptable trade-off. If not:
