Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It's a pretty scalable product."
"The user interface is easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."
"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."
"Tech support is very helpful."
"The solution overall is very useful. The reports that are generated and the reporting functionality management are beneficial."
"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"It integrates better with other Microsoft products. It is very easy to use and has very powerful visualizations. It has also got a lot of development going on."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"The risk score that they provide makes it easier to find out the biggest risks. It helped the security officers to understand where the biggest risks are so that they can act on them. They can instruct their IT teams to give them a higher priority and mitigate them."
"The solution is good because it has a lot of options."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"The remediation project is a pretty effective because it allows us, as clients or countries, to choose specific assets and set limitations on them for a certain period which allows us to track and follow up on those limitations. However, when it comes to real-time monitoring and live dashboards, InsightVM doesn't quite fit the bill. It's not a real-time solution and is not instant."
"You can bring in and get online to do reports fairly quickly,"
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"We did have some issues building the Microsoft blog."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"It could have more of a hold on big data. Manipulating big data on this solution complicates things. This needs to be improved."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"Microsoft has got a very large repository of all change suggestions which have been raised by the BI community. They keep on adding features that are very widely sought after by the community. We don't focus on product features. We focus on business requirements. To use the solution, we find that existing features are good enough and offer us a very effective solution."
"If you look at the new tool, even though they promised that you could do data modeling, that you could do everything from the Power BI side, if your data is really large in volume, sometimes it doesn't work on the Power BI. More feature testing from their side would certainly help users."
"This solution integrates with another module in Metasploit, that doesn't exist in the other solutions. It is subscribed to on our roadmap, but we chose to implement both Nexppose and AppSpider."
"Their customer support should be improved, and the effectiveness of scans also needs to be improved."
"The team needs to improve the speed and focus on the new bandwidth feed. Sometimes, it takes a while to scan, especially with new updates."
"Rapid7 InsightVM could be easier to use for those who are using it for the first time."
"Some difficulties with the online reporting and lack of integrations."
"There are end-user needs and expectations that are being overlooked in the development that could be addressed by appointing a customer advisory board."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"The authentication scan is not working."
