Certified = listed on the ERP vendor's official marketplace. Prebuilt = productised vendor-built connector. iPaaS = official integration-platform template. API = integration is possible via documented APIs but no productised connector was evidenced. A dash means we found no evidence — not that no integration exists.

A Embedded BI add-on is third-party software that extends your ERP with dedicated embedded bi capabilities. Self-service dashboards and analytics layered on top of ERP data. Rather than building this functionality with custom development, you integrate a purpose-built product that connects to your ERP's data.
Native ERP modules often cover the basics but lack the depth specialist teams need. A dedicated embedded bi add-on typically offers richer features, faster time-to-value, and ongoing vendor investment focused on that single problem — while still reading from and writing back to your ERP as the system of record.
Most established embedded bi vendors offer certified integrations for the major ERP platforms (buyers commonly search for things like "embedded BI NetSuite"). Always confirm support for your specific ERP product and version before shortlisting.
Start from your requirements, then check each vendor against integration depth, ERP-version support, data-sync model, reference customers on your ERP, pricing and implementation effort. Use the checklist on this page as a starting point.
