Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Changes to corporate structure, account codes are updated in all versions including prior years, hence "one-version of truth" as claimed."
"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."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."
"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."
"Automated reporting."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"It's very stable."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."
"Technical support is quite good."
"The stability is great and continues to get better and better."
"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."
"This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design. I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau."
"Users continue to become more advanced and are looking for more advanced solutions."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"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."
"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."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"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."
"The UI looks awkward once the graphs have been generated in the console. This is what Microsoft can work on."
"It should be more user-friendly. There are very small or tiny icons that you need to move very carefully. If you go a little bit up and down, some of the values change. Its user interface should be improved. It should be like Tableau. Its performance is also slow and should be improved. I definitely feel some sort of speed issues with Power BI. The integration of Excel with Power BI would also be good."
"Not having to login again after a mobile app upgrade. A simple login on mobile would be great."
"The graphic interface could be better."
"It needs more graphics and overlays."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."
"The data source definition is all over the place."
