We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Essbase, and Salesforce Einstein Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Tech support is very helpful."
"The stability is good."
"We have found that the reporting and publishing are great."
"The drill-down capabilities and automatic charts are the best ones. The visualization is also very good. In terms of visualization, no competing product, such as IBM Cognos or any other product, has the same capabilities."
"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."
"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves."
"The most valuable feature is integration with Python."
"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution is scalable."
"Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"It's scalable."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"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."
"I would like to see integration with Excel."
"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."
"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."
"The only challenge I have found is that they do not have a Mac version."
"Trend data and dashboards need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"The product must be more transparent."
"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."
"The tool needs to simplify its features."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance."
