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.
- Making your shared dashboards in other apps very dynamic.
- Number of customization possibilities allowing us to provide best user experience.
- Option turning on Q and A.
- Real-time statistics for our customers.
- Easy integration allowing us quick deployment cycle.
- Mobile friendly reports, allowing customers to check stats right from their phone.
- Zoho Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports)
Microsoft Power BI Embedded is a lot more robust compared to Zoho Analytics. It offers more customization options in terms of color and fonts. You can use python in Power BI Embedded which is more commonly used language these days, which is still not possible with Zoho Analytics. The number of possible integrations with Power BI Embedded is more than Zoho Analytics.

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.
- Its user-friendly UI (toggling views between Report, Data, Model)
- Field categorization (e.g. if you want Microsoft Power BI to know that a column has country names, you can categorize that column as such which can help when you add map visualizations later on)
- Visualizations - Microsoft Power BI's interactive data visualizations do a great job in presenting and conveying data in a much better way than normal Excel charts and graphs
- Microsoft Power BI has had a positive impact on our business objectives by allowing everyone to better understand the data that is being presented. Some people can process numbers and charts easily, but interactive visualizations can aid visual learners and just makes the dashboard look a lot nicer with the ability to dive deeper into the numbers (through visualizations). Thus, engagement and understanding have improved.
- One negative impact is that there is a rather steep learning curve since Microsoft Power BI's language (DAX/M) can be quite different from traditional Excel. Because of that, either you need to hire people who are specialized in Microsoft Power BI, or you need to account for the fact that they will need to be trained (or take time to learn it). Thus, there can be direct costs from hiring new people, or indirect costs through training/employee taking time to learn the software.
- Another positive impact of Microsoft Power BI is that it got us thinking about how we can be better as an organization in terms of laying out our raw data, organizing data, conducting research into better metrics we can track and report on, etc. Because Microsoft Power BI made the presentation/visualization (+ regular updating/maintenance) part of our dashboard easier for us, we were able to start thinking about additional metrics and additional ways we can improve our reporting.
We have previously used various Microsoft products when creating graphs, dashboards, etc., and then presenting those materials. We found that apps like Powerpoint or Excel still did a decent job in presenting the data in the form of visuals, but Microsoft Power BI just did a much better job with its interactive visualizations. It just made the data easier to comprehend, and allowed us to easily find trends, while also giving us the ability to dig deeper into the data through visualization.
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
- Simple dashboard
- Security options
- Flexible configuration
- Dashboard for manufacturing kpi
- Real-time production variance analysis
- Capability to integrate multiple departments
Microsoft Power BI is simple and easy to configure than IBM Cogno. Cortana an added advantage
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
- Ease of use
- Speed of creating visualizations and making changes
- Ability to create interactive and engaging dashboards to be used by senior stakeholders
- Saved a significant amount of time for reporting current rollout status to project stakeholders
- Project stakeholders were able to view the live dashboards at any time so felt they had a better understanding of the rollout status
- Project stakeholders found it beneficial that they were able to set their own filters. For example, to view rollout status for their own departments.
I personally found Microsoft Power BI Embedded easier to use than Tableau. Compared to Microsoft Excel, I found it easier to create more complex reports and dashboards against larger datasets. We had a huge amount of data to display and Microsoft Power BI Embedded made this easy to show in an interactive dashboard that was embedded into an internal web application.
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.
