Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."
"The drag and drop facility to easily change the data correctly is the most valuable feature. I am happy to see visualizations. It's easier to talk about and make people understand what is going on."
"We find the solution offers good stability."
"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."
"The Microsoft Power BI app is very good. It's also very flexible."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The reporting aspect is good and it does what I need it to do."
"We can ingest and correlate data from virtually any type of system."
"It has reduced the time to resolution, time to investigate, and time to troubleshoot for debugging issues."
"Splunk can extract all kinds of data. There's no limitation on what kind of structured and unstructured data one needs to extract — it can access any kind of data, including machine-generated data."
"Our clients use the solution to find any threats or vulnerabilities inside their environment."
"Its usability is the best part. It is easy for our developers to use if they want to search their logs, etc."
"It has the ability to correlate data, analyze and review it."
"The indexing and data collection are valuable."
"Microsoft BI typically connects to a database, often SQL Server, but it's also capable of connecting to multiple databases, pulling data from them, and allowing for data consolidation. You can then aggregate and generate dashboards and reports from this combined data. Personally, I wouldn't claim to have the expertise to suggest significant changes or additional features, as it functions quite well as is."
"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
"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."
"It should have more integrations."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"Real-time refreshing for SAP BW would be nice. We know its on the radar for the development team at MS. "
"It's not user-friendly; more tutorials, training, and better documentation would be helpful."
"Power BI's drillthrough feature could be improved. I didn't like drillthrough and those options much, but I did like it in MicroStrategy."
"The solution could improve by increasing the performance. We have run into problems when large amounts of data are processed."
"I would like to see an updated dashboard. The dashboard is a little out-of-date. It could be made prettier."
"My company could benefit from doing more Splunk training with Splunk consultants teaching us how to use it."
"It could be more user friendly, in terms of the end-user experience."
"The setup time is quite long."
"While scheduled reports can be embedded, Splunk dashboard can not be embedded directly without enabling cross origin."
"We are waiting for Dashboard Studio to mature a little bit more. There are some things that we are using with Classic Dashboards which have not yet made it to Dashboard Studio. We are waiting for that."
"A problem that we had recently had was we licensed it based on how much data you upload to them every day. Something changed in one our applications, and it started generating three to four times as many logs and. So now, we are trying to assemble something with parts of the Splunk API to warn ourselves, then turn it off and throttle it back more. However it would be better if they had something systematically built into the product that if you're getting close to your license, then to shut things down."
