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.

Use advanced data preparation features in analytics projects

Microsoft Power BI can be quite slow when working with data sources that aren't from a data warehouse or a more robust source or data artifact. When working with exports, which we do frequently, the load takes considerable time. This occurs with any BI tool, and it's related to our working methods due to limitations within the area. In HR, we typically use exports because we have numerous data sources. Ideally, Microsoft Power BI would have a no-code or low-code solution for the data sources to be built by the actual developers or development team. This would eliminate the need to work directly with exports. We would have a middle ground to create a warehouse without all the infrastructure, as building a warehouse within an organization can require substantial resources, both in time and personnel.

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."

"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."

"The interface is very easy to use."

"I like Microsoft BI's drill-down feature and its overall ease of use."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"Ease of development and maintenance."

"It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."

"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."

"Everything that's in M Query and DAX is the heart of Power BI because with these tools you can make up for a lot of other missing features."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

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."

"The accounting data needs improvement."

"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."

"Microsoft Power BI was born native on the cloud, however, it's quite difficult when it has to connect to on-premise data sources."

"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."

"It should be more user-friendly. There are very small or tiny icons that you need to move very carefully. If you go a little bit up and down, some of the values change. Its user interface should be improved. It should be like Tableau. Its performance is also slow and should be improved. I definitely feel some sort of speed issues with Power BI. The integration of Excel with Power BI would also be good."

"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."

"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."

"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is reasonably priced."

"Make it low in cost. It is a no-brainer!"

"It's straightforward licensing."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"They are charging us by users in storage, and there is a license fee. My financial people handle all that. The client has already worked out a contract with Microsoft, and basically, we're getting government prices."

"Microsoft BI is free for the personal edition, but there is also a paid-for professional version."

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."
