"The stability is good."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"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 use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"The solution is scalable."
"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"We have found the scalability to be very good."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"It's scalable."
"Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Tableau CRM is a very capable solution. It is easy to use, user-friendly, and integrates well."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Einstein Analytics are the flexibility around the deployment, overall capabilities, user-friendliness, and interactiveness with the tools that came built with it."
"The solution scales extremely well."
"The solution's documentation needs improvement."
"In the future, Microsoft BI can be better by increasing user-friendliness"
"SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is not user friendly."
"SSMS & SSRS."
"We have used other solutions and the reporting functionality should be user-friendly and have a drag and drop feature should be available, but Microsoft BI doesn't have these features. When you are creating reports and you can't change as a user. Every time you need one developer or one technical person to make the changes."
"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."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."
"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
"The product is expensive."
"They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now."
"There are some offerings like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud that have very useful online learning options. There need to be more avenues for self-learning with this particular solution. That would be useful."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"The product must be more transparent."
