Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"It is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"The solution is stable."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"The data can be accessed from anywhere."
"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The ease of deployment and configuration allows users to onboard quickly."
"One of the most valuable features is it's graphical dashboard feature. It is quite easy to manage the widgets, and we can customize those according to our queries."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The most valuable features of Rapid7 InsightVM are the accurate level of scanning and the workflows are good."
"InsightVM offers a robust platform for identifying, prioritizing, and addressing vulnerabilities across an organization's IT infrastructure."
"We feel the interface is very good. It is very easy to use, even a nontechnical person can use it."
"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."
"I am a SAP user and I would like this tool to have more connectors - and to more easily connect to - the ERP or SAP environment."
"The smart phone application could be improved, along with better graphics and faster updating."
"I think that the solution is harder to use for people who are not experts in data."
"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."
"If you are having millions of rows of data or you have a large database, Microsoft BI's performance depends upon how powerful your hardware is. When I am handling large amounts of data I do not use Microsoft BI or Tableau because of this, I use D3."
"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 integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The product could have better analytics capabilities."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."
"In order to be able to properly test the solution and make a decision, I would like to receive the test license code instantly and eliminate the wait time."
"They should integrate the solution with multiple products."
"The reporting is very bad when you compare it with other vulnerability assessment tools."
"It is still not a fully cloud-based solution. It will be helpful for customers if it is a complete cloud solution. It is a hybrid solution at the moment."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"There is a significant learning curve, that non-technical individuals, especially those not specialized in computer science or the information security industry, might face."
