Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"It provides good visibility."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."
"Microsoft BI's dashboards are helpful."
"The solution is quite scalable."
"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."
"The technical support has been very good. They are very responsive and have been helpful."
"Low barrier to start searching with the ability to normalize data on the fly."
"It allows the centralization of data and makes possible new sorts of correlations that were previously impossible using traditional SIEMs such as ArcSight or QRadar."
"There are a lot of third-party applications that can be installed."
"The feature that I have found most valuable with Splunk is the ability to sift through a bunch of data very quickly."
"Splunk has significantly reduced the time in performing the task of aggregating logs, reviewing as well as time spent during investigations."
"What I really like is that even if you have already collected the data, you can extract fields and can build searches."
"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."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."
"Microsoft Power BI was born native on the cloud, however, it's quite difficult when it has to connect to on-premise data sources."
"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 handling of the workspaces can be made more granular for user access rights. It can be managed a little bit better in terms of the connection to Active Directory so that we have more granular access rights. I am not sure if this is really possible or if we can solve it differently, but we need a lot of workspaces, and we are not sure how we can deal with it from the access rights perspective."
"The interface could be improved."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"Splunk is more expensive than other solutions."
"DMC should be a little more intuitive with better dashboarding. Seeing the cause of data flow can be tough to track down."
"Could be more user friendly."
"Splunk's ability to analyze malicious activities scores an 8 out of 10, but there's room for improvement. By analyzing emerging patterns, Splunk could identify and predict potential threats more effectively."
"The implementation and the scanning of the logs can be difficult."
"We'd like to have the number of devices covered under the license to be increased."
"The solution has a high learning curve for users. It's a little complicated when you're trying to figure out all the features and what they do."
"The integration with all our tool sets felt like we were reinventing the wheel, which was a pain point for us."
