"The product is stable."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use. It's very useful for non-engineers and it is the ultimate solution for providing information and insights. Power BI is the best visualization tool I have ever worked with."
"You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."
"Users already using Excel can generate new reports and dashboards within minutes."
"There was a lot of manual work involved with Excel, whereas once we moved on to Microsoft Power BI, it was a cleaner dashboard and it was faster too."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"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."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"It's scalable."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations."
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."
"It would be better if they had some video tutorials. Most people from an Excel background may struggle with measures in Microsoft BI."
"In Microsoft Excel, you are able to have tabs. However, in Microsoft BI you do not have this flexibility."
"The licensing needs improvement. There needs to be a middle option between Pro and Premium versions."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"Its desktop tool is a little bit memory CPU intensive, and it can be improved, but the machines nowadays come with a lot of memory. For the desktop users who are using it on the desktop, we recommend that they do an upgrade. It is a minor issue. We can fix it on the desktop."
"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."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"The product is expensive."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
"The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms."
"The product must be more transparent."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
