More ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus Pros →

"Data integration is very useful in Power BI. It lets me collect data from many sources. For example, I can get data from Oracle databases and SQL Server databases at the same time.""The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good.""Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use.""I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use.""Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable.""We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations.""It integrates better with other Microsoft products. It is very easy to use and has very powerful visualizations. It has also got a lot of development going on."

Cons
"I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements."

More ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus Cons →

"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.""Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution.""There is no specific area that I have a problem with. It's just that, with whatever feature you come across, every visual has its own formatting and behavior. What you get in one visual for a feature, you don't seem to get in another.""Maybe they can enhance the UI a bit. Right now, it's very basic, I would say, compared to the MicroStrategy or Qlik.""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.""I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it.""I would like to see more visualization options.""Actionable insights could be better."
