Microsoft Power BI vs NetSuite Business Intelligence comparison

"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."

"The solution is easy to set up and implement."

"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."

"The amount of customization that you can do is good, and it's relatively straightforward to do."

"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."

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

"Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable."

"The drag and drop facility to easily change the data correctly is the most valuable feature. I am happy to see visualizations. It's easier to talk about and make people understand what is going on."

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

"There needs to be improved guidance and documentation for the initial setup of Power BI as it currently remains complex."

"Microsoft BI could improve by having better collaboration between developers working on the same dashboard. The developer platform is all done on a single laptop and it's difficult to have the same project files work. Two developers have to go back and forth. You have to have the project file on one developer's laptop making it difficult to co-develop."

"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."

"I would like to see a change in the premium capacity."

"When I create measures, sometimes the error messages aren't clear. It makes me spend more time searching for solutions. I need the error messages to be more specific. So, I would like clearer error messages when creating measures."

"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."

"The dashboards lack a user-friendly appearance."

"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."

"Graphics are limited and could be improved."

"The Report Server is pretty expensive on-premise. But as long companies are happy to use the cloud version, that's very cost effective."

"They have a free Power BI Desktop version, but it has limitations."

"Remove the cost of a licence to show a dashboard within SharePoint. Why should readers of a dashboard have to pay to view? ​"

"It depends upon the tier of your Office 365 subscription. On E5, which is a Microsoft Azure subscription, you get it for free. If you are on a lower tier, you can subscribe for $10 a month per user, which is really cheap."

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

"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."

"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."

"Microsoft BI is considered to be competitively priced when compared to other similar solutions in the market."
