We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and SAP Analytics Hub based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's a very easy-to-use solution."
"There is a lot of help and documentation on the Internet, so no special training is needed to use the source code."
"The way data is presented is very valuable. The amount of information that we can get at a glance is also valuable. You can then drill-down and see data from many different angles in the same chart by selecting certain things. Based on the selection, everything changes automatically. If we have four parameters in a particular item, when you select a parameter, the remaining charts on that page automatically change for that particular parameter."
"Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."
"The best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question."
"The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything."
"Microsoft BI is scalable."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"The product could have better analytics capabilities."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly interface with Microsoft BI."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the solution."
"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."
"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."
"The smart phone application could be improved, along with better graphics and faster updating."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
