Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools.
"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."
"Being able to transfer data with the Power Query feature is great for teaching with about one to two hundred rows of data. I am also able to see the relationship between multiple tables and create various sheets and dashboards."
"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."
"Its connectivity with other Office applications, mostly with Excel, and the ability to deploy it very easily are the most valuable features. It comes sort of bundled with the cloud, so you don't need to set up a server and a standalone infrastructure. So, getting into the system or building something that you can deploy is very easy and very cheap. With other systems, you need to have a server, and you need to have a license for the server. The initial setup is very costly."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"I like data modeling. You can connect with your database, which is quite useful for me. It is a good tool if you have a large amount of data and you want to gather different data and interconnect it. The Power Query functionality is quite an interesting feature. If you have a query in Excel, you can also copy your query and run it in Power BI. Its dashboard is also very nice and not complicated. You don't need to be a developer to be able to use it. I am not an IT guy, and it is quite easy to use for somebody who is not an IT person."
"We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."
"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."
"Feature-wise, I feel that the solution's stability is good."
"There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."
"You do need to do some hard coding for certain things in Microsoft BI."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"These licenses are in US dollars. With a long-term license, the client is unaffected when the exchange rate goes up. However, if the exchange rate goes down, you don't get refunded from the excess money you've paid. I guess that is a risk you take in business."
"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"It is not a very scalable product."
