Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"Our setup is very straight forward and can be done in a matter of hours."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"We can see that it's really improved the way end users can do their own graphs and pick their own fields of information and present that in a nice way."
"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."
"I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"It is kept very current, and there is an update literally every month. However, the interface changes quite randomly with no documentation, which is difficult at the domain and architectural level where you're planning things and engaging the business. Things change frequently, and you wonder where has the button for the new report gone. They should provide better documentation on interface changes. It should be better optimized. It is supposed to be a data integration tool, but it is doing relatively simple queries. It has its limitations. For example, you can only pull a number of columns. So, there is room for optimization on its ability to integrate multiple data sources. The desktop tool is very memory-intensive, and again, this is not documented clearly. It requires a heavy CPU and memory use, and it causes your operating systems to become unstable. I would like to see the ability to create datasets within Power BI. Microsoft is promoting Azure as a cloud solution, but it is dependent upon a desktop component, which seems a little bit deceptive. Data set is the basic element that you report from, but it has to be created on the desktop and then published to the cloud. So, you're in the cloud, and you create a data structure or the data flow, but you can't report from that. You have to leave the cloud, go to your desktop, create the data set on your desktop, and publish it to the cloud. You go back to the cloud and create your report by using that published data set, which is very non-intuitive. If you go to the Microsoft Power BI community, this is a common complaint across the entire community."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"I find the solution to be 70 percent stable."
"Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds."
"The solution could be quicker at rendering data."
"I think because I'm moving more into RPA, I'd definitely like to see integration across the RPA, Power BI, or Tableau platforms, because that integration could then make automation and mundane reporting much faster."
"It is not a very scalable product."
