We are utilizing this product for the development of real-time updating data market and dashboards for the provisioning and monitoring of marketing analytics. Moreover, by the means of the Microsoft Power Bi tool we integrating dozens of data sources into single data market, which includes Oracle Database System, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MariaDB, data stream from RabbitMQ, and integration with ELK stack.
- Real-time dashboards representing data and marketing analytics
- Integration of several types of data sources such as Oracle SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and so on
- Unified data market composed of different dashboards from different data sources that are being updated automatically in the real-time manner
- Proper integration with ELK stack - we have encountered that there is no direct way of integration, therefore we have done it through a "bypass" way which is not convenient
- Very crowded user interface - the entry-level bar is high for average digital users. Also, it is blocking the view of the dashboards.

Great visualisation tool
We have different web applications which have their own product owners. Using Microsoft Power BI Embedded, they can easily create different types of reports, analyse customer behaviour and improve user journey. It's a great tool for less technical people to use and create data insights.
- Creating charts is as easy as drag and drop.
- Connect with multiple data sources.
- Great for data wrangling.
- Measures can't be used as slicers.
- Not as fast at large data calculation.
Microsoft Power BI Embedded is seen as a critical part of my departments data analysis and visualization infrastructure. We rely on this tool to embed important analytical reports , tiles and dashboards generated with Power BI , into our in-house web applications. Therefore , making it convenient for non- data engineering professionals in my organisation to be able to access customer or organisation facing analytics and insights in real-time without needing to be data analysts. The aforementioned has greatly helped sales ,marketing departmental and management level employees to measure important analytics around different aspects of my organisation in real time.
- Smooth integration with in-house web applications.
- Integration with multiple data sources
- Cross-modular dashboards.
- Steep learning curve. Of course, this is easily navigated with regular use.
- Inactive online user community . This impacts the ease of finding solutions to hurdles encountered when using Power BI embedded.
Our company uses the Microsoft Power BI in order to find relationships and visualizations of the relationship between productive variables that are difficult to correlate only by intuition. Is especially useful to produce an easy-to-understand visualization from the data we have into our ERP, which lets the management spend less time looking at unsorted numbers.
- Correlate variables
- Data visualization
- Ease of understanding of correlation between productive data
- Some of the connections could be more easy to configure
My organization is a focus in work on solutions for the customer using BI as a source, as consultants we work closely with the customer to understand the necessities and convert the raw data in dashboard easy to understand for the people involved in the departments of the organization. Normalizing and presenting the information in an easy way is the most important to keep the people engaged.
- Display the content created in the platform that all the members required.
- You can manage the experiences of the users.
- You can filter the data in a easy and efficient way.
- You need to have Azure to embed the information.
- Has some problems with forecasting budgets.
- Maintain a business model that doesn’t scale.

Best analytical tool to share your dashboards.
We use power BI in our organization for reporting and data transformation. It has a very intuitive interface. It has easy integration with the Microsoft ecosystem. You can easily embed your Power BI reports and charts into any web-based app easily. You can also embed these reports and visuals into your email newsletters.
- It is very easy to connect multiple data sources for a single report. You can use CSV, Excel, database integration, etc.
- Power Bi supports Python as well, which makes it a lot easier for us as it is known by most of our team.
- Power BI takes a lot of time to import .xlb files compared to CSV files. CSV files usually are large in size compared to .xlb.
- DAX programming (power bi programming language) requires some learning curve.

Review of Microsoft Power BI from an Analyst
I use Microsoft Power BI Embedded to import my raw Excel data, and turn it into visually appealing, interactive graphs that can help paint a clearer picture of our firm's position. It is used to create dashboards for quarterly reviews, as well as to show monthly performance. It is fairly dynamic and can be easy to use at times.
- It does a good job "acting" like Excel in the sense that once the data is imported, you can still go ahead and add/remove columns, filter rows, change data types, create calculated columns, conditional columns, etc. This makes it easier to learn.
- It does a good job of offering a clean and organized layout. For example, it is easy to switch between views and understand what each view is meant for.
- It is good with its data import functionality. You can import data from multiple sources (e.g. Excel, SQL servers, etc.). From there, you can use Navigator to choose/pick the data you want to import, as well as see a preview.
- Similar to how Excel has VBA, Microsoft Power BI uses PowerQuery (M/DAX). Though DAX is similar to Excel in terms of how it is written, I just think it's something that would be difficult for new users to figure out.
- Something I would like to see done differently in Microsoft Power BI is the ability to have presets for sorting/arranging of visualizations. Though it is nice to arrange the dashboard freely, it would also be nice to have preset arrangements based on visualizations (for those of us bad at making dashboards look appealing).
- With Microsoft Power BI, it is hard to show others your dashboard using the free platform (unless you show them from your computer/account). This can cause issues if your firm is trialing Microsoft Power BI before purchase.

Microsoft BI review
We use this outward for everything and anything from planning meetings to submitting work. It is a very easy-to-use software that anyone can use. Our supervisors give us work through this software which is again easy to see and use. I would recommend this software to anyone working in school or outside.
- Easy to use.
- Very helpful data.
- Data is well laid out.
- The amount of time it takes to collect all the data.
- Signing in takes longer than expected.
- Cost is a bit high.
We utilize Microsoft Power BI Embedded for cross modular analytics such as manufacturing and procurement, supply chain kpi integration with finance kpi, managerial reports showcasing profitability kpi with business turnover in format of supply chain coordinate such as profitability per manufacturing line etc.
- Cross modular dashboards
- Pivot table capability through horizontal and vertical flexibility
- Integration of separate databases for creation reports
- Cloud compatibility
- Cresting readily available platform for configuration
- Integration with machine learning
We needed a tool to track the rollout of the O365 mobile apps to the several thousand corporate mobile users within the company, in a way that was visual and engaging. We built an interactive Power BI dashboard which was embedded into an existing web application used by the core project team and project stakeholders. The dashboard showed the number of users who had followed the installation process, and could be filtered by region, country, company code, job role, division etc.
- Easily embedded into existing web application
- Allowed us to easily create engaging interactive dashboards
- Displayed rollout data in a meaningful way and made it easy to report to the project sponsor and senior management
- It was a little difficult to work out how to create certain visualisations, but there is extensive online help material to support with this.
- Had some issues with assigning pro licences but these were quickly resolved
- Small learning curve but no more so than similar applications
Some of the business problems Microsoft Power BI Embedded was the ability to integrate with Salesforce to pull in report data for presenting KPI's on our TV Dashboards. This allowed our agents to view real time stats as well as averages too. Being able to have a visual data representation is also powerful as we can then focus in on issues that require to be addressed. Sharing reports and dashboards is also very helpful across cross functional teams. Linking these to other integrations is also helpful too.
- Creating data visualization
- Ease of leveraging dashboards
- Report filtering logic to slice and dice data
- Learning curve for someone new to BI
- Cost
- Large data sets are a challenge

Effective tool for data visualisations
There are two main ways in which we use Microsoft Power BI Embedded in The University of Sydney (in the context of academic / teaching staff in the School of Architecture, Design, and Planning). Firstly, Power BI is used to provide information about the students that are enrolled in different study units. This includes such information as country of origin, age, chosen degree, first language, grades, etc. This information is visualised as bar, radial, or line charts, which are very intuitive to use and understand. It is also easy to sort and search for required information. This is really helpful for me as a course coordinator because it allows me to know my students better and adjust my courses delivery accordingly. Secondly, Power BI is used to communicate information about our teaching loads. Again it is a pretty intuitive tool with an easy-to-use interface, which is able to communicate complex data in a very engaging way.
- visualizes complex data (from excel tables)
- engaging look
- easy embedding to web
- it mostly only allows one way interactions
- user interface can be improved
- limits on including data
