Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use.""The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points.""Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward.""SSRS and the Tabular server/Vertipaq engine/DAX are probably the two most valuable components.""We have found the product very stable and reliable.""Power BI stands out because it provides considerable flexibility in creating reports, dashboards, and various types of analytics to meet those dynamic requirements. It is lightweight and easy to use with good support.""The way data is presented is very valuable. The amount of information that we can get at a glance is also valuable. You can then drill-down and see data from many different angles in the same chart by selecting certain things. Based on the selection, everything changes automatically. If we have four parameters in a particular item, when you select a parameter, the remaining charts on that page automatically change for that particular parameter.""Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."

Cons
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high.""Power BI could be improved by implementing more options for data integration. Nowadays, the cloud takes care of scalability and security. As we all know, data sources are increasing, so we get data from a variety of streams. But if we could get the downstream data into the database and update the reports more easily, Power BI would be better.""I'm looking for something that can make it much easier to incorporate Power BI visuals or dashboards into, let's say, Power Apps – custom Power Apps or anything like that. The most important thing would be to seamlessly embed reports in applications. For example, to have buttons that can be navigated through multiple solutions – from Power Apps to Power BI to SharePoint – via links or something like that.""I would like to see more visualization options.""The solution could improve the mobile application design. It is difficult to use compared to the desktop version.""From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into.""Compared to other applications, like Tableau, Microsoft BI doesn't have as many functions that allow you to do more in-depth analysis and represent the findings.""The UI looks awkward once the graphs have been generated in the console. This is what Microsoft can work on."

"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""The solution could run faster."
