We performed a comparison between Microsoft BI and Sisense based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good."
"In the process of using data there is the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL). For extracting we are using another software, for transforming we are using our own coding in C#, and then we use Microsoft BI for loading the information. Microsoft BI displays information very well."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."
"We've used Microsoft BI for the general use cases around reporting and dashboarding."
"I've seen no issues with BI's stability."
"There are some great automation elements in the product."
"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."
"The best part about this solution is how easy it is to mash up the data from many sources. Sisense is fast compared to other solutions."
"This solution is easy to learn how to use."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"We like that this solution allows us to use data cubes to set up specific visualizations."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"I have found using Microsoft BI is not easy. For example, trying to use the auto-refresh feature is not simple."
"Microsoft BI lacks some of the scheme features. It would be beneficial if there were a way to show how we move values in a different way."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"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."
"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
"At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed."
