Overall Satisfaction with Azure Analysis Services

Azure Analysis Services support various data sources like Azure SQL server, On-prem SQL, Oracle, etc. We can run models and various analytics services. The burden of maintaining servers and storage is not there as it is supported by Azure and is offered as a Platform as a service.
  • Use advanced mashup and modeling features to combine data from multiple data sources, define metrics, and secure your data in a single, trusted tabular semantic data model.
  • I have used AAS in establishing the Tabular Semantic model for one of my client's assignments.
  • There is very least content available on Microsoft docs and the Internet to get through with AAS.
  • i faced lots of connection issues while implementation.
  • The need for serious platform experience or expertise.
  • Website analytics; We have realized so many benefits like traffic analysis, CRM, click-through funnels, and many more.
  • Aas allows us to do complex calculations and aggregations at slight efforts. It accommodates DAX expression, which in return is simple to apply.
The best thing about it is the ability to create a query and drill down the data to a more granular level when needed. The best thing about Azure Analysis Services is. It provides secured access anytime from anywhere, it also provides REST API for this, which is very easy to use, and it provides video tutorials for beginners means you get the whole package of learning and implementation!!
