Raven Tools vs Microsoft Power BI Comparison

Lightweight, easy to use, good data visualisation

Integration with other tools could be easier

Very well integrated with microsoft applications which makes a lot easier to import and export the data. Also, great features for data visualization, platform to code in R is like icing on the cake which helps to make customizable dashboards.

Stiff competition from other data visualization tools

The ability to use maps right out of the box and quickly was very nice. I also really liked how the engine would associate colors with dimensions.

The interface was a little clunky and finding the tools you were looking for was not so easy. It is missing an associative model engine.

Love being able to mash up multiple data sources into one report

Needs more documentation on how to use all the tools

The how easy to use is this tool in dashboard management

Some features we have in others tools like customize filters

I like the amount of flexibility you have to find analytics within your business.

Some of the tools aren't as intuitive as I would like.

Helps with Business Intelligence, data visualization, and a powerful tool.

This is sometimes more complex than other tools on the market.

Very easy to use data visualization tool

There are many tools available in the market with less cost

Integration into existing office applications - it's fantastic that you're able to insert Power BI charts straight into presentations. It's integration directly into other software packages like Zendesk is also a game changer, makes it very easy to pull in data from disparate data sources.

Not as well established as some of its competitors, and it's licensing model is a bit complicated, but other than that it's very useful as a BI package.

Easy to build dashboards using multiple data source. Have great integration to O365 so you can publish report and view on Teams

Some on the visualization tools are not straight forward and it might take some time to understand how to use them. Some capabilities are missing and in Excel can be found. Why?

It integrates very well with other Microsoft products. Especially if you are using it on Azure

It lacks some AI and machine learning features available in other reporting tools.

Comprehensive visualization tools Smart widgets, charts to understand the data

Pricing is little on steeper side Overwhelming UI

I like that I can import data from different file formats, not just a specific format. I like that i have the ability to reshape and edit my data before applying any analytical tool. Also, the interface is very easy and similar to other Microsoft products so it will be easy to deal with if you have previous background with other micrsoft applications .

The collaborative tools that Microsoft Power BI offers are very limited as it is hard to manage a project with my team through it. Also, I can't benefit from windows overlapping if I want to work on several workspaces at the same time.

It's very flexible and easy to use. Creating dashboards is pretty simple in Power BI and it's very cheap.

Lack of inbuilt features and it has a limit of 1GB per dataset.

It has great visualization features. Also it's easier to use than other BI tools. It needs less "learning curve" than other BI tools like Tableau, Qlik etc. Also it has great "sharing" features.

It's a bit heavy and sometimes it freezes. Filter function would be more effective. Also more native connectors to other analytic tools are needed.

Very powerful with lots of options on how to use it

Doesnt look the best visually compared to other tools. Can be a bit slow and hard to use

PowerBI Helped My Team Report More Effectively. We were able to quickly report out on the status of projects and save time with out having to update slide decks we previously leveraged for reporting.

Some API’s with 3rd party tools weren’t easy to connect and data was sometimes lost in an upload.

Platform with a plethora of data source connectors that is extremely strong. It's extremely user-friendly. Capabilities for data visualization that are second to none.

Data preparation tools are divided into desktop and mobile versions. On the free edition, the refresh period is capped.

It give you solution for a lot of workflows cases. It's very simple to use,and no deep knowledge is needed. You can use it without any coding experience. It has a very good integration with all enterprise common applications.

it's not well fitted for any test case. For complex operations you are going to need more advance tools.

Has various visualization tools like bar graph , pie charts. Filtering capibility is cool

For a beginner might be little difficult understanding the featured

1. The Report as you wish 2. User friendly 3. Efficient way to run more number of reports 4. Better business decisions 5. Upgrading options

1. Graphical tools can be improved 2. Filter options can be improved 3. Other than that such a wonderful toll

This is the best visualization tool on the market as well as the cheapest. Very easy to use as it is based on excel.

Lacks some of the features and tools as some of the other products that have been in the market longer.

i like that it is highly dynamic and there is a lot of great functionality

it needs to be made easier to use so that all the great tools can be fully understood and implemented

Microsoft Power BI is an amazing tool for what it allows its users to produce, a fundamental piece of the Microsoft suite.

Despite being extremely useful, Power Bi is unfortunately not very easy or intuitive to use as other Microsoft tools are.

State of the art and easy to use with data management of information
