"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The user experience is easy. Users get familiar with it quickly."

"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."

"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."

"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."

"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"We would like it if they added more Python libraries in the Power BI service. For Power BI service right now, you can use Python, but it is limited to a few libraries or a few packages from Python."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."

"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."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
