We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Sisense 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 most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"Provides good data flow related to the container and control flow."
"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."
"It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"There is also a chart store where we can download charts, which is extremely useful."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"It has allowed me to move my data to the cloud."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"Ability to work with very large data sources without the limitations of Excel."
"Support is very responsive and clearly one of the strengths of Sisense. I have always received a fast response and the staff is very helpful."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"It should be more user-friendly. There are very small or tiny icons that you need to move very carefully. If you go a little bit up and down, some of the values change. Its user interface should be improved. It should be like Tableau. Its performance is also slow and should be improved. I definitely feel some sort of speed issues with Power BI. The integration of Excel with Power BI would also be good."
"One thing I would like to have is the scripting language, as they already have within Excel. It's already within a Microsoft business product, because Excel is the number one business product out there. So it would be nice to have the scripting capability in order to automate certain processes."
"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."
"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."
"Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product."
"Things can slow down if you create too many pages."
"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
