Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft BI
We use Microsoft Power BI for one of our client's project data management. He has a database of mobile app users who sign up for the premium account and Power BI is used to analyze the data and build a graphical representation of the given data, which is very convenient when you need to create a presentation or something (or simply want to see your data presented visually.)
- Data analytics features - you can filter the data according to a billion (it feels like) ways and make sure your data is just what you need.
- Graphs, charts, and everything else visual - not only you can analyze your data according to filters and everything, you can also make it look good and understandable without having to look through a ton of numbers.
- It can handle quite large amounts of data input, so this makes it a good addition for the projects that require big data.
- Works well with other Microsoft products (including .NET projects).
- It's not very user-friendly (at least, not if you use it every single day and can tell where a feature is located when you wake up in the middle of the night). It takes some time to get the hang of it.
- Sometimes it feels like there is just a bit TOO MANY features. I mean, they are all awesome, but it's easy to get lost.
