Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design. I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau."
"The solution has a good toggling feature."
"The querying capabilities are the most valuable because they allow me to build many automations. We have many workflows and many databases that we work on a daily basis. They need to be updated quite quickly. In order to not to take much of our time doing these updates manually, I have set up these automations using the systems. The process is just to ingest the data and reprocess it. Every time I click a button, everything is updated in almost real time. It is by far the easiest system not only for querying but also for data modeling, data visualization, and deployment. It is light years ahead of Tableau and even Microsoft Excel to do these kinds of things. It is very easy to use and set up, and it has a lot of videos on the internet."
"The interface is very easy to use."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."
"It is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"It's a straightforward setup."
"It is very easy to use and integrate. There are connectors for every technology."
"The search function for spam is like a google search. You just enter and it will quickly show you the results."
"The solution has proven to be quite stable."
"Splunk's strongest suit is its user interface. We can integrate multiple solutions and adjust settings in the Splunk interface."
"The flexibility of the search capability is most valuable. You can use it for more than just a basic log aggregator. It is powerful in that regard."
"The ability to rapidly diagnose problems in production and non-production, across hundreds of log files, is the most valuable feature."
"The integration is seamless with many devices and operating systems."
"UBA, User Behavior Analytics, is a key feature."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."
"A few features available in Tableau are not available in Power BI. For example. Tableau has the ability to make up the physical layer and all other stuff at runtime. In Power BI, we have to develop a proper physical layer to connect it. The limitation that we normally face is related to the direct query mode. When it comes to the direct query mode, most of the functionality is not working, which is an issue for us. We have to use the direct query mode frequently because the client needs real-time data. They should work on this limitation. There are a lot of other technical things that need to be improved. I am also following the Power BI platform and Microsoft Support Center platform on the web where users have put their requirements. Microsoft is also working on improving this solution. In every update, they add new features to this solution."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"The orchestration module for refreshing data flows is something that is missing and we have to do it manually."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"The user access control could be much more granular, so that the admins can control r/w/x access for specific features of the product like dashboards, etc."
"Previously, they developed custom connectors or add-ons for a lot of applications. But that number can be upgraded still. There are a lot of applications in the world that are not supported."
"We find that the maintenance process could be a lot better."
"The initial setup is complex, but this is necessary. We needed to take into consideration how to direct log files from thousands of machines to Splunk, and how to ingest those files."
"They should make data onboarding easier."
"It takes time to train people."
"The product must improve insider threat detection."
"I think the tech support response time could be a bit better. Sometimes I need to wait more than 24 hours for a response to my tickets."
