The best aspect of Incorta is the ability to retain fidelity to raw data sources. Incorta does not require an ETL process or pre-aggregation to get results. Another great feature is the Business Schema. The ability to present data in localized business language is key to citizen development. The solution is a complete platform from ingestion to presentation. There is no need for additional products to provide high-performing dashboards. It is worth repeating that no ETL is required. If you need high-speed ingestion and presentation of millions of rows of data while retaining access to the raw data, Incorta is the right platform.

Has significantly improved collation of data and visualisation especially with business across Europe. Has given me the ability to see the Site availability at the click of a button to see which Site is in the "money" and seize opportunities based on Market data

  • Options for data source connections are immense. Not just which sources, but your options for *how* the data is brought in.
  • Constant updates (this is both good and bad at times).
  • User friendliness. I can get the data connections set up and draft some quick visuals, then release to the target audience and let them expand on it how they want to.

  • 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.

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.

There are improvements to the formula area that would make this rating go higher. Formatting is also in need of enhancement.

Automating reporting has reduced manual data processing by 50-70%, freeing up analysts for higher-value tasks. A finance team that previously spent 20+ hours per week on Excel-based reports now does it in minutes with Microsoft Power BI's automated Real-time dashboards have shortened decision cycles by 30-40%, enabling leadership to react quickly to sales trends, operational bottlenecks, and customer behavior.

I have interacted with support on many occasions. They are professional and knowledgeable and have solved every issue and asked every question or directed me to the appropriate resource who can.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Incorta
Each of the other solutions required an ETL to prepare data for ingestion and presentation. Our requirements were for no ELT. Attempting to use raw data sources with both of the other solutions did not provide the performance required (or in the case of Tableau, never finished.) Incorta provides the capability to utilize citizen developers. The other solutions required technical skills beyond the average citizen developer.

Microsoft Power BI is free. If I didn't want to create a custom platform (i.e. my organization insisted on an existing platform that I *had* to use), I'd use Microsoft Power BI. For any start-up or SMB, I'd just use Claude & Grok to build it quickly, also for free. Would not pay for Tableau or Sigma anymore. Not worth it at all.
