Can build reports easily and offers unlimited view access of them in a single dashboard

Ivanti Xtraction provides reports in a single dashboard. We can ask the executive leadership to review it. It has unlimited view access. You can view the reports but won't be able to edit them. The solution makes it easy to build reports and send them. It has filters, and you can filter the results based on time, date, etc. The view will go back to normal once refreshed.

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.

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

"The best features of Microsoft Power BI include its integration with other Microsoft products and its ability to connect applications within the Microsoft ecosystem."

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

"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."

"The interface is very easy to use."

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

"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"The tool's graphics need to be updated."

"Microsoft BI typically connects to a database, often SQL Server, but it's also capable of connecting to multiple databases, pulling data from them, and allowing for data consolidation. You can then aggregate and generate dashboards and reports from this combined data. Personally, I wouldn't claim to have the expertise to suggest significant changes or additional features, as it functions quite well as is."

"We would like improvements made to the paginated reports so that it produces quality similarly to SSRS."

"At times, I feel that the system needs improvement in single sign-on, especially for the on-premises side of the tool."

"There are some connector-related issues in their MSBA solution."

"They can provide a user-friendly and easy way to use this tool for people who don't know about programming or technical things. It will be quite good if they can improve the look and feel and make it simpler to operate. They can make it easier to create some of the reports. They can also include predefined templates that you can directly use."

"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."

"There is room for improvement in terms of customization and configuration options, particularly for more advanced users."

"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."

"My company needs to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"Make it low in cost. It is a no-brainer!"

"I'm unsure about the exact cost, but the Pro license comes out to around $10 per user. There are also additional costs for custom visuals that you can pay for."

"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."

"I believe that the price is reasonable, at least for an enterprise solution."
