We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Salesforce Einstein Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Everything that's in M Query and DAX is the heart of Power BI because with these tools you can make up for a lot of other missing features."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable."
"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."
"It is a powerful tool that helps our data analysis processes."
"It is low-cost and easy to deploy. It is fully-featured."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"It's scalable."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"I would like for there to be some type of user manual that shows steps on how to navigate the solution."
"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint."
"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"Creating dashboards could be easier."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"The product must be more transparent."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
