Data integration has improved reserving and expense control while collaboration drives fast dashboards

Regarding drawbacks or weak points in Microsoft Power BI, it may not be directly related to the tool itself, but with our architecture, as we couldn't get a service account, which is an email address that has no relationship with the employees, just to establish the connection with Anaplan. We couldn't get it to work on SSO, so we use an employee account which could be a point of weakness, meaning if the person leaves, that connection will break. If the person goes on holiday and we need to refresh, we have to change the connection as well, but we have to live with that since we're not using SSO on the service account. Regarding the natural language processing feature, we're trying to avoid using it too much because it can slow down the connection, so as much as possible, we try to build the logic and any transformation in Anaplan, and then deliver an end product to Microsoft Power BI.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's allowed us to implement High Performance Work teams who periodically monitor KPIs, as well as improving the infrastructure and overall work methodology."

"I like the flexibility it offers."

"Reports, dashboards, and visualizations are most valuable."

"From what I have seen, the solution seems to be very stable."

"Some of the most valuable features of this solution are the ability to take your data and have the possibility to combine them into datasets and have synchronization."

"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."

"My primary use case is for the performance, compared to MS Dynamics NAV, and flexibility in data and dashboard building."

"We encourage end users to use Power BI because it's quite easy for them to interact with the menus and the navigation bar."

"Microsoft BI is better than most solutions we have, and it's pretty easy to conduct analysis with it."

Cons

"Pricing needs to be brought down."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."

"Right now, their premium pricing is keeping us out of the premium market."

"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region."

"I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product."

"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS."

"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors."

"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."

"The smart phone application could be improved, along with better graphics and faster updating."
