Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal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 Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated.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

"Good CS and administration."

"In the early stage of an implementation, it not only helps decision making, but it allows people to have insight into problems with data so that they can go and get it corrected."

"It provides good visibility."

"Management reporting solution that's very stable and scalable."

"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."

"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."

"Power BI is a complete ecosystem. It has an integrated ETL tool and good connectivity with applications such as Office 365 and SQL. There are also solutions for RPA, such as Microsoft Power Automate and Microsoft Power Apps. Power BI now has integration with Power Query, which has an AI feature for text analytics. Text analytics is a very good feature. This feature is also there in Tableau, but I like it in Power BI because you can write something like, "What is the total sale in the Eastern region?", and it will give you the answer. For example, when you have different types of user opinions, you just run one algorithm and you will have the output that provides the number of positive and negative responses. You can even have a dashboard with positive remarks. This feature has been introduced recently. Power BI supports the DAX and Power Query M languages. These languages are making Power BI very strong in data analytics, and you can do many types of analysis."

"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"It's easy to use and maintain."

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

"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."

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

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

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

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

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"I would like to be able to use more predicting data science features without having to use R."

"The dashboards lack a user-friendly appearance."

"We identified a couple of issues in the reports. Some reports took too long to load, particularly at the end of our data refresh."

"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."

"There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."

"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."

"The report server feature is quite limited."

"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"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 stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"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."

"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 some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

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

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"Power BI comes with enterprise Microsoft licensing. So for the user, you don't have to pay, but you do have to pay a one-time cost."

"No comment."

"Regarding cost, the initial investment wasn't too high, but ongoing licensing could add up."

"The pricing is good. It's pretty competitive because I have worked on a few other tools as well, and Power BI is on the cheaper side."

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"I'm not very familiar with the licensing aspect, as it operates in the cloud as a SaaS (Software as a Service) model. Essentially, you pay based on cloud cost models, which might include hourly rates or similar billing structures introduced by Microsoft. Many organizations utilize it and pay for its services, somewhat like Office 365. It's a cloud-based platform that provides the necessary services, including support, for development, and you pay accordingly for the usage."

"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."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"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."
