Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
1. It is used for Executive reviews for visualization and dashboards to provide insight in the business operations, marketing, finance. My organisation is using this because it comes free with Microsoft Office license. It provides similar services as other tools in the same field.
2. It is being used in my departmen,t but other functions are starting to explore this BI tool.
3. Visualization, dashboards, scorecards, easy to understand huge datasets through graphs and charts, flexible for users to connect withEexcel

- Free license and tool is available in Microsoft office as an alternative to expensive tools in the same field
- Flexible to connect with multiple data sources and ERP systems
- Training modules are available for users with good detailed explanation
- Can publish review online for yourself and team-members and executives
- Multiple layout for visualization
- Editing data is bit difficult -- it requires dataset to be formatted in a particular manner, otherwise it will give errors and the user will end up most of the time in fixing the issue himself.
- Everytime data is required to be refreshed, which leads to the issue of regenerating the visualization
