Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."
"I liked that Microsoft Power BI handles a large amount of data. I can handle hundreds of rows from Postgres in a few minutes. I also like how it detects the relationship between the tables without explicitly saying that. It just detects the relationship automatically. That made it easier to work with the data."
"The one feature most of our customers like is data visualization. When we were doing BI directly from SQL, most users found it challenging to create their own reports. Power BI has self-serve analytics that the end-users can do themselves. On most projects, people are primarily using data visualization and self-serve analytics."
"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good. It is very easy to use. You can easily make your dashboard."
"This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it."
"Connectivity, installation, and configuration are pretty fast and seamless compared to Cognos."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."
"Compared to other applications, like Tableau, Microsoft BI doesn't have as many functions that allow you to do more in-depth analysis and represent the findings."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
