Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported

The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."

"My primary use is for view of the dashboard."

"I liked that Microsoft Power BI handles a large amount of data. I can handle hundreds of rows from Postgres in a few minutes. I also like how it detects the relationship between the tables without explicitly saying that. It just detects the relationship automatically. That made it easier to work with the data."

"The solution integrates with other Microsoft solutions very well."

"What's most valuable in this tool is that it gives its users detailed error messages. It's a very stable data analytics tool, and it offers good scalability."

"The ease of integration and connectivity stands out as the most critical aspect, followed closely by the flexibility to customize reports and dashboards."

"SSRS and the Tabular server/Vertipaq engine/DAX are probably the two most valuable components."

"We have found that the reporting and publishing are great."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility, how many ways you can interrogate the data, and the the graphical visualization."

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."

"Capacity could be improved."

"Technical support could be a bit better."

"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint."

"I would like to see a change in the premium capacity."

"Visualization systems are still relatively young."

"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."

"The one thing that I noticed specifically was the graphical features, and some of the analytical features. They were stronger on the Tableau side."

"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Microsoft BI is very cost-effective and this is why we use it."

"Its pricing is reasonable for the desktop stuff, but for enterprise-level, it is a little expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The only other cost, besides the licensing fee, would be to cover support."

"No comment."

"It is based on the usage. If you're using it, you pay for it, and if you're not using it, you stop paying for it."

"Its licensing cost is very high. It is $20 per user, which is very high, but it is a good product, so you pay for it."

"We are end-users, and we don't take care of the prices and accounting. We get a product and pay the fee to our internal service provider, but its price should be reasonable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bought it."
