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

"Technical support is quite responsive."

"With AI in Microsoft Power BI, when we ingest the data and use the GenAI tools at our disposal, AI helps automate the process and represent the visualizations to our customers and clients."

"It has provided customer purchase patterns and great visualization."

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

"It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."

"MS SQL & SQL Server Analysis Services."

"The flexibility of the program is valuable. We are able to add other information to the reporting information and expand upon it."

"Very intuitive and easy to use."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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

"When we have a big report with lots of data, the solution slows down quite a lot."

"Things can slow down if you create too many pages."

"I would like to see more AI capabilities in future releases. There's a strong interest in AI, including technologies like GPT, which facilitate real-time interactions."

"I would like for there to be some type of user manual that shows steps on how to navigate the solution."

"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."

"They asked you to pay if you want to synchronize more than eight times, you would have to go to a Power BI enterprise license, which is much more costly."

"The solution could improve by having more attractive graphical charts."

"One thing I would like to have is the scripting language, as they already have within Excel. It's already within a Microsoft business product, because Excel is the number one business product out there. So it would be nice to have the scripting capability in order to automate certain processes."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

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

"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."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

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

"The upgrades are not easy."

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

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

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

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're charged a monthly subscription fee of 500 rupees per person."

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

"It would be better if the price was cheaper."

"The price of the license can be better."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive."

"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."

"The solution's costs are quite reasonable given the range of features provided."

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

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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