COMPARISONS

OF BI TOOLS

PRESENTED BY HSU LET

POWER BI

 Affordability

 Custom Visualization (custom visualizations in reports
and dashboards)
 Excel Integration (Tubular Form)
 Data Connectivity (XML, Json, Microsoft Excel, SQL
Server databases, Azure sources, cloud-based sources,
online services such as Google Analytics, Facebook,
MongoDb etc.)
 Prompt Updates (Microsoft Monthly update)
 Embedded (embedded in apps and web  to reach users)
 Gateways (personal and standard gateways)
 Data Accessibility (Centralized location, access
anytime, anywhere)
 Interactive Visualizations 
 Table Relationships (If they have more than one links between
tables, Power BI might not handle them well)
  Configuration of Visuals (Power BI does not provide
many options to configure visualizations)
 Crowded User Interface
 Rigid Formulas (DAX, still not the easiest language to work)
 Handling large data volume (Free 2GBs at a time, more than
that if paid)
 Complex to understand and master (if more than
creating reports, need to master several other
tools Gateways, Power BI Report Server, Power BI Services)
 TABLAEU
 Data Visualization
 Quickly create interactive visualizations 
 Ease of Implementation (very easy to learn compared
to Python, Business Objects and Domo, anyone
without having knowledge of coding can easily learn
Tableau)
 Handle large amount of data (Different types of visualization
can be created with a large amount of data without impacting
the performance of the dashboards)
 Use of other scripting languages (for complex
table calculations, Incoporation with R, Python)
 Data Connectivity (Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server,
Google Cloud SQL, Postgre SQL, Apache Drill, Mongo DB)
 Scheduling or Notification of reports (no automatic refreshing
of the reports with the help of scheduling)
 No custom visual imports 
 Custom formatting (If 16 columns, need to create manually.
Time consuming)
 Static and single value parameters (no way a user
can automate the updating of parameters)
 Screen Resolution for Dashboards (Dashboards are
not responsive. Need to create a dashboard for mobile
and desktop)
 Limited Data Preprocessing (Allow very basic preprocessing,
joining and blending.)
 Scaling and pricing for enterprise (a very expensive product
to scale across a  large organization)
 QLIK VIEW
 User Driven Approach (Build charts with negligible coding)

 BI Agility (faster and better results to help business grow  Expensive Product Strategy 

more effective)  Considerably Expensive

 Implementation (smooth implementation in a very short span  Performance with respect to speed (poor performance with
of time) respect its blistering speed)
 Flexibility (ETL )  Reporting on Email (Terrible Design)
 Agricultural Strength ( multicore processor )  Upgrade of Server RAM (no visible plan)
 Dashboard (intuitive and innovative set of dashboard which  Usability (Tedious for non-technical user to build reprots)
is customizable)
 Data Consolidation (consolidate data in highly effective
manner)
 Filtering of Data (Filtering with graphs and tables)

 Use of RAM of server 

 SISENSE

 Full Stacks BI Tools with SQL Liscening

 Error Status is difficult to understand
 Several Plugins
 Several Plugins
 Fast to visualize
 Typical running with several little bugs 
 East of use
 More modern than others (Automated alerts)
 Beautiful UI Design
 Exporting of dashboard to power point is not easy
 Much prettier than Tableau UI (Exporting dashboard to image)
 Not as flexible as Tableau
