"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"There is a feature in Microsoft BI that allows JSON data to SQL on the dashboards effectively and quickly."
"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."
"The drag and drop facility to easily change the data correctly is the most valuable feature. I am happy to see visualizations. It's easier to talk about and make people understand what is going on."
"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."
"It is quite easy to use and it helps me to achieve the projects that I've been assigned."
"What's most valuable in this tool is that it gives its users detailed error messages. It's a very stable data analytics tool, and it offers good scalability."
"The product is scalable."
"The reports in Rapid7 InsightVM are useful when compared to competitors."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"The most valuable feature is the vulnerability scan."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its dashboards."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."
"Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product."
"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."
"Right now, their premium pricing is keeping us out of the premium market. The premium price per user just doesn't make sense for us, but we haven't reached the limit of 500 users to justify the premium."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"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."
"One area for improvement in Microsoft Power BI is serviceability. Compared to one of its competitors: Tableau, there are a lot of things which you cannot do in this tool, that can be done in Tableau."
"This solution integrates with another module in Metasploit, that doesn't exist in the other solutions. It is subscribed to on our roadmap, but we chose to implement both Nexppose and AppSpider."
"The reporting has room for improvement. You cannot customize any report. If I need a specific requirement, I have to create a new report for it."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The drawback is that it is still not a fully SaaS solution, so you must deploy a console."
"We have some issues with how it scans patches."
"We'd like the agent to cover more compliance issues."
