Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is easy to use.""The most valuable features of Microsoft BI are its intuitiveness and ease to use.""There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources.""Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require.""The stability is good.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see.""It's pretty easy to set up the product.""Data integration enabled my organization to easily pool data from our varied system into one data warehouse."

"The tool helps to catch results and review them.""The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing.""The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective.""The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts."

Cons
"I'm missing collaborations functionality to operate or to work connected with multiple people on a data source or on virtualization. There should be more collaborations functions, such as in Confluence. We haven't explored the solution sufficiently in this area, but at this time it doesn't look sufficient.""One area for improvement in Microsoft Power BI is serviceability. Compared to one of its competitors: Tableau, there are a lot of things which you cannot do in this tool, that can be done in Tableau.""It should be more user-friendly and simple.""It has come a long way in terms of how it was working two years ago, but there are some things that you still can't do with it. For example, permission management and user access management are still a bit limited. It is basically based on the idea that everybody from the organization can see everything or limit the type of data they can see. If I want you to see only one report and the other guy to see another report, I can't do it. There should be a better way to manage permissions and users. It should also support external users much better.""Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process.""I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project.""Power BI could be improved by implementing more options for data integration. Nowadays, the cloud takes care of scalability and security. As we all know, data sources are increasing, so we get data from a variety of streams. But if we could get the downstream data into the database and update the reports more easily, Power BI would be better.""It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"The solution could run faster.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better."
