"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have."
"I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story."
"Other people can access data much more easily than before. Its usability is the main advantage, people in the company are using it."
"It is easy to use and has a huge community that I can rely on for help. Moreover, it is interactive."
"What I like about RapidMiner is its all-in-one nature, which allows me to prepare, extract, transform, and load data within the same tool."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"We value the collaboration and governance features because it's a comprehensive platform that covers everything from data extraction to modeling operations in the ML language. RapidMiner is competitive in the ML space."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it can read a large number of file formats including CSV, Excel, and in particular, SPSS."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"The most valuable feature of RapidMiner is that it is code free. It is similar to playing with Lego pieces and executing after you are finished to see the results. Additionally, it is easy to use and has interesting utilities when preparing the data. It has a utility to automatically launch a series of models and show the comparisons. When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"In my opinion, the software is a little bit limited in terms of the flexibility it offers, with regard to the design of the visualization."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."
"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"There's always room for improvement for Microsoft Power BI, especially for the UX and the menus to make it more accessible to business users."

"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"I would appreciate improvements in automation and customization options to further streamline processes."
"RapidMiner can improve deep learning by enhancing the features."
"If they could include video tutorials, people would find that quite helpful."
"RapidMiner would be improved with the inclusion of more machine learning algorithms for generating time-series forecasting models."
"I think that they should make deep learning models easier."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"Improve the online data services."
