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.

Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal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 Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated.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.

Pros

"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."

"It integrates with all of the Microsoft tools."

"The visuals are great and make everything look very professional. We can change the look and feel or manipulate the data according to our requirements. It's extremely flexible."

"The product's most valuable features are DAX functions for formulas and calculations."

"The solution is very intuitive, you do not need to have too much programming knowledge to use it. Advanced Excel users can use it very easily."

"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."

"The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity."

"We find the solution offers good stability."

"Premium features that used to cost $5,000 per company per month recently became a lot more accessible. Microsoft recently implemented a per user feature in Power BI Premium; it's $20 per month."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

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

"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."

"If you are having millions of rows of data or you have a large database, Microsoft BI's performance depends upon how powerful your hardware is. When I am handling large amounts of data I do not use Microsoft BI or Tableau because of this, I use D3."

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

"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."

"It is getting better but still, there are opportunity areas in some aspects, especially the Windows OS dependency."

"Microsoft Power BI can be confusing, because it has two languages that you need to learn if you want to use it, and this makes it more difficult for nontechnical users."

"The Power Query feature needs to be improved to handle large amounts of data. This feature is also slow for large data transfers making it better to use some kind of script."

"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The pricing is reasonable."

"They are charging us by users in storage, and there is a license fee. My financial people handle all that. The client has already worked out a contract with Microsoft, and basically, we're getting government prices."

"No comment."

"From a cost point of view, it's competitive in the enterprise space, although it's not as competitive when you add up all of the additional costs. Things like integrations cost extra and it's probably where Microsoft makes more of the money."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"I very much recommend the free trial mode."

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"Power BI is cost-effective compared to other reporting tools."
