We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Oracle HFM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Ease of development and maintenance."
"It's pretty easy to set up the product."
"The scalability is good. We have 20 people in my organization using this solution and plan to increase usage."
"In the early stage of an implementation, it not only helps decision making, but it allows people to have insight into problems with data so that they can go and get it corrected."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"The amount of customization that you can do is good, and it's relatively straightforward to do."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"The fact that you can visualize items is great."
"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."
"The tool is stable."
"It is a very user-friendly software."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"You can bring in data from any source and from multiple sources, and you can consolidate that data in HFM."
"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"Compared to other applications, like Tableau, Microsoft BI doesn't have as many functions that allow you to do more in-depth analysis and represent the findings."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."
"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
