Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Tech support is very helpful."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"The initial setup is simple to do."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"One of the most valuable features of Power BI is the ease of use. It is comfortable and there is not a steep learning curve for this solution. If you have some idea of the data and basic visualization ideas, you can use this solution comfortably."
"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"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."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"There could be an integrated AI that can automatically analyze some of your data and highlight or provide suggestions. For example, when you are looking at a data set, it can suggest putting it into a certain type of chart so that you gain different insights or a trend line. You would almost have templates that it would recommend for you."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"Real-time updating needs improvement."
"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"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."
"The UI is the main improvement that could be made. Specifically, there is something called DAX, in Power BI, which is complicated compared to calculated fields used in Tableau."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
