Cons
"The interface could be improved.""The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files.""The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it.""The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things.""The reporting needs to be improved.""It should be more user-friendly and simple.""The look and feel should be updated in terms of the types of dashboards and graphs that you can produce. They aren't as visual as some of its competitors.""It is definitely a wonderful analytics tool. However, database ETL, data integration functionality would be absolutely perfect in many cases. Currently, it doesn't get the job done and we need to extract, transform, and load the data from faulty data sets into something more suitable for the deployment of the analytics tool."
