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Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal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 Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated.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

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."

"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."

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

"Our setup is very straight forward and can be done in a matter of hours."

"One of the most valuable features of Power BI is the ease of use. It is comfortable and there is not a steep learning curve for this solution. If you have some idea of the data and basic visualization ideas, you can use this solution comfortably."

"The solution is stable."

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

Cons

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

"I think that they can add more types of charts because the selection on the desktop version is limited."

"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint."

"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."

"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the solution."

"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."

"The DAX in Microsoft BI is quite difficult."

"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"It is free."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"Setup is easy, and the cost is economical. You do sometimes need to pay additional costs for third party products which "plug-in" to Microsoft BI."

"Licensing is on a monthly basis, but I am not sure."

"The cost of this product is very low, at approximately $8 or $9 per month for a developer."

"All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."
