Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."If you are not very technical this tool could be very useful."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"SSRS and the Tabular server/Vertipaq engine/DAX are probably the two most valuable components."
"Its visualizations and dashboards are most valuable. Power BI is great in terms of visualizations and dashboards. The reports that we previously had were not very nice in terms of visualization. It also provides the ability to play with the data."
"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."
"The designer is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"Microsoft BI typically connects to a database, often SQL Server, but it's also capable of connecting to multiple databases, pulling data from them, and allowing for data consolidation. You can then aggregate and generate dashboards and reports from this combined data. Personally, I wouldn't claim to have the expertise to suggest significant changes or additional features, as it functions quite well as is."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"It has limited performance capabilities in terms of connecting to large transactional databases, but it is fine for simple and quick queries from Excel spreadsheets or one table. The premium level is going to be more applicable for the higher transaction-level databases."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"Drill-down in dashboards needs to improved. The capability only works in Power BI Desktop today. We need to have an alternative approach today."
"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 Power Query feature needs to be improved to handle large amounts of data. This feature is also slow for large data transfers making it better to use some kind of script."
"It is easy enough. I don't see any real substantial improvements that are needed. It is great as it is, but its interface could be a bit modern."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."
"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"I would like to see better support for big data."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
