Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."I like Microsoft BI's drill-down feature and its overall ease of use."
"You can learn a lot of things quickly using resources like ChatGPT or Microsoft's own solutions, which are very helpful within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"If you are not very technical this tool could be very useful."
"The visuals are great and make everything look very professional. We can change the look and feel or manipulate the data according to our requirements. It's extremely flexible."
"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"I also find connecting to different data sources is quite simple. Other solutions we were using before were complicated."
"It is easy to use. It has got a desktop where people can develop their own dashboards. Basically, we have figured out how to connect finance contracts and all programs for the government agency. So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view."
"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool."
"We value the collaboration and governance features because it's a comprehensive platform that covers everything from data extraction to modeling operations in the ML language. RapidMiner is competitive in the ML space."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."
"The solution could improve by simplifying the user interface and adding integration or compatibility with APA."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"Improve the online data services."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"One challenge I encountered while implementing RapidMiner was the lack of documentation. Since there aren't as many users, finding resources to learn the tool was initially difficult. To overcome this hurdle, I believe RapidMiner could improve by providing more tutorials tailored for new users."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
