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 feature is integration with Python.""Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design. I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau.""Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.""Easy to use and the visualization is valuable.""Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable.""As it was my first time using Power BI, I can say that it was fairly easy to learn, especially if you already know BI-type tools.""It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on.""The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."

Cons
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into.""I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited.""The solution could improve the mobile application design. It is difficult to use compared to the desktop version.""Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data.""It has come a long way in terms of how it was working two years ago, but there are some things that you still can't do with it. For example, permission management and user access management are still a bit limited. It is basically based on the idea that everybody from the organization can see everything or limit the type of data they can see. If I want you to see only one report and the other guy to see another report, I can't do it. There should be a better way to manage permissions and users. It should also support external users much better.""I would like to be able to use more predicting data science features without having to use R.""These licenses are in US dollars. With a long-term license, the client is unaffected when the exchange rate goes up. However, if the exchange rate goes down, you don't get refunded from the excess money you've paid. I guess that is a risk you take in business.""The solution could improve the extraction and transformation of data. For example, you transform the data and then send it to Microsoft BI without having to use your own API. We are only providing the API to Power BI, and then Power BI is doing the job."

  • "MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

  • "I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."
  • "Remove the cost of a licence to show a dashboard within SharePoint. Why should readers of a dashboard have to pay to view? ​"
  • "Make it low in cost. It is a no-brainer!"
  • "Globally, we evaluated a number of products, including Salesforce's product, Microsoft won on the ground of simple functionally and cost."
