Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very stable."
"Automated reporting."
"Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward."
"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."
"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."
"Microsoft BI's dashboards are helpful."
"Users already using Excel can generate new reports and dashboards within minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good. It is very easy to use. You can easily make your dashboard."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Being able to drill down when using OfficeConnect needs work."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."
"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."
"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 did have some issues building the Microsoft blog."
"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."
"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."
"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."
