- Reviewers mention that Visier's Data Discovery feature, rated at 9.4, allows for seamless exploration of data insights, making it a favorite among enterprise users. Microsoft Power BI, with a score of 8.6, offers solid data discovery capabilities but lacks some of the depth that Visier provides.
- Users on G2 highlight Visier's Quality of Support, which scores 9.0, as a significant advantage, with many praising the responsiveness and expertise of the support team. Microsoft Power BI, scoring 8.4, has a good support system but does not match the level of personalized assistance that Visier offers.
- Reviewers mention that while both products have strong Data Visualization capabilities, Visier's score of 9.4 stands out, particularly for its ability to create visually appealing and informative dashboards. Microsoft Power BI, with a score of 9.2, is also effective but may require more effort to achieve similar results.
- Users say that Visier's Data Transformation feature, rated at 9.2, is particularly powerful, allowing for complex data manipulations with ease. In comparison, Microsoft Power BI's score of 8.8 indicates it is capable but may not provide the same level of flexibility and user-friendliness.
