Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."
"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."
"This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it."
"It is easy to work with and very chic."
"Implementation is very quick and the solution is very user-friendly."
"It's a pretty scalable product."
"It's a powerful platform."
"There is a lot of help and documentation on the Internet, so no special training is needed to use the source code."
"I rate InsightVM eight out of 10 for ease of setup. It takes two or three engineers to deploy. The solution requires some maintenance. It's mainly cleaning up data."
"Rapid7 InsightVM has given us a practical view of the vulnerabilities present in our organization."
"The performance is good."
"I like Rapid7's scan optimization options."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."
"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."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"Its desktop tool is a little bit memory CPU intensive, and it can be improved, but the machines nowadays come with a lot of memory. For the desktop users who are using it on the desktop, we recommend that they do an upgrade. It is a minor issue. We can fix it on the desktop."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"The mobile app is very poor."
"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."
"The authentication scan is not working."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"There needs to be much clearer instructions surrounding scanning."
"There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"InsightVM could be improved by providing passive scanning as an option."
"We found that after you passed an endpoint, it didn't always reflect it in the next scan. I'm not sure if it was a glitch or some issue with the product's software. That was never clear. That was always an issue and something that definitely needed improvement."
