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."It's pretty easy to set up the product."
"My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy."
"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset."
"The querying capabilities are the most valuable because they allow me to build many automations. We have many workflows and many databases that we work on a daily basis. They need to be updated quite quickly. In order to not to take much of our time doing these updates manually, I have set up these automations using the systems. The process is just to ingest the data and reprocess it. Every time I click a button, everything is updated in almost real time. It is by far the easiest system not only for querying but also for data modeling, data visualization, and deployment. It is light years ahead of Tableau and even Microsoft Excel to do these kinds of things. It is very easy to use and set up, and it has a lot of videos on the internet."
"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."
"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."
"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."
"I also find connecting to different data sources is quite simple. Other solutions we were using before were complicated."
"Visually displaying data."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the ability for Sisense to connect data from totally different sources."
"I have found the dashboard creating feature helpful."
"No issues with stability. It is a very stable solution."
"ElastiCube Manager is a very easy to use ETL tool, which includes the ability to easily transform raw data into reusable data."
"Whenever we have an issue or are unsure how to proceed, they manage to simplify the issue and help us execute it in a graceful and scalable way."
"The solution's technical support team is good."
"Sisense has helped us gain knowledge about our customers, as well as highlighting data quality issues to correct."
"It should be easier to use when there are multiple system sources."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."
"I believe there is room for improvement in terms of authentication and certain functionalities in Power BI. For instance, adjusting the width of columns is not easily done, as there is only an option to enable or disable automatic adjustment. This can be a significant drawback for clients who desire more flexibility."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes."
"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."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
