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.

Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal

Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows. This makes Power BI difficult to manage as loading times can reach one or two minutes, which is problematic today. There are challenges with scalability, requiring multiple pages in dashboards to manage these issues. Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated. Users, especially newcomers, find it unappealing and not user-friendly.

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."

"The DAX coding language is good for creating formulae."

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

"It is really flexible. The charts and reports are really nice. You have the flexibility of self-service."

"Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators."

"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."

"The initial setup is simple to do."

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

"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

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."

"The solution should increase the API functionality so that we can use Microsoft Power BI for other purposes and aggregate things."

"I have to write scripts to query data for analyzing performance."

"We identified a couple of issues in the reports. Some reports took too long to load, particularly at the end of our data refresh."

"It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it."

"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward."

"The significant drawback I notice is that Microsoft's size makes it hard to get specific change requests addressed unless they involve a bug."

"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."

"As Copilot and further integrations continue to develop, they will enhance Power BI's functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Compared to what's available on the market, I think we pay a fair price."

"No comment."

"I am satisfied with its price. Its price is very less as compared to Tableau and QlikView."

"It's straightforward licensing."

"The price of the solution can be expensive if you want to synchronize your data more."

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

"We pay on a monthly basis which is approximately $10 per user on the Microsoft Power BI Pro license. At the moment we are still down at 400 users, but once we reach 500 users, we will move to the premium edition. The premium is $5,000 for unlimited users. Currently, with the 40 users, the cost is roughly $500."

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