Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's very stable."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"The important feature is integration with source data. It connects to various ERP systems, including Workday, Intact, and others. It can also import actuals and compare them to PlanPoint quite easily."
"The integration with our payroll system to complete staff modeling during our budget and forecast processes."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its dashboard."
"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."
"Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time."
"The flexibility of the program is valuable. We are able to add other information to the reporting information and expand upon it."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"The product is stable."
"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."
"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."
"Better user interface (UI)."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Discovery (the data visualization module): Needs to catch up with BI leaders, such as MS and Tableau. E.g., sorting by amounts in column charts and page slicers to control all visuals."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"I'm looking for something that can make it much easier to incorporate Power BI visuals or dashboards into, let's say, Power Apps – custom Power Apps or anything like that. The most important thing would be to seamlessly embed reports in applications. For example, to have buttons that can be navigated through multiple solutions – from Power Apps to Power BI to SharePoint – via links or something like that."
"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint."
"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."
"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 data source definition is all over the place."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
