Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal

Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows. This makes Power BI difficult to manage as loading times can reach one or two minutes, which is problematic today. There are challenges with scalability, requiring multiple pages in dashboards to manage these issues. Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated. Users, especially newcomers, find it unappealing and not user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The stability is good."

"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."

"I have found the best features to be the dashboard creation, graphs, charts, and presentation bar graphs."

"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."

"There is a lot of help and documentation on the Internet, so no special training is needed to use the source code."

"Power BI stands out because it provides considerable flexibility in creating reports, dashboards, and various types of analytics to meet those dynamic requirements. It is lightweight and easy to use with good support."

"The reports are easy to create."

"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."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"We identified a couple of issues in the reports. Some reports took too long to load, particularly at the end of our data refresh."

"I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity."

"The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools."

"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."

"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."

"It is kept very current, and there is an update literally every month. However, the interface changes quite randomly with no documentation, which is difficult at the domain and architectural level where you're planning things and engaging the business. Things change frequently, and you wonder where has the button for the new report gone. They should provide better documentation on interface changes. It should be better optimized. It is supposed to be a data integration tool, but it is doing relatively simple queries. It has its limitations. For example, you can only pull a number of columns. So, there is room for optimization on its ability to integrate multiple data sources. The desktop tool is very memory-intensive, and again, this is not documented clearly. It requires a heavy CPU and memory use, and it causes your operating systems to become unstable. I would like to see the ability to create datasets within Power BI. Microsoft is promoting Azure as a cloud solution, but it is dependent upon a desktop component, which seems a little bit deceptive. Data set is the basic element that you report from, but it has to be created on the desktop and then published to the cloud. So, you're in the cloud, and you create a data structure or the data flow, but you can't report from that. You have to leave the cloud, go to your desktop, create the data set on your desktop, and publish it to the cloud. You go back to the cloud and create your report by using that published data set, which is very non-intuitive. If you go to the Microsoft Power BI community, this is a common complaint across the entire community."

"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."

"They are improving it all the time. What would be nice is if they could respond to feature requests more quickly. They can provide faster support for new features."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

"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."

"We're charged a monthly subscription fee of 500 rupees per person."

"Microsoft BI is very cost-effective and this is why we use it."

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."

"The price of Microsoft BI is expensive. We found the price of Tableau to be less expensive."

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
