We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI, Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service, and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The way data is presented is very valuable. The amount of information that we can get at a glance is also valuable. You can then drill-down and see data from many different angles in the same chart by selecting certain things. Based on the selection, everything changes automatically. If we have four parameters in a particular item, when you select a parameter, the remaining charts on that page automatically change for that particular parameter."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."
"The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points."
"The most valuable features are the easy creation of reports, dashboards, and the ability to perform analysis. It is important for us to create reports because we have some operations during certain hours and we can use this tool to track the information."
"We find the solution offers good stability."
"There is a feature in Microsoft BI that allows JSON data to SQL on the dashboards effectively and quickly."
"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use. It's very useful for non-engineers and it is the ultimate solution for providing information and insights. Power BI is the best visualization tool I have ever worked with."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"It is very easy to create dashboards, charts, and graphs."
"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."
"Good data flow and management."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"This service is the combination of very pleasant, interactive graphical visualizations along with the application of advanced statistical models (in some cases)."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"Tableau has greatly enhanced our organization's data-driven decision-making processes by enabling us to create visually compelling reports and dashboards."
"We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed."
"I think because I'm moving more into RPA, I'd definitely like to see integration across the RPA, Power BI, or Tableau platforms, because that integration could then make automation and mundane reporting much faster."
"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."
"The dashboard could be simplified."
"Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way."
"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."
"The UI looks awkward once the graphs have been generated in the console. This is what Microsoft can work on."
"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"Quality of support varies."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"There are not enough language options. It needs to be offered in more than just English."
"There should be stronger data modules for the platform."
"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."
"Tableau could be improved by introducing a data manipulation layer within the tool itself. Currently, data manipulations require using additional tools like Alteryx. If Tableau included these capabilities, it would reduce the need for external dependencies. The tool gets slower when we feed huge amounts of data."
"The pricing is a bit higher than the competition. They'll need to lower it to stay competitive."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"SAP BusinessObjects has some semantic layer designs that give the flexibility to do ad hoc reporting or dashboard designing. If that can be brought into Tableau, it would be great. We have the data in the database, but we should also be able to bring something between the database and the dashboard and do some semantic layer modeling for ad hoc reporting requirements."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
