Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It is easy for a new user to learn the tool."
"One of the most valuable features of Power BI is the ease of use. It is comfortable and there is not a steep learning curve for this solution. If you have some idea of the data and basic visualization ideas, you can use this solution comfortably."
"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."
"It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."
"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."
"We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."
"Technical support is quite responsive."
"The tool must be made more user-friendly."
"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."
"I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in."
"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."
"When I create measures, sometimes the error messages aren't clear. It makes me spend more time searching for solutions. I need the error messages to be more specific. So, I would like clearer error messages when creating measures."
"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
"It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."
