Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."
"Connectivity, installation, and configuration are pretty fast and seamless compared to Cognos."
"It's a straightforward setup."
"This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it."
"It is quite easy to use and it helps me to achieve the projects that I've been assigned."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures."
"We can see that it's really improved the way end users can do their own graphs and pick their own fields of information and present that in a nice way."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"This solution is very easy to use and easy to install."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"We can create our own templates."
"Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds."
"There could be an integrated AI that can automatically analyze some of your data and highlight or provide suggestions. For example, when you are looking at a data set, it can suggest putting it into a certain type of chart so that you gain different insights or a trend line. You would almost have templates that it would recommend for you."
"I would like to be able to use more predicting data science features without having to use R."
"The DAX in Microsoft BI is quite difficult."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"There are not enough templates, and the reporting is weak with this solution."
"They should improve the cybersecurity feature of the solution."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"All products have room for increased security and Rapid7 InsightVM is no exception."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
