We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and RapidMiner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, SAP and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It's a great tool for visualization data, and it's free for engineers."
"The reports are easy to create."
"It provides easy integration with Office tools."
"We like the drag and drop interactability visualization. We really like that. It's user-friendly."
"The data can be accessed from anywhere."
"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"RapidMiner is a no-code machine learning tool. I can install it on my local machine and work with smaller datasets. It can also connect to databases, allowing me to build models directly on the data stored there. RapidMiner offers a wider range of operators than other tools like Dataiku, making it a better option for my needs."
"The documentation for this solution is very good, where each operator is explained with how to use it."
"The most valuable feature is what the product sets out to do, which is extracting information and data."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"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 performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."
"When I create measures, sometimes the error messages aren't clear. It makes me spend more time searching for solutions. I need the error messages to be more specific. So, I would like clearer error messages when creating measures."
"For someone who is new, I think that Power BI can be a little complicated."
"I would like to see more integration capabilities."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"RapidMiner isn't cheap. It's a complete solution, but it's costly."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"In terms of the UI and SaaS, the user interface with KNIME is more appealing than RapidMiner."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
