Livia Vasilescu

HR Manager at PPB

Use advanced data preparation features in analytics projects

Microsoft Power BI can be quite slow when working with data sources that aren't from a data warehouse or a more robust source or data artifact. When working with exports, which we do frequently, the load takes considerable time. This occurs with any BI tool, and it's related to our working methods due to limitations within the area. In HR, we typically use exports because we have numerous data sources. Ideally, Microsoft Power BI would have a no-code or low-code solution for the data sources to be built by the actual developers or development team. This would eliminate the need to work directly with exports. We would have a middle ground to create a warehouse without all the infrastructure, as building a warehouse within an organization can require substantial resources, both in time and personnel.

Has delivered visually appealing reports and improved user interaction

The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward. This was one of the concerns with TIBCO Jaspersoft. The limitations include compatibility with some drivers where we do not have adequate JDBC drivers, and because of that, I am not able to make the connection pool. I do see a negative side in terms of support. I am a little disappointed because when we report any defect, it takes time to get a resolution. There are also limitations on some connectors where we do not have connectivity established. These are the few issues I faced while using TIBCO Jaspersoft.

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

"The solution integrates with other Microsoft solutions very well."

"It's a powerful platform."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility, how many ways you can interrogate the data, and the the graphical visualization."

"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."

"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"It's easy to use and maintain."

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

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."

"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."

"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."

"I find the solution to be 70 percent stable."

"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."

"The issue with the data refresh frequency in Microsoft Power BI is that it's not frequent enough."

"here are still better UI designs they can go through. I'm assuming they are focusing more on capabilities rather than look-and-feel designs."

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

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

"The upgrades are not easy."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

"Microsoft BI is not expensive."

"I am satisfied with its price. Its price is very less as compared to Tableau and QlikView."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive. Compared to the price of other BI products, the price is very fair."

"It is reasonably priced."

"Microsoft BI is free for the personal edition, but there is also a paid-for professional version."

"The Report Server is pretty expensive on-premise. But as long companies are happy to use the cloud version, that's very cost effective."

"I rate the product pricing a ten."

"Remove the cost of a licence to show a dashboard within SharePoint. Why should readers of a dashboard have to pay to view? "

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

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

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