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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Previously we used Excel, which took a long time - two or three weeks - to bring the data into a uniform format, whereas BI can do the same job in a day."

"Premium features that used to cost $5,000 per company per month recently became a lot more accessible. Microsoft recently implemented a per user feature in Power BI Premium; it's $20 per month."

"Easy to use. End-users can make changes to the graphics."

"Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."

"The way data is presented is very valuable. The amount of information that we can get at a glance is also valuable. You can then drill-down and see data from many different angles in the same chart by selecting certain things. Based on the selection, everything changes automatically. If we have four parameters in a particular item, when you select a parameter, the remaining charts on that page automatically change for that particular parameter."

"The querying capabilities are the most valuable because they allow me to build many automations. We have many workflows and many databases that we work on a daily basis. They need to be updated quite quickly. In order to not to take much of our time doing these updates manually, I have set up these automations using the systems. The process is just to ingest the data and reprocess it. Every time I click a button, everything is updated in almost real time. It is by far the easiest system not only for querying but also for data modeling, data visualization, and deployment. It is light years ahead of Tableau and even Microsoft Excel to do these kinds of things. It is very easy to use and set up, and it has a lot of videos on the internet."

"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."

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

More Microsoft Power BI pros

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

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

"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

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

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

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"The reports I prepare using TIBCO Jaspersoft are quite user-friendly, and the look and feel are much better compared to other report generation tools."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."

"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."

"Visualization systems are still relatively young."

"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section."

"It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."

"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."

"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."

"They can provide a user-friendly and easy way to use this tool for people who don't know about programming or technical things. It will be quite good if they can improve the look and feel and make it simpler to operate. They can make it easier to create some of the reports. They can also include predefined templates that you can directly use."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward."

"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."

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

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

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

"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."

"The upgrades are not easy."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have premium licenses, but you can use it for free. You can share the content with anyone else, so you can use it for free."

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

"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."

"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."

"In the beginning, the solution cost approximately $1,000 per month, we have a Microsoft startup subscription. There is a subscription pack for startups company which we are able to have for one year."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."

"The premium licensing is approximately $5,000 per month which is pretty expensive."

"While Power BI is generally a paid product, particularly for enterprise features and scalability, you can start with the free version and still achieve significant functionality."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."
