We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Teradata Data Lab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question."
"The solution has a good toggling feature."
"Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"Provides a full platform (database, ETL, reporting, analysis, and so on)"
"I find Power BI's reporting feature the most valuable. The solution has improved a lot. There are new features getting added day by day. In the past, they didn't even have the printing feature, but now they have it."
"It gives you an edge if you are on the Microsoft platform. If you have been using Microsoft products for a long time or if you have the Microsoft infrastructure, this is the right tool for you. It has seamless integration with Microsoft SQL Server and other sources, and you get the best of the three things (SSIS, SSAS, and SSRS) in one suite."
"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI."
"The stability is good."
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"It's not user-friendly; more tutorials, training, and better documentation would be helpful."
"Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik."
"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."
"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."
"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"If I have to update data automatically, where I have to pin the gateway, it doesn't update. There is a scheduled refresh functionality so that it refreshes automatically, but I find it very hard to make it work."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code."
"Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better."
