Can build reports easily and offers unlimited view access of them in a single dashboard

Ivanti Xtraction provides reports in a single dashboard. We can ask the executive leadership to review it. It has unlimited view access. You can view the reports but won't be able to edit them. The solution makes it easy to build reports and send them. It has filters, and you can filter the results based on time, date, etc. The view will go back to normal once refreshed.

Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see."

"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."

"It gives us, the ability to do a lot of analysis quickly, similar to ad hoc analysis."

"Its ease of use is most valuable."

"The data can be accessed from anywhere."

"The main feature I find valuable is the possibility to work with an extensive amount of data."

"The ROI is high for small teams or basic use cases with limited datasets."

"One of the key benefits of Power BI is how easy it is to develop reports."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"The tool's graphics need to be updated."

"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."

"I believe there is room for improvement in terms of authentication and certain functionalities in Power BI. For instance, adjusting the width of columns is not easily done, as there is only an option to enable or disable automatic adjustment. This can be a significant drawback for clients who desire more flexibility."

"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient."

"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."

"Powerpoints are not available in the report server."

"It would be better if they had some video tutorials. Most people from an Excel background may struggle with measures in Microsoft BI."

"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."

"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Its pricing is reasonable for the desktop stuff, but for enterprise-level, it is a little expensive."

"Microsoft BI requires licenses."

"We are end-users, and we don't take care of the prices and accounting. We get a product and pay the fee to our internal service provider, but its price should be reasonable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bought it."

"It is based on the usage. If you're using it, you pay for it, and if you're not using it, you stop paying for it."

"We view it as an expensive product."

"For my primary use case, i.e. teaching students, the free version of Power BI is adequate."

"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."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive."
