Microsoft Power BITreasure Data

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.

Any time you need to process and store very large volumes of data at scale, Treasure Data will aways be at the forefront of my mind. Especially if the data being handled is constantly changing or evolving, rigid schemas just wont do. Treasure Data has the ability to adapt as your product needs change over time. Having the storage and processing flexibility is a huge win.

  • CDP provides a unified view of data from all touchpoints in the customer journey until a single customer uses the service. This feature is very helpful in making service decisions and direction.
  • It provides a variety of extensions to bring your data together in one place and helps you do this easily.
  • Kits provided by Treasure Box provide basic but helpful methods for further development of services.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Pricing is a bit of a black box. We are currently priced on split hour usage and some spikes come out of nowhere and leave us seeking answers (and sometimes finding unsatisfactory ones).
  • Some jobs will fail, causing workflows to be interrupted due to a product change or a one-time product related issue. We usually contact Support in these cases, and while they are incredibly responsive and helpful, it would be great to have more proactive communication.
  • Treasure's UI leaves us wanting more in terms of organization and controls, especially as we scale and grow the number of data sources, queries, and workflows.

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.

Because treasure data is a great platform with a great support team behind, it's a scalable solution that deals well with huge amounts of data every day and has a huge catalog of integrations that can be easily use to download data from several platforms, like aws s3, redshift, google bigquery.

Usability
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.

If you are a data person, you will likely understand the product and how to use it well. We did find that some of our queries run into memory issues though. If you are a marketer and want to build easy audience segments, I am not sure how easy it will be for you. We are still working through this.

Support Rating
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.

The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • When there are Treasure Data updates, there might be old functions that are deprecated or existing functions which no longer work as before --> this may have impact on existing workflows/queries
  • As many developers are working on the same environment, the jobs are queued because there is a limited amount of computation cores available --> if we want to increase it, our client needs to pay for more cores
  • As data are increasing, some workflows are too expensive and need to be rethought / made more efficient --> this means re-designing existing workflows and also requires constant support from Treasure Data which analyzes the queries and identifies points of improvement that allows client to pay less
