Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."Its connectivity with other Office applications, mostly with Excel, and the ability to deploy it very easily are the most valuable features. It comes sort of bundled with the cloud, so you don't need to set up a server and a standalone infrastructure. So, getting into the system or building something that you can deploy is very easy and very cheap. With other systems, you need to have a server, and you need to have a license for the server. The initial setup is very costly."
"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."
"The most valuable feature is integration with Python."
"I find Power BI's reporting feature the most valuable. The solution has improved a lot. There are new features getting added day by day. In the past, they didn't even have the printing feature, but now they have it."
"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."
"We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations."
"The most valuable feature for us is the different types of reporting it provides."
"The most important aspect of the solution is that it rarely gives false positives, especially compared to other products. It provides very clear reports for our IT teams to look at."
"The solution is automatically scheduled so it runs by itself."
"There are many integrations with things like the VMware NSX that are great, the reporting is really solid."
"It is good and fits well with pretty much all of our use case needs."
"I liked the dashboard on it. I could customize my dashboard with different widgets and different heat maps."
"The solution is very user friendly and easy to manage."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports."
"The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team."
"The smart phone application could be improved, along with better graphics and faster updating."
"Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment."
"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."
"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."
"It has limited performance capabilities in terms of connecting to large transactional databases, but it is fine for simple and quick queries from Excel spreadsheets or one table. The premium level is going to be more applicable for the higher transaction-level databases."
"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."
"There is room for improvement on its cloud side. In the next release I would like to see better reporting."
"A definite improvement would be to make it easier to run ad-hoc scans without needing to assign the asset to a site or group."
"Reporting could be expanded."
"There are certain limitations because of the product being used on a hybrid model. Rapid7 InsightVM doesn't offer a solution purely in the cloud."
"I would say that it improved our visibility, but it left things open."
"The solution should include a tighter integration with third-party threat modeling and threat intelligence tools."
"The reporting could be better."
"We are a registered reseller and a trusted partner. However, for us to get any support from them I can't log a call directly with Rapid7 InsightVM. I have to work with the distributor to log the call for me."
