Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The fact that you can visualize items is great."
"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."
"Tech support is very helpful."
"You can learn a lot of things quickly using resources like ChatGPT or Microsoft's own solutions, which are very helpful within the Microsoft ecosystem."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."
"RapidMiner is very easy to use."
"Scalability is not really a concern with RapidMiner. It scales very well and can be used in global implementations."
"RapidMiner for Windows is an excellent graphical tool for data science."
"I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."
"The GUI capabilities of the solution are excellent. Their Auto ML model provides for even non-coder data scientists to deploy a model."
"Using the GUI, I can have models and algorithms drag and drop nodes."
"The solution is stable."
"The data science, collaboration, and IDN are very, very strong."
"I would like to see more visualization options."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"The reporting could be a bit better."
"When we have a big report with lots of data, the solution slows down quite a lot."
"The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code."
"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"One thing I would like to have is the scripting language, as they already have within Excel. It's already within a Microsoft business product, because Excel is the number one business product out there. So it would be nice to have the scripting capability in order to automate certain processes."
"In the Mexican or Latin American market, it's kind of pricey."
"I would like to see all users have access to all of the deep learning models, and that they can be used easily."
"It would be helpful to have some tutorials on communicating with Python."
"The biggest problem, not from a platform process, but from an avoidance process, is when you work in a heavily regulated environment, like banking and finance. Whenever you make a decision or there is an output, you need to bill it as an avoidance to the investigator or to the bank audit team. If you made decisions within this machine learning model, you need to explain why you did so. It would better if you could explain your decision in terms of delivery. However, this is an issue with all ML platforms. Many companies are working heavily in this area to help figure out how to make it more explainable to the business team or the regulator."
"The server product has been getting updated and continues to be better each release. When I started using RapidMiner, it was solid but not easy to set up and upgrade."
"The visual interface could use something like the-drag-and-drop features which other products already support. Some additional features can make RapidMiner a better tool and maybe more competitive."
"A great product but confusing in some way with regard to the user interface and integration with other tools."
"Improve the online data services."
