Microsoft Power BI vs NetSuite Business Intelligence comparison

"The solution's most valuable feature is the graphic representation."

"Microsoft BI's dashboards are helpful."

"The various different ETL tools within it and the ability to have different data refreshes and scheduled refreshes [real-time data refresh capabilities] have most significantly improved the data analysis processes."

"The dashboards of Microsoft BI are easy to use."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources."

"The user interface is easy to work with."

"We found the initial setup to be straightforward."

"Provides data feeds for enterprise KPI reporting."

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."

"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."

"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."

"An area for improvement is data refresh functionality"

"The initial setup is a little bit technical."

"I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in."

"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version. It would be beneficial if they could be brought down to the on-premise version without the necessity of using the enterprise SQL database, as that can be very costly. We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."

"Its desktop tool is a little bit memory CPU intensive, and it can be improved, but the machines nowadays come with a lot of memory. For the desktop users who are using it on the desktop, we recommend that they do an upgrade. It is a minor issue. We can fix it on the desktop."

"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."

"Graphics are limited and could be improved."

"I rate the product pricing a ten."

"Power BI's price is reasonable, especially if you can put it in some bigger package and use it with other products. The value of a solution doesn't just come from its features as a standalone product. The price should also reflect how easy it's to set up, clean data, and integrate with other solutions."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

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

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"Pricing is a big advantage that Power BI has over Tableau. Power BI is three or four times cheaper than Tableau. For my personal use, I will definitely prefer a $20 monthly fee of Power BI rather than a $70 monthly fee of Tableau. If you pay altogether for Power BI, they give you a discount, whereas, with Tableau, there is no discount. There are three versions of Power BI: Free, Pro, and Premium. The Premium version comes with a lot of things. There is no extra or hidden fee. You pay every month, and the software is with you. If you upgrade, there will be some extra charges."

"There is room for at least 45% discount as compared to the initial price."
