Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal

Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows. This makes Power BI difficult to manage as loading times can reach one or two minutes, which is problematic today. There are challenges with scalability, requiring multiple pages in dashboards to manage these issues. Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated. Users, especially newcomers, find it unappealing and not user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."

"One of the most valuable features of Microsoft Power BI is its easy way of sharing data within the organization or outside."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Very intuitive and easy to use."

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

"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."

"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."

"The solution is quite scalable."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"It offers high processing power for report generation and is cost-effective."

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

Cons

"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 product could have better analytics capabilities."

"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."

"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."

"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."

"Although there are many visualizations, most of them are paid separately because they have been developed by private developers. The visualizations that come off the shelf are quite few."

"The real-time data refresh capabilities is one of the things I had issues with"

"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you purchase a license for a server, for users, or the professional version, you might not have to. The free version I think it can satisfy many customers' needs."

"It is free."

"Licensing is on a monthly basis, but I am not sure."

"All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."

"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."

"You don't need a license for development, but if you want to publish to external users, you need a license. The licensing is very costly, but I think that since the advantages and benefits of Power BI are so high, people are willing to pay. I can't blame them."

"It is a cheap solution for our needs."

"Our license is paid yearly and we have found that we have to be careful not to over-extend our usage in order to avoid upgrading our capacity plan."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
