Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."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 solution is stable."
"Easy to use and the visualization is valuable."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"Provides good data flow related to the container and control flow."
"When you connect any new device to the network, Rapid7 has the ability to detect the new device immediately. It can scan that device to detect if it has any vulnerability. It tells you what is vulnerable and what has been misconfigured. It also tells you what is the risk of that misconfiguration or lack of patches and how to resolve the problem."
"I really love the new platform. It is really easy to understand, use, and deploy."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"The most valuable features are its reporting capabilities and the host discovery functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the site scanning, where we can provide a complete subnet and what it is we need to scan on those devices."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"Has great reporting features."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Real-time updating needs improvement."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"The handling of the workspaces can be made more granular for user access rights. It can be managed a little bit better in terms of the connection to Active Directory so that we have more granular access rights. I am not sure if this is really possible or if we can solve it differently, but we need a lot of workspaces, and we are not sure how we can deal with it from the access rights perspective."
"Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way."
"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"It would be great to have a mobile application client. Currently, you have to use a mobile web browser on a device, but it is not similar to the desktop web browser in terms of user experience. It would be nice to have a mobile application to access the platform."
"The on-premise updates could improve from Rapid7 InsightVM."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"The product does not have the capability to do dynamic scanning of non-web applications."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"In terms of improvements, its price could be better. Our main issue with Rapid7 is that it is too expensive. You can only sell it to enterprise accounts. In terms of new features, Rapid7 came up with a product called InsightIDR a couple of years ago, which is a good SIEM solution. We expect that Rapid7 will work on some sort of integration between InsightVM and InsightIDR, where vulnerability or anomaly detected by InsightVM can be reported in InsightIDR in some sort of real-time. Rapid7 doesn't patch. For example, if you have a vulnerability, some products can scan and also do the patching, but Rapid7 does not do the patching. It would be nice if it can also patch."
