"The product is stable."
"The amount of customization that you can do is good, and it's relatively straightforward to do."
"We find the solution offers good stability."
"In the process of using data there is the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL). For extracting we are using another software, for transforming we are using our own coding in C#, and then we use Microsoft BI for loading the information. Microsoft BI displays information very well."
"It has greatly improved our reporting capabilities."
"Microsoft BI is better than most solutions we have. It's pretty easy to conduct analysis with it."
"Easy to use. End-users can make changes to the graphics."
"Allows users to build their own solutions without as much reliance on technology staff."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"Compared to other applications, like Tableau, Microsoft BI doesn't have as many functions that allow you to do more in-depth analysis and represent the findings."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."
"I have found using Microsoft BI is not easy. For example, trying to use the auto-refresh feature is not simple."
"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 would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
