Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft Power BI is being used by a limited set of users in our organization. Since our organization is very huge (Approx. 300,000 employees) different departments have a different way of working. We have several vendor tools that are used organization-wide. The Microsoft Power BI tool particularly helps us to publishing dashboards and focus on some of the most critical areas and gaps. It has excellent visualizations that make our meetings and reports effective. It also has various patterns, themes, spot charts and at an advantage of low costs.
- Microsoft Power BI has excellent visualizations, patterns, spot charts.
- It has a great length of connectivity with databases and other software. This includes: MS Access, PL/SQL, JSON, SAP HANA, MySQL, etc.
- It's very cheap and helps focus on the right areas during presentations/meeting discussions.
- Microsoft Power BI could become a little more user friendly and added videos for training. This is one place where Tableau does a little better.
- Power BI also needs to become available in the cloud for better usage.
- Power BI deployment flexibility needs to be improved. This is better in other software.
- Algolia, SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards, Tableau Online, QlikView, Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service, TIBCO Data Virtualization, Alteryx Analytics and Talend Data Integration
Microsoft BI tool does a better job than most of the other software. The reason is excellent visualizations and its capability to connect with various other software and data sources. Tableau does a better job when it comes to tutorials and being more user-friendly. Also Tableau has an easier deployment mechanism. Cost wise Power BI is better than Tableau. Overall, Power BI would be in top two with Tableau in competition.
