Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft BI
We use Microsoft BI primarily just within our lab group and department due to its very specific and powerful data visualization capabilities. While it is applicable to almost any work involving data analytics, it might seem like overkill for some people. We have found that it does an excellent job in preparing and displaying the more complex data that we deal with.
- Data display in graphs and tables
- Compatibility with other Microsoft products
- User-friendly and informative reporting
- Data compatibility with non-Microsoft products
- Data sourcing functionality is poor
- Offline server functionality impedes out of country work
- Torqus Systems POS, UltiPro, Sisense, Domo, Zoho Analytics, Dundas BI, Looker, Qualtrics, Infragistics ReportPlus, QlikView, Tableau Desktop, SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform and IBM Cognos
Specific data displays are some of the strongest aspects of Microsoft BI when compared to alternate programs. It also does a superior job in compatibility with many programs, especially those from Microsoft. Since my company primarily uses Office 365 and other Microsoft products, Microsoft BI is the natural choice among competitors.
