Microsoft Power BI vs Oracle DataRaker [EOL] comparison

"The solution is easy to install and it does not take long."

"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."

"Tech support is very helpful."

"Quick sharing of data from source to business users is very useful."

"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."

"There is a feature in Microsoft BI that allows JSON data to SQL on the dashboards effectively and quickly."

"The stability of the product is good; it doesn't crash or freeze, there are no bugs or glitches, and it's reliable."

"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."

"Through my interactions with them, I’m finding that they're knowledgeable."

"The integration with other solutions could be improved for reporting aspects."

"The Power Query feature needs to be improved to handle large amounts of data. This feature is also slow for large data transfers making it better to use some kind of script."

"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."

"The visual outlet or the visualization aspect can be improved because the settings piece is quite problematic. It requires a lot of time to set the visuals and check. It is quite fiddly to change all the settings and font sizes. It just needs better ability in terms of using templates or visualization templates to get the vision. Our users always benchmark based on the product, and they don't appreciate everything under the bonnet. The only rating is based on the actual reports in the settings for the dashboard. They should make it look a bit funky and a bit more aesthetically pleasing on the eye. It is quite a fiddly tool, but other than that, it is pretty slick. Because it is community-driven, the marketplace tends to be changing forever. You get the standard visualizations, and you've also got all other marketplace visualizations that require you to spend a bit more money and purchase things in the marketplace. With certain visualizations, there is no longevity. I had used certain visualizations, but they discontinued them, and I had to rebuild my reports, which is obviously very frustrating. There should be some sort of stabilization around how the marketplace visuals impact the users when they expire."

"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."

"Solving things in DAX is not a nice approach to a user that has no knowledge of IT nor wants to get it."

"I would like it to be a little bit more secure when I'm using the design feature on my desktop. For example, to have the ability to set up security passwords for opening the file. Currently, they don't have that. Tableau, for example, has a visual way of doing data processing steps, whereas the Power BI system still has some code, although it is very low code. It would be great to have the kind of view that Tableau has."

"Visualization systems are still relatively young."

"My rating reflects that, quite often, we don't know what we want, and the solution thinks they know what you want."

"I used the tool's free version."

"Power BI premium is really expensive for our market. A lot of small and medium companies would like to purchase it, but they can't afford it."

"Globally, we evaluated a number of products, including Salesforce's product, Microsoft won on the ground of simple functionally and cost."

"Power BI is cost-effective compared to other reporting tools."

"Microsoft Power BI has reasonable pricing."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"Price is the best feature of Power BI! You get a lot of value for the price. If you know how to use it, it's a great BI solution for your money."

"The only other cost, besides the licensing fee, would be to cover support."
