Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported
The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Supports AI initiatives in terms of predictive analytics
The only issue is with permissions. Sometimes, despite granting granular permissions, dashboards are visible to people who shouldn't have access. It's difficult to understand why the permissions slip out. Sometimes dashboards are visible to stakeholders even though they should not have permission. It's a bit difficult to understand why the permissions slip out. The dashboards lack a user-friendly appearance, and the permissions should be easier to understand. At this point, we have to go through a lot of details. It takes a lot of time to understand the permissions, so if there were better options available within the Power BI setup, it would be quite beneficial, especially for admins. So, there should be a more user-friendly dashboard appearance and easier-to-understand permissions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources."
"Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools."
"The dashboards of Microsoft BI are easy to use."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."
"In my opinion, Microsoft BI is a low-cost solution, and it could be an interesting solution for a tourism company."
"Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."
"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."
"The report server feature is quite limited."
"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"It would be better if they had some video tutorials. Most people from an Excel background may struggle with measures in Microsoft BI."
"When it comes to improvement, I would say there could be more tutorials for students in universities who are just learning it. And it wouldn't have to be just for students in universities. It might also be for the people who use it in the real world."
"Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."
"The interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."
"As far as I am aware you do not need a license for the solution."
"The pricing is very reasonable compared to any other tool."
"I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."
"Its pricing is reasonable for the desktop stuff, but for enterprise-level, it is a little expensive."
"We have a premium Power BI license in-house that's quite an expensive license. It's $10 a month for four users and then I think 35,000 at the premium rate."
"There is room for at least 45% discount as compared to the initial price."
"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."
