Microsoft Power BI vs RStudio Connect comparison

"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs."

"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."

"Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators."

"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."

"The interface is very easy to use."

"I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable."

"Microsoft BI is better than most solutions we have. It's pretty easy to conduct analysis with it."

"The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website."

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."

"The on-premises version lacks some technical features that are available with the Cloud version."

"There is no column-level security in Microsoft BI, and this is a feature that most of our customers are looking for. That is something that should be implemented."

"When you go to the cloud, its licensing is not intuitive. It is a little bit complex. When you have to purchase a new license, it is difficult to understand on their website what exactly you need to pay and how you can group. It is something that is applicable to all Microsoft products. They're not always so simple and clear when it comes to licensing. Their support can also be better in terms of explaining how they resolved an issue and what steps they took to resolve it. They are able to resolve the issue, but they can be better at explaining the approach they took to resolve the issue. It could have something in the direction of machine learning. It can have some kind of integration with machine learning where you can ask for some reports with natural language."

"This solution is resource-heavy."

"Defining a relationship was very confusing. There were circular directions for which I had to do a lot of adjustments in the data. They can do something to make it easier."

"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint."

"Its price could be better. Its licensing cost is very high."

"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

"In the beginning, the solution cost approximately $1,000 per month, we have a Microsoft startup subscription. There is a subscription pack for startups company which we are able to have for one year."

"The solution's costs are quite reasonable given the range of features provided."

"It is based on the usage. If you're using it, you pay for it, and if you're not using it, you stop paying for it."

"I am satisfied with its price. Its price is very less as compared to Tableau and QlikView."

"There is room for at least 45% discount as compared to the initial price."

"The only other cost, besides the licensing fee, would be to cover support."

"It depends upon the tier of your Office 365 subscription. On E5, which is a Microsoft Azure subscription, you get it for free. If you are on a lower tier, you can subscribe for $10 a month per user, which is really cheap."

"Its licensing cost is very high. It is $20 per user, which is very high, but it is a good product, so you pay for it."
