Microsoft Power BI vs Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer comparison

"It is very well integrated with other Microsoft products, including PowerApps and Excel, as well as Access, so it fits well into our workflow."

"It provides good visibility."

"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."

"The interface is very fluid."

"You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."

"We like the drag and drop interactability visualization. We really like that. It's user-friendly."

"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."

"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."

"The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing."

"It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it."

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

"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."

"The solution should increase the API functionality so that we can use Microsoft Power BI for other purposes and aggregate things."

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

"Microsoft BI comes under pressure when there is a lot of data to be crunched. It gets slower and slower, and the functionality becomes a bit of a problem. The performance goes down with data being fed into the system. The infrastructure requirement also increases if you have to increase the performance. This is the area that can be improved in my opinion. Initially, the product is good, but over the years, when data gets accumulated, it becomes a problem unless the old data is kind of archived and is no longer shown on the visualization. It has a feature by using which a user can query for a report through simple questions to a bot. So, if I want to look for the customer share of revenue by geography, I just simply state that in the chatbot. If I wanted it in a pie chart, then you say, "Please show it to me in a pie chart." It comes out well for basic charts. This feature should be improvised more so that people can very quickly get customized reports on the go."

"The reporting could be a bit better."

"The solution could improve the mobile application design. It is difficult to use compared to the desktop version."

"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer needs to improve its performance and HTML reports."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"All of the licenses are on an annual basis, but Microsoft will amortize it to an extent. If it's five years, they'll include the possible interest they might have the following year. Ideally, their licensing scheme is an annual license, but they make it easier for some of our clients to take a five-year license but package everything inside for them to buy the license for five years."

"I rate the product pricing a ten."

"This solution came free, it was offered by Microsoft with our E3 license."

"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 pricing is very reasonable compared to any other tool."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer is more expensive than its alternatives. You need to pay additional costs for implementation."
