Unified data workflows have simplified certification prep and improved hands-on analytics practice
The unified workspace is the biggest advantage I experienced while building those data pipelines and working with OneLake storage. Having data ingestion, transformation, storage, and reporting all within one platform significantly reduces the complexity of switching between tools. The integration with the broader Microsoft ecosystem felt natural, especially for someone who is already familiar with Azure services. The Microsoft Learn documentation and sandbox environments made it accessible for structured self-study. Fabric Data's strongest aspect positively impacts my organization and my work with its native integration across the Microsoft data stack. OneLake serves as a single unified storage layer across all Fabric Data workloads, meaning data written by a pipeline is immediately accessible in Lakehouse, Warehouse, and Power BI without duplication or manual transfer. This eliminates the data silo problem that commonly affects multi-tool environments. Dataflow Gen2 uses the familiar Power Query interface, making it accessible to analysts already working in Excel or Power BI. The output of a dataflow can be directly directed into a Lakehouse table, which then becomes queryable via the SQL analytics endpoint without additional configuration, significantly impacting my workflow.

Centralized analytics has transformed time series optimization and collaboration across teams
In my opinion, the best feature Seeq offers is the ability to visualize time series data in an efficient way. If we code it by ourselves, it will take a very long time or require a lot of server capacity, and you cannot simply plot a time series of, say, 100,000 records on your own simply because it takes a lot of effort to do that. Analyzing it when we apply any formula or algorithm takes more time to finalize everything. Seeq does this through drag and drop and point and click actions. So, it is much easier to do it by using this tool. Seeq has positively impacted my organization because I see many people using it, compared to the past five years when we had only PI Vision for visualizing time series data. Manipulating time series data was such a critical task that not many people were familiar with and were afraid to do. This task remains a core critical function for everyone to do it efficiently in order to complete anything. Process optimization and reliability analysis would address all failure modes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate about Fabric Data is that it is easy to use and user-friendly, and additionally, it is cost-efficient."
"The best features Fabric Data offers are its versatility, as you can use data fabric for many uses in one single platform."
"Everybody should give Fabric Data a try because it is the easiest tool that I have ever used."
"Fabric Data has allowed us to change that and put the entire solution in one package and one environment, and that also makes things much more stable."
"Fabric Data is very useful for our organization and our clients as well, saving time, simplicity, and offering many benefits."
"The best features are that the entire ecosystem is inside Microsoft and it is under a SaaS platform."
"I enjoy working with the pipelines since they provide a full end-to-end use case for me to take the data and report everything in one place instead of going back and forth with databases and engineers, allowing me to feel as a data scientist, data engineer, and business analyst in one location, giving me full authority to control everything."
"Previously, we were using Databricks for this, but we switched to Fabric Data because Fabric Data is more integrated, we don't need to shift our data from one tool to another, and all the processing and visualization can be done inside Microsoft Fabric Data."
"Based on my experience, I recommend using Seeq, especially if you need to visualize and monitor real-time data."
"The product is stable."
"I love how easy Seeq is to use and how quickly you can build an analysis."
"Seeq has impacted our organization positively because now with Seeq training, we are able to put it out to more people."
"For smart manufacturing applications only, we were able to save up to $10 million a year."
"I like Seeq because it’s very useful for production surveillance. It provides detailed insights, like the ability to view data down to the minute, which is helpful for tracking when a well goes offline. This feature is particularly beneficial for our needs. However, we don’t use Seeq for predictive analytics; we handle that with other software."
"Seeq positively impacts my organization by enabling us to analyze significantly more data and use advanced analytic techniques that were previously reserved for programmers, opening that capability up to scientists who had no programming experience."
"What I liked most about Seeq was its user-friendly design."
 

Cons

"One area Fabric Data can be improved is the semantic model refresh. Though it says it is a direct link, the refresh times of the semantic model sometimes need explicit refresh."
"Fabric Data could be improved in the future by increasing the size capability from terabyte to petabyte for deeper integration."
"One thing regarding needed improvements is related to the free tier or trial capacity. When I was learning Microsoft Azure services, it was very easy to get credits and a free account, but in Fabric, it was inconvenient to get a free tier or trial capacity."
"The inability to monitor properly and having to build in fail conditions in pipelines, or navigate around it, was so painful that it is borderline unuseful for any large company in a production environment, and that would be at the top of my list."
"I felt some features of Fabric Data, particularly around Dataflow Gen2 error handling and pipeline monitoring, lack clear documentation at the time of my study."
"I felt some features, particularly around the Dataflow Gen2 error handling and pipeline monitoring, lacked clear documentation at the time of my study."
"There needs to be improvement in error handling and resource management because some of the documentation is not clear."
"I think Fabric Data could be improved by adding more notebooks, even though it currently has one."
"The technical support services need improvement."
"The solution does not break down, but there will be a delay in buffering or caching if you are caching data for more than ten years."
"But customers who purchase Seeq and expect its dashboarding feature to be competitive with Power BI and Grafana might be disappointed."
"Within the organization structure and sometimes when trying to replicate existing worksheets and organizer topics from one Seeq system to another, there is no import or export feature of those tools."
"In terms of needed improvements, for machine monitoring, we used to create our own software to conduct monitoring."
"In Seeq Organizer, we've realized that process engineers want dashboards with more drag-and-drop features, like Power BI."
"However, the product is challenging to use given the multitude of features, and not everyone can immediately start using it, particularly on the administration side."
"Regarding AI, I wish Seeq had AI capabilities. For instance, if Seeq could analyze graphs and offer recommendations, it would be advantageous. Currently, there is no AI feature in Seeq. In terms of improvements, it would be great if Seeq could enhance its data export features and possibly integrate more functionalities to reduce the need for multiple software tools. I would like a specific feature related to predictive analysis, which Seeq currently lacks."
