Microsoft Power BI vs NetSuite Business Intelligence comparison

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

"It has helped us to have the information in a visual format, using graphical tools."

"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."

"One of the key factors why I use Power BI is because it's very flexible with other Microsoft tools."

"I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."

"The product is user-friendly."

"The solution has a good toggling feature."

"It cuts away the time spent to source some of this information; it saves a lot of time, and a lot of things have been automated, so things that used to take close to a week, now, in one day, we are done with it."

"I think the NetSuite support is one of the best I've ever had."

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

"I believe Power BI could improve by making data tables and databases easier to handle, especially for non-programmers who may not be familiar with languages like Python. Simplifying these aspects would enhance the usability and accessibility of Power BI for a broader range of users."

"This is frustrating because sometimes the finance manager needs to export the report to a PowerPoint."

"The dynamic browsing tables could be better in Microsoft Power BI."

"It is getting better but still, there are opportunity areas in some aspects, especially the Windows OS dependency."

"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version. It would be beneficial if they could be brought down to the on-premise version without the necessity of using the enterprise SQL database, as that can be very costly. We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."

"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."

"Our main concern with Power BI is it doesn't have a connection with the finance application."

"I found data cleaning in the solution to be quite difficult. If I could add a feature, I'd include Excel's Flash Fill function. This allows you to set a formula for one row and column and automatically apply it to thousands of rows, making data sorting much easier."

"Graphics are limited and could be improved."

"I think the only limitation in the solution is the graphics which could be improved."

"No comment on pricing."

"I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."

"Compared to what's available on the market, I think we pay a fair price."

"Pricing is a big advantage that Power BI has over Tableau. Power BI is three or four times cheaper than Tableau. For my personal use, I will definitely prefer a $20 monthly fee of Power BI rather than a $70 monthly fee of Tableau. If you pay altogether for Power BI, they give you a discount, whereas, with Tableau, there is no discount. There are three versions of Power BI: Free, Pro, and Premium. The Premium version comes with a lot of things. There is no extra or hidden fee. You pay every month, and the software is with you. If you upgrade, there will be some extra charges."

"It is part of our Office 365 license."

"We pay for users who are publishing on the cloud. The desktop version is free. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"I think it's a good price, from what I've heard. I know it's competitive with other Power BI tools."
