Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft BI
We are using Microsoft Power BI throughout or entire organization. Our finance department was the first group to start using Power BI. The ability to display the data easily and with ease of understanding is the key to Power BI. Users can quickly take data from a variety of data sources and display in an easy to read user friendly format. Power BI allows our users to see important data timely without scrolling through a bunch of Excel files.
- Ability to connect to many different data sources and provide a easy to read graphical output.
- There is a free version that comes with our O365 subscription that suits most cases and a paid version for the power users.
- Many different chart types to choose from and active selection criteria makes the charts user interactive
- Power BI lacks in its ability to integrate directly into AAD to allow you to customize reports based on logged in user.
- Power BI has issues when trying to access multiple data sets for a report. The data needs to be manipulated outside for Power BI before being used in Power BI.
