Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The solution is easy to use and flexible."
"With the out-of-the-box Data Platform and Business Intelligence ecosystem, you get the entire platform with a single license."
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."
"Microsoft BI's dashboards are helpful."
"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"Many of my customers already use Microsoft products like Office 365, so I often propose Microsoft Power BI because it integrates well with all the standard Microsoft business tools. And it's the quickest tool to implement and start using daily."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"InsightVM's most valuable feature is risk scoring, a formula based on different vectors like the ease of exploitation and the availability of the machine."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"It's a relevant management tool."
"It's easy to use. It's fast, it's a powerful easy to access tool."
"Needs single sign-on."
"If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization."
"Microsoft BI lacks some of the scheme features. It would be beneficial if there were a way to show how we move values in a different way."
"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."
"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."
"I would like to see Machine Learning for Power Bi Pro users or an intermediate license to enable Machine Learning if you don't have access to a Premium account."
"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."
"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."
"There should be containerization within the VM."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"It would be nice to have an additional feature that would provide reports on who has logged onto the console or who did what on the console."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"There have been instances where technical support takes a long time to update the status of a ticket, which is something that can be improved."
"The InsightVM cannot scan if we connect to our customer by the VPN."
"Within InsightVM, there is no feature to assign a ticket. If we can have more API calls, we can do that from InsightVM."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
