User Testimonials
	Jet Reports	Microsoft Power BI
Likelihood to Recommend	Jet Reports is well suited whrn you have all the data handy in excel files. But it gets a little tricky if you want to get the live data from social media or any other channels. I wish it had a better integration abilities with other websites or/and channels Incentivized Ojas Korde Digital Paid Media Strategist Read full review	Microsoft Power BI is great for sales tracking, financial reporting, and real-time operations monitoring. It integrates data from multiple sources, creating interactive dashboards for better decision-making. However, it's less ideal for real-time big data processing, offline access, or when deep customization is needed. It works best for structured reporting but struggles with highly complex data models. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy to use Combine information such as statistical information and financial information and then does computations based on the information Create cash flow reporting Incentivized CL C L CAO (Chief Accounting Officer) Read full review	It is great at taking in large amounts of data and housing it all. Microsoft Power BI is so user friendly and it's dashboards are very easy on the eye. The ease of sharing dashboards makes it great for use across a large company. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Licensing is at times a challenge if you are using a Citrix remote desktop or remoting into a server. For complex formulas the wizard could provide more contextual help. More online documentation would be a big help for new users. Incentivized Matt Scamardo, CSM Consulting Solutions Analyst Read full review	It would be easier for users could Microsoft Power BI and Excel used the same programming languages. Would like to see the online version of Microsoft Power BI be as powerful as the desktop version. Publishing a Microsoft Power BI file online and then having to save the file is somewhat redundant. Would like to export each page or chart as an image. Incentivized SM Sherri MacCheyne Director, Strategic Operations Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	Microsoft Power BI is an excellent and scalable tool. It has a learning curve, but once you get past that, the sky is the limit and you can build from the most simple to the most complex dashboards. I have built everything from simple reports with only a few data points to complex reports with many pages and advanced filtering. David Jensen Operations Manager, Customer Success Read full review
Usability	Because it is not the costliest tool in this category but it serves the purpose. It is easy to use, cost effective, and works really well with the data stored on cloud. It has wide range of dashboard templates which go really well with different types of data sets. I would love to use it agains and again Incentivized Ojas Korde Digital Paid Media Strategist Read full review	Takes a little bit to get used to it. Not natively intuitive but fairly straight forward to pick up. Also docking it a few points because you can create a really clean, simple UI in Claude very quickly that's faster than building all of this yourself in Microsoft Power BI. Incentivized TI Tanner Ingalls Data Product Manager & Data Scientist Read full review
Support Rating	I hinestly have not used the support a lot but i have always had to way for longer durations to get a response on my emails. I have tried calling them a few times and the wait time was a little more than what i expected. They were able to answer my queries nonetheless Incentivized Ojas Korde Digital Paid Media Strategist Read full review	It is a fantastic tool, you can do almost everything related with data and reports, it is a perfect substitutive of Power Point and Excel with a high evolution and flexibility, and also it is very friendly and easy to share. I think all companies should have Power BI (or other BI tool) in their software package and if they are in the MS Suite, for sure Power BI should be the one due to all the benefits of the MS ecosystem. Incentivized JM Jose-Angel Mangas Global Digital Operations Manager - BA Electrification Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	It was integrated with our erp easily and was accessible on cloud. Incentivized Anuj Sant Technical Supply chain professional Senior buyer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Besides SQL, I have used no other similar reports Incentivized Grant Nelson, CPA Accounting Manager Read full review	All others apps are enablers and Microsoft Power BI is the visual that end user sees which often adds more value to the end user to make strategic decisions from this. All are equally great but Microsoft Power BI is the end result Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Prediction analysis has helped the business to make future plans Report scheduling has eliminated a lot of manual work Incentivized Ojas Korde Digital Paid Media Strategist Read full review	We're still early in the adoption process at this company, but we've illustrated how bad data keeps us from being more productive. ~25% of a team's work week was dedicated to effectively cleaning up entries, but it was always seen as a normal to them.
