We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Sisense 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."Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."
"The stability is good."
"Provides data feeds for enterprise KPI reporting."
"Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes."
"Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable."
"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful."
"A very simple setup: Easy to download, install, and updates are pain free."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"Visually displaying data."
"Allows us to execute heavy, complex computations on the fly so customers can slice and dice the data based on their business needs."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"I would like them to provide a license that just allows us to see dashboards. What I don't like about this solution is that in order to just watch a dashboard, you need a license. Currently, you need to purchase a full license of Power BI Pro just to see something, which is not attractive. If you have a license, you can see a shared dashboard, but you can also build a dashboard or you can collaborate with other people. However, if you only want to see a dashboard, there is no license for that. I only want to see the dashboard, and I don't want to do anything more than watching the information on the dashboard. There is no license that allows you to see a shared dashboard. This is one of the areas of opportunity because I would like a lot of people to be able to see a shared dashboard, not to interact with it or to collaborate online with it. I would like to see more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources. Given the fact that everything is related to Microsoft Azure and all services available on Microsoft Azure, I see that they're building more connections to Microsoft Azure services instead of other non-Microsoft services. I understand the strategy, but it would be good to have more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources."
"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."
"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."
"It should have more integrations."
"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."
"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
