Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."It is easy to work with and very chic."
"The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."
"Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is real-time report tracking."
"I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable."
"Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"It's a straightforward setup."
"Financial consolidation and reporting tool with good built-in features such as currency exchange and elimination."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is a very user-friendly software."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility and ease of configuration in terms of testing and formula creation."
"You can bring in data from any source and from multiple sources, and you can consolidate that data in HFM."
"The most valuable features are around consolidations, eliminations, conversions."
"The tool is stable."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"The UI is the main improvement that could be made. Specifically, there is something called DAX, in Power BI, which is complicated compared to calculated fields used in Tableau."
"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking."
"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."
"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."
"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."
"The complexity is okay. I don't see it as super complex. The solution could have more functionality to make it a little bit more flexible."
"If there could be data integration between HFM and the accounting software that would be ideal."
"In terms of improvement, one challenge with Oracle HFM is the need for technical knowledge in writing SQL syntax for custom extensions."
"The intercompany reporting function in this tool needs improvement, particularly being able to run reports in batches, rather than one at a time."
"Integration is an area where it lacks and can be improved."
"The solution has integration challenges. We need a simple tool that is fool-proof for the data that is submitted not only for consolidation purposes but also for performance management and reporting purposes."
"It's a difficult process to try to edit, configure, or change the business rules that exist and work within HFM."
