In spite of several benefits and functions of data analysis tools, there are some issues regarding the adoption of the tools. This research aims to study the barriers to the Adoption of Data Analysis tools focusing on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The research process consists of three stages: 1) Literature review 2) Observation and interview of 30 SMEs in Thailand, and 3) Analysis and conclusion. According to the results, barriers to the adoption of data analysis tools are technology barrier, data barrier, human barrier, and organization barrier. The approach to overcome these barriers is proposed.
