More Microsoft Power BI Pros →

"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities.""Initial setup was straightforward.""Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones.""The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."

More Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service Pros →

"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports.""We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts.

Cons
"More connections with other systems should be added, which would allow for other integrations.""Not having to login again after a mobile app upgrade. A simple login on mobile would be great.""It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better.""Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds.""Microsoft is behind IBM when it comes to security features.""It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake.""One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies.""Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"Quality of support varies.""The dashboard could be improved and include additional features.""When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users.""In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."

More Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service Cons →

"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""This solution does not support manufacturing facilities.""The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors.""In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""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.""The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."
  • "All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."
  • "I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."
  • "Remove the cost of a licence to show a dashboard within SharePoint. Why should readers of a dashboard have to pay to view? ​"

  • More Microsoft Power BI Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
  • More Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."

  • "I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
  • "It is very reasonable, and it gives me a good return on investment. Compared to other tools, it is the best choice in terms of pricing."
  • "This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
  • "The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
