Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
We are using the reporting features in Power BI, to track Account Receivable and Managed Service Profitability.
We currently use it to import templates of Excel files, and visual the data with its graphs. We also pull multiple data points from other applications we use to track VDI and other latency issues. We also have used it to show our managed service customers a custom dashboard they can dig into to see what we services we are performing in their environment.

- The data input from multiple sources, such as excel, Salesforce, odbc connection. It handles data connections and data imports very well.
- The ability to take static data and query it to make it dynamic is vital to the data scientist, this is something Power BI does very well.
- Th e
- The learning curve isn't huge, I was able to get some basic graphs up and running, and learn as I went.
- Power Bi currently doesn't let you add your own connection packs, like we would like one for connectwise, but that is handled by the microsoft team.
- Power Bi currently does not support Mac client and I have a hard time using it in my virtual machine.
- The Power BI documentation and sample reports are not available for download and it is hard to recreate what they have done.
I have not used any Alternative products. A couple of the people that I work with have, but I have not.
