"The biggest feature is the source of truth for all of our budget and forecast versions."
"Forecasting changes that instantly flow through all financial statements."

"It helps develop a more unified work format throughout the company."
"Reports are allowed to be edited for aesthetic purposes, which is lacking in a lot of other dashboard tools."
"We utilize planning on a daily basis, therefore we find it to be the most valuable product for our organization."

"It's pretty easy to set up the product."
"Microsoft BI is scalable."
"Ease of development and maintenance."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy."

"The product's configuration process could be faster."
"Their customer support team is slow to respond and not extremely confident."
"The upload feature exists, but isn't terribly useful."
"It's a Workday product; they could do a little bit better to integrate a pure-play integration with Workday, which really doesn't do that."
"Adaptive Insights has a limit of 1,00,000 rows for HTML reports. It should be improved because we will have multiple dimensions that need to be populated to enhance the image."
"The integrations could be simpler. It takes quite a bit of internal and IT know-how to set up."
"Adaptive Insights could improve the data designer interface to make integrations easier to set up."
"We tried Discovery and OfficeConnect at one point and found them too cumbersome, at the time."
"Actionable insights could be better."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team."
