We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and RapidMiner based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."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."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable."
"The uploading of information is very easy, as you just use an Excel sheet to start work right away and obtain the benefits of Power BI."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"Its visualizations and dashboards are most valuable. Power BI is great in terms of visualizations and dashboards. The reports that we previously had were not very nice in terms of visualization. It also provides the ability to play with the data."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Binary classification and Auto Model."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"The solution is stable."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"It's helpful if you want to make informed decisions using data. We can take the information, tease out the attributes, and label everything. It's suitable for profiling and forecasting in any industry."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"Some kind of expression wizard, where the user can build a complex expression without any knowledge of DAX, can be a good addition to the product."
"It's not user-friendly; more tutorials, training, and better documentation would be helpful."
"It has limited performance capabilities in terms of connecting to large transactional databases, but it is fine for simple and quick queries from Excel spreadsheets or one table. The premium level is going to be more applicable for the higher transaction-level databases."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"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."
"The report server feature is quite limited."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python."
"Many things in the interface look nice, but they aren't of much use to the operator. It already has lots of variables in there."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"Improve the online data services."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
