"Microsoft BI was very helpful for me because I had a huge variety of connections. It is very convenient to build reports, even if somebody has no experience using BI tools or data visualizations. Additionally, the performance is very good when generating reports."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"The solution is easy to set up and implement."
"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."
"Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."
"I think the visualization part is valuable."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"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."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"It is not the right tool to do deeper analysis or predictions. When you have some data and you want to do some deep analysis, there is no feature to help you with this."
"Microsoft is behind IBM when it comes to security features."
"When it comes to improvement, I would say there could be more tutorials for students in universities who are just learning it. And it wouldn't have to be just for students in universities. It might also be for the people who use it in the real world."
"The look and feel should be updated in terms of the types of dashboards and graphs that you can produce. They aren't as visual as some of its competitors."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"The initial installation is difficult."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"The product is expensive."
"The product must be more transparent."
"I would advise others not to customize because they rolled out the newer versions, which are every six months. There had to be some significant testing and verification that happened. It is important to have a strong third-party provider that is very experienced. We used Deloitte, but we evaluated Accenture, KPMG, and IBM, but we decided on Deloitte and that was a good decision for us. Having a partner who has a center of excellence or experts that could give you a lot of the tips that they've learned could jumpstart your deployment and stick to the standards."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
