Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves​.""I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs.""The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity.""It is easy to use. It has got a desktop where people can develop their own dashboards. Basically, we have figured out how to connect finance contracts and all programs for the government agency. So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view.""Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially.""Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools.""Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility.""It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards.""I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten.""The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy.""The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive.""We can set any property dynamically.""We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable.""The designer is the most valuable feature."

Cons
"The Microsoft BI interface should be simpler and more user-friendly. I find it very difficult to move between their data sources and their analytics section.""The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code.""I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions.""I believe there is room for improvement in terms of authentication and certain functionalities in Power BI. For instance, adjusting the width of columns is not easily done, as there is only an option to enable or disable automatic adjustment. This can be a significant drawback for clients who desire more flexibility.""Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS.""Microsoft BI typically connects to a database, often SQL Server, but it's also capable of connecting to multiple databases, pulling data from them, and allowing for data consolidation. You can then aggregate and generate dashboards and reports from this combined data. Personally, I wouldn't claim to have the expertise to suggest significant changes or additional features, as it functions quite well as is.""Trend data and dashboards need improvement.""In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.""Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement.""The upgrades are not easy.""The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations.""There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported.""I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved.""I would like to see better support for big data.""A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

    Any company (be it technology, manfucaturing, human resource, ecommerce, SME etc) always has the need for Business Intelligence to some or the other extent. If cost is one of the consideration factor, then the 2 BI tools which are at the forefront are Pentaho and Jaspersoft. But, often the same companies are caught up in an imbrogilo as to which tool to use, what are the technology/and end business user wise differences/ do i actually need to purchase commercial edition, is there any work around etc. Differences :- In the below mentioned points, I have tried to cover functionality wise the differences a. Reports :- Jaspersoft is known for its picture pixel perfect reporting. Jasper uses ireport for designing the reports. Hence, for having reports, Jaspersoft is the most ideal candidate. Pentaho uses Pentaho Report Designer. b. Dashboards :- Pentaho provides much more capabililties, interactivity in terms of dashboards. Dashboards designed in Pentaho are far more superior in functionality, aesthetically as compared to Jaspersoft. Pentaho CE uses CDE/CDF, Pentaho EE uses PDD . Dashboard functionality is present only in the Enterprise edition of Jaspersoft. c. Pentaho is having an intermediate layer known as Xactions & hence providing much more flexibility in terms of plugin designing, integration with applications, having out of box experience etc. Xactions supports scripting and scheduling of scripts execution. Jaspersoft dosent provide that much of flexibility in terms of… Read more →
