Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."

"Technical support is quite responsive."

"It is stable enough. It has a lot of powerful functions. It can also be customized with the DAX language. It is also intuitive enough and incremental. You can start with something simple, and then step-by-step, you can increase the reports and dashboards according to your needs."

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

"It's a straightforward setup."

"One of the key benefits of Power BI is how easy it is to develop reports."

"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."

"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."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"We can set any property dynamically."

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

"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."

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

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

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

Cons

"Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."

"When you go to the cloud, its licensing is not intuitive. It is a little bit complex. When you have to purchase a new license, it is difficult to understand on their website what exactly you need to pay and how you can group. It is something that is applicable to all Microsoft products. They're not always so simple and clear when it comes to licensing. Their support can also be better in terms of explaining how they resolved an issue and what steps they took to resolve it. They are able to resolve the issue, but they can be better at explaining the approach they took to resolve the issue. It could have something in the direction of machine learning. It can have some kind of integration with machine learning where you can ask for some reports with natural language."

"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."

"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."

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

"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."

"It should be more user-friendly and simple."

"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

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

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

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

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

"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 upgrades are not easy."

"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."

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

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are a few options available for purchasing a license. Typically the number of users you have will determine the price of the license. The more users you have the more you will pay."

"It is somewhere in the middle in terms of price. Licensing is quite clear."

"Its cost seems to be unreasonable if you have many users, but for a lesser number of users, it is reasonable. It is $10 per month. Clients easily accept this option, so they must think it is reasonable. It is quite cheap as compared to other tools, such as Tableau. One of the best things about this solution is that it has a trial version."

"I would rate them 4 out of 5 for their current pricing. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."

"I have not had a customer suggest the solution is too expensive. There are licenses to use the solution."

"Pricing, that's where Microsoft beats Tableau. It is priced much cheaper."

"The price of Microsoft BI is expensive. We found the price of Tableau to be less expensive."

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

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."

"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."

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
