Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal

Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows. This makes Power BI difficult to manage as loading times can reach one or two minutes, which is problematic today. There are challenges with scalability, requiring multiple pages in dashboards to manage these issues. Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated. Users, especially newcomers, find it unappealing and not user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The most valuable feature would be the abundance of connectors. It is also easy to use."

"Ease of development and maintenance."

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

"Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes."

"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."

"The stability is good."

"The product's most valuable features are DAX functions for formulas and calculations."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft pros

Cons

"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."

"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."

"Microsoft BI’s integration and visualization could be improved."

"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."

"There is no specific area that I have a problem with. It's just that, with whatever feature you come across, every visual has its own formatting and behavior. What you get in one visual for a feature, you don't seem to get in another."

"I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future."

"The solution is somewhat costly in comparison with MSBI tools."

"We need more integration capabilities."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"I would like to see better support for big data."

"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

"The upgrades are not easy."

More TIBCO Jaspersoft cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very reasonable compared to any other tool."

"It is part of our Office 365 license."

"I am satisfied with its price. Its price is very less as compared to Tableau and QlikView."

"Microsoft BI is free for the personal edition, but there is also a paid-for professional version."

"The price of Microsoft BI is expensive. We found the price of Tableau to be less expensive."

"The cost of the solution is more flexible for us because the desktop is free and we pay as we use it in the cloud."

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

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

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
