We performed a comparison between Google Data Studio, Microsoft Power BI, and Teradata Data Lab based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in Reporting."I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts."
"The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources."
"The solution is free so that is a good feature."
"The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues."
"Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation."
"The ability to design complex data models and equations."
"I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility."
"Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There is also a chart store where we can download charts, which is extremely useful."
"Initial setup was very straightforward. Users can get up and running reporting on databases within minutes."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"Provides a full platform (database, ETL, reporting, analysis, and so on)"
"In Data Lab, you can schedule any testing you want to do in production. You can take a small subset of data from production, copy it there, and run all your tests. It reduces your testing costs because it's all in the lab."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base."
"When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements."
"It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool."
"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos."
"Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful."
"Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs."
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."
"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI."
"The initial setup is a little bit technical."
"It's quite difficult to learn how to use Power BI."
"The solution doesn't integrate well with third-party tools."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"The mobile app is very poor."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better."
"The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code."
