    We would have many technical issues and glitches with previous similar providers but found that Azure Analysis Services can simply handle our workload and memory better. I remember we lost an account due to cloud issues not fully saving or corrupting some files. Granted, this is rare with any cloud but haven't had that issue with the same load of memory with Azure Analysis Services.

    Pros
    Microsoft
    • Providing role based access or we can say privilege based on the role to the user if it is integrated with Azure active directory and hence securing the access to sensitive data.
    • We use to run different type of analytics services to get the better result which is hectic if done manually or with human efforts.
    • We also use to collect bulk of data with the help of this tool and run customized test cases for better efficiency of result and better decision making. The result are very crucial and helps in taking big decision.
    • It supports different or we can say heterogeneous database vendors like the Oracle, SQL, and hence make the task easy.

    The platform has vast number of features and modules. The UI is sleek and once you get to use to it, you will be able to do a lot of stuff. Also support for data sources is more in Azure Analysis Services.

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • The tool has helped us a lot for taking critical decision which has resulted in the increase of profit of organization by 18 percent.
    • Return on investment is 70 percent as we are unable to utilize the tool with full functionalities, so we are still testing some of the use cases.
    • Human effort has been reduced and task has become automated hence helped in cost management

    Entendo Screenshots

    Screenshot of Entendo's landing page, which introduces the product's core promise: Ask. We understand. Users type any business question in plain language and get the answer instantly — with charts, context, and reasoning — no SQL, no IT tickets, no waiting for the BI team.Screenshot of where users can upload a spreadsheet or CSV, connect their own SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle), or sync tables from a cloud service like Google Sheets. File upload is the recommended path for first-time users who want to evaluate the product on their own data before connecting production systems.Screenshot of where Entendo connects directly to existing production databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle — using read-only credentials you control. The architecture is read-only by design with four layers of SQL sanitization, so the AI agents can never write, update, or delete data.Screenshot of the conversational interface, which delivers analysis as a complete answer. In this view, the AI is responding about a pessimistic scenario: a revenue line chart on top, headline KPIs in the middle (current revenue, scenario impact, variation percentage), and a comparative bar chart at the bottom. Everything is generated live from the connected database.Screenshot of the Business Analytics Agent responding to a real question: "show me an analysis of the actions being continuously taken to grow revenue by 30%." Instead of dumping a chart, the agent delivers a structured diagnosis — overall picture, central problem, root-cause hypothesis, and concrete actions — grounded in the user's own data.Screenshot of an AI generated chart that can be pinned to a dashboard with a click. This example shows a wholesale operations dashboard with four views: weekly sales by day, top products by unit, critical stock products, and inventory turnover ratio. Dashboards are shareable across the workspace, so the whole team sees the same numbers.
