Whether you consider Business Analytics a subset of Business Intelligence (as I do) or, instead, as something "beyond BI," the top vendor is SAS followed by IBM SPSS and a host of smaller, more specialized vendors. You can do a fair amount of business analytics with software from Business Objects (the overall BI market-share leader), Oracle, Microsoft, Microstrategy, and Information Builders, in some instances via integrated external tools such as the R statistical programming environment.
Tools whose capabilities are restricted to reporting and pivot-table (OLAP) analyses such as Tableau and QlikView are not generally classed as Business Analytics tools.
Try out Bime, V2.0 was very recently released which includes loads of improved features. Connects directly to Google Analytics enabling you to perform web analysis as well as business analysis. Try out the free trial http://bimeanalytics.com/pricing-plans
If your focus is on data analysis, then I would recommend Tableau. It is very intuitive and can bring many insights. If you are looking for speed, try QlikView.
