Excellent for budgeting and forecasting, but long-term it will no longer be developed or supported

The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble. Additionally, I think we underestimated the time for deployment, we thought it would be a few months and it took much longer than expected because the consultants didn't understand our process in detail before committing to the process. On a scale of one to ten, I would give Hubble a seven.

Interactive dashboards have transformed restaurant data into faster daily business decisions

Microsoft Power BI has many features and there is not a lot to improve. However, the licensing can be confusing. When deciding between Pro and Premium, I find it difficult to distinguish what features are offered by Pro and what features are offered by Premium, including the particular differences to choose between both licensing models. Additionally, some features such as DAX, which I mentioned previously, involve DAX calculations and complex data modeling, which are somewhat advanced and not easily understandable. Prior knowledge is required or you need to go through the documentation. If the documentation is made comprehensive so that anyone with no knowledge on DAX can easily use it by going through the documentation, it would be really helpful. Additionally, if the integration with non-Microsoft tools is improved and performance is optimized, then Microsoft Power BI can become a top-ranked visualization tool. The user experience with Microsoft Power BI is quite good. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to create reports. However, only the advanced features are somewhat complex, and if the documentation is improved, it can be easily accessible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hubble will truly blow you away once you get to know the product and the people behind it."

"Being able to create calculations, hierarchies, aging buckets, etc. has reduced the Excel reports we used to have."

"Reporting was dramatically improved."

"We have saved hours of Excel work producing the same results, which Hubble gives in minutes."

"The most valuable features are both its budgeting and forecasting."

"Overall, this is a good tool and I recommend it."

"The product is scalable."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"My primary use case is for the performance, compared to MS Dynamics NAV, and flexibility in data and dashboard building."

"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."

"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."

"Microsoft BI is better than most solutions we have, and it's pretty easy to conduct analysis with it."

"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"We have been advised by the owners that the budgeting tool is no longer going to be supported with future development, so my recommendation would be for them to continue to invest in development. Otherwise, at some point we will have to migrate to another technology."

"Exporting to Excel takes a lot of time when broken into sheets/files."

"When exporting to Excel, it is values only."

"The fact that in a few years' time it is no longer going to be supported is a big concern. Therefore, I would advise against Hubble."

"The only thing I may add is that it can get a little pricey when you add annual maintenance."

"An area for improvement is data refresh functionality"

"The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team."

"It's quite difficult to learn how to use Power BI."

"In my opinion, it would be better for the price to be degressive by the user, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."

"The initial installation is difficult."

"It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI."

"here are some limitations with the data models needed to build the report."

"We did have some issues building the Microsoft blog."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."

"We have enterprise licenses and some of the other tools or features come as a package and others you have to purchase separately."

"Our license is paid yearly and we have found that we have to be careful not to over-extend our usage in order to avoid upgrading our capacity plan."

"I used the tool's free version."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive."

"The licensing can be complicated."

"Downloading Power BI Desktop is free."

"Power BI is subscription-based, and you have three options. The Pro edition, which is the standard one, is about $9 per user. The Premium edition, which provides AI and cloud capabilities but at a limited size, is for small to medium enterprises. It is about $20 per user. For large enterprises, such as manufacturing facilities, there is an option for the capacity. The capacity subscription is about $4,000 per capacity level. They also have an option for the on-premises version, but it is not common to see someone going for the on-premises version. The on-premises version requires a specific license that is attached to SQL Server. I believe it is about $17,000, but I'm not sure about it."
