We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Oracle Analytics Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."
"The interface is very fluid."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an easy-to-use tool."
"It is more user-friendly compared to SSRS."
"In my opinion, Microsoft BI is a low-cost solution, and it could be an interesting solution for a tourism company."
"When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."
"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."
"Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Mobility is the most valuable feature for us. All employees can access it from anywhere. It is a big advantage for us."
"This is a stable and scalable solution."
"The solution can scale."
"It's robust. It has the ability to handle massive amounts. After reporting has been developed, there is an ease of use or a user-friendly interface for a trained workforce."
"The best feature may be data flow, which is used to prepare and clean data."
"The product is easily customized."
"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."
"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"Creating dashboards could be easier."
"If you need data in real-time, it's not an ideal solution."
"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"Microsoft BI can improve some of the visual level filters or visual functionality, that are available in other BI tools, such as Tableau or Qlik Sense."
"Its FAW feature has limitations in terms of usage."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"As with most BI tools, the visualizations can be made much nicer. Currently, it has standard visualizations. They've been adding new visualizations, but we see animated visualizations from other vendors. It would be nice to have similar visualizations, such as the swarming visualizations, which are fairly new and very popular at the moment. I haven't seen that with Oracle. That would be nice."
"The price of the solution could be lower."
"When you implement the product on a small scale, it doesn't generate any ROI."
"This solution could be more adaptable in its application."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"The scalability has room for improvement."
