Can build reports easily and offers unlimited view access of them in a single dashboard

Ivanti Xtraction provides reports in a single dashboard. We can ask the executive leadership to review it. It has unlimited view access. You can view the reports but won't be able to edit them. The solution makes it easy to build reports and send them. It has filters, and you can filter the results based on time, date, etc. The view will go back to normal once refreshed.

Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

Pros

"Ivanti Xtraction provides reports in a single dashboard. We can ask the executive leadership to review it. It has unlimited view access. You can view the reports but won't be able to edit them. The solution makes it easy to build reports and send them. It has filters, and you can filter the results based on time, date, etc. The view will go back to normal once refreshed."

"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."

"The dashboard is very nice and it is very simple to understand every single component."

"Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward."

"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see."

"The various different ETL tools within it and the ability to have different data refreshes and scheduled refreshes [real-time data refresh capabilities] have most significantly improved the data analysis processes."

"The ROI is high for small teams or basic use cases with limited datasets."

"It is easy to work with and very chic."

Cons

"The tool's graphics need to be updated."

"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."

"I would like to see more AI capabilities in future releases. There's a strong interest in AI, including technologies like GPT, which facilitate real-time interactions."

"If I have to update data automatically, where I have to pin the gateway, it doesn't update. There is a scheduled refresh functionality so that it refreshes automatically, but I find it very hard to make it work."

"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."

"From any improvement perspective, I want the product to be made available to users free of cost...The stability and scalability of the product can be better."

"The formatting template could be improved."

"Microsoft Power BI can be confusing, because it has two languages that you need to learn if you want to use it, and this makes it more difficult for nontechnical users."

"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"I used the tool's free version."

"The price of the license can be better."

"I would rate them 4 out of 5 for their current pricing. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"Power BI premium is really expensive for our market. A lot of small and medium companies would like to purchase it, but they can't afford it."

"The solution is less expensive than other PowerBI tools, which is why most people go with it, although it does cost more than MSBI tools."

"The license is on a yearly basis."

"It is somewhere in the middle in terms of price. Licensing is quite clear."
