"Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

Automation and scheduling are so powerful. It comes with rich resources to help newbies to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

It should be easy to run across all platforms and API supports if one wants to integrate it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our current process takes longer than a day to run, and we have had to implement a temporary workaround that doesn't fully meet our needs. Using Power BI, we can replace this nightly batch process with a constantly updating resource that our clients can access in real-time. The most significant benefit of this is the ability to provide real-time reporting rather than waiting for updates until the following day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Heavily Documented Reporting Tool"

5/5

What do you like best about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

As a newer user to the tools, it is fairy beneficial that there are a lot of resources documenting the functionality. This makes it easier for somebody with little to no experience to set up dashboards and reports with little difficulty. The technology is growing rapidly, and the changes that have been made since SQL server 2016 are definitely worth noting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

I personally find that the interface is not intuitive. I have much more of a visual concrete brain that makes it difficult to more abstractly render the objects that need to be joined to get the end result. I end up building out what would be the SQL query in order to figure out how each piece is needed in power bi or as a dataset for SSRS. That could be because I am a DBA working with a poorly structured database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution solving and how is that benefiting you?

We currently have a process that takes more hours than we have in a day to run the way we need it to. We've had to put in place a temporary solution work around that is not fully meeting the functionality that we need. With power bi we are able to replace that nightly batch process with a constantly updating resource that our clients can access in real time instead of waiting for the next day to see updates. That real-time reporting is the biggest benefit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power BI and SSRS are improving softwares."

4/5

What do you like best about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

Power BI has several methods of visualizing data. PBI has good backend manipulation that allows you to create a kind of etl. SSRS is very good at giving you latest go to date data with little fuss to connect to databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution?

Power BI is improving, but getting updated datasets is limiting and frustrating. You need to use things like power automate to continually refresh data. SSRS has lousy graph bars and visuals that are beyond tables. I never use SSRS for visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution:

I would recommend not using PBI if you want automatic refreshing. If you want good visual graphs, don't use SSRS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution solving and how is that benefiting you?

Data is accessible immediately through both (as long as it's not up to the minute), and SSRS subscriptions makes it easy to get emailed reports with excel, pdf or word docs. Power BI has subscriptions, but isn't nearly as good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Power BI Reports & SSRS Reports Distribution solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's definitely a good tool for automated delivery of reports. We used to build reports manually and export them from tools like this and email them ourselves. It's nice to set it and forget it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
