Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is not that difficult to install, although this will vary with the experience of the person responsible for its installation.""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 interface is very fluid.""Its seamless integration with Microsoft products, such as Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Excel, is the most valuable.""Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility.""The scalability is good. We have 20 people in my organization using this solution and plan to increase usage.""It is easy to work with and very chic.""Like all Microsoft products, it is very easy to set up initially."

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."

More NetSuite Business Intelligence Pros →

Cons
"Needs single sign-on.""Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product.""The solution struggles with large amounts of data.""If you look at the new tool, even though they promised that you could do data modeling, that you could do everything from the Power BI side, if your data is really large in volume, sometimes it doesn't work on the Power BI. More feature testing from their side would certainly help users.""The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features.""Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high.""I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project.""The interface could be improved."
