Interactive dashboards have transformed restaurant data into faster daily business decisions

Microsoft Power BI has many features and there is not a lot to improve. However, the licensing can be confusing. When deciding between Pro and Premium, I find it difficult to distinguish what features are offered by Pro and what features are offered by Premium, including the particular differences to choose between both licensing models. Additionally, some features such as DAX, which I mentioned previously, involve DAX calculations and complex data modeling, which are somewhat advanced and not easily understandable. Prior knowledge is required or you need to go through the documentation. If the documentation is made comprehensive so that anyone with no knowledge on DAX can easily use it by going through the documentation, it would be really helpful. Additionally, if the integration with non-Microsoft tools is improved and performance is optimized, then Microsoft Power BI can become a top-ranked visualization tool. The user experience with Microsoft Power BI is quite good. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to create reports. However, only the advanced features are somewhat complex, and if the documentation is improved, it can be easily accessible.

Head Of Data Science at Mjunction Services

Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization

Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

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."

"Power BI is cheaper for smaller groups when comparing to competitors."

"It has a lot of powerful functions, can be customized with the DAX language, and is intuitive and incremental so you can start with something simple and then step-by-step increase the reports and dashboards according to your needs."

"Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design; I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau."

"PowerBI – Self-service BI."

"I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good."

"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."

"The solution is stable with reasonable performance."

"Microsoft SQL Server BI made data correlation between the agencies so fast, that the simple POCs for the dashboards let the decision-makers to migrate our so-called enterprise architecture."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"Very user friendly."

"All the features are valuable."

"It allows us to basically understand and evaluate our numbers in an expedient manner."

"Dynamic interactive visualisation and publishing to server for distribution are the most valuable features of this product."

"Tableau's most valuable features are user-friendliness and have a connection between multiple source systems. You can publish a report by using Tableau Public and there you can make your data online, not only batches of data, you can use it as an online analytical tool."

"It's very user-friendly; it's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly, anybody can use Tableau, it's very easy to adopt things, I can visualize the stats, it's one of the fastest-growing data visualization and data analytics tools, and you can simplify and convert raw data into a very understandable format."

"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."

"User interface is designed for ease of use for non-technical users."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

"Pricing needs to be brought down."

"The solution could improve by simplifying the user interface and adding integration or compatibility with APA."

"The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files."

"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool."

"Power BI doesn't support some open-source data sources that are new, such as SnowSQL, Iceberg, or ClickHouse."

"One area for improvement in Microsoft Power BI is serviceability. Compared to one of its competitors: Tableau, there are a lot of things which you cannot do in this tool, that can be done in Tableau."

"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."

"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."

"I think that there should be visuals for financial reporting videos. It should just be a plug and play because there is a lot of coding that goes into it with different clients."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"Connectivity seems to be a sticky point, but it's also a hard nut to crack at the level that I would love to see."

"Tableau has so many functions, so sometimes it's hard to find the right solution quickly. I have to search multiple menu bars to find the right command."

"The key feature of Tableau that has room for improvement is its performance with structured and unstructured data."

"SAP BusinessObjects has some semantic layer designs that give the flexibility to do ad hoc reporting or dashboard designing. If that can be brought into Tableau, it would be great. We have the data in the database, but we should also be able to bring something between the database and the dashboard and do some semantic layer modeling for ad hoc reporting requirements."

"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."

"ETL functionality is limited, which is both a strength and weakness."

"They need to improve the bar chart position and width."

"I would look at Tableau's security and performance. I take a long time to process the hundreds of thousands or millions of records that must be processed every day."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"No comment."

"Power BI is cheaper than Tableau and Cognos."

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"Our license is paid yearly and we have found that we have to be careful not to over-extend our usage in order to avoid upgrading our capacity plan."

"The price of Microsoft BI is reasonable. Other solutions such as SAP Cloud are more expensive."

"The premium capacity is very costly in respect of the market in Egypt, amounting to $5,000 monthly."

"The solution is less expensive than other PowerBI tools, which is why most people go with it, although it does cost more than MSBI tools."

"The current licensing model that Microsoft BI has is expensive. My customers have told me the cost is approximately $20 per user and this can get expensive fast. There should be a one-time purchase option if the customer has a lot of users."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"Tableau's prices are relatively high for our market. I am from Serbia, so many companies in this market don't have the ability to pay for expensive software. My clients are quite satisfied with a lot of Tableau's qualities except for the prices."

"For big business, Tableau could be expensive as having a lot of Tableau server users (entering with a browser to reports) could be a bit expensive."

"At $70 per month, I think the price is a bit scary. I have a small consulting firm in Ghana, working in about 15 different African countries, and when it comes to our part of the world, $70 a month is a lot of money for software."

"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."

"Its price is reasonable. Everything is included in the license."

"Tableau has core-based and user-based licensing, and it is tied to scalability. The core-based licensing is about you buying a certain number of cores, and there is no restriction on the number of users who can use Tableau. The restriction is only on the number of cores. In user-based subscription licensing, there is a restriction on the number of users. Big companies and government organizations with a lot of users typically go for core-based licensing. User-based subscription licensing is a more common model. It has user roles such as creator, explorer, and viewer. A creator is someone who does the groundwork or development work. An explorer is someone who is into middle management but is not technically savvy, such as a category head. A viewer is like a typical decision-maker in senior management. For each role, Tableau is priced differently. The viewer role has the minimum price, and the creator role has the highest price. This pricing is available on their website. Everybody can see it."

"It is reasonable and cheap as compared to other major tools. It has a good price, and people go for it because of its pricing."

"It is expensive when you compare it with Power BI. It should be cheaper."
