Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
This is one of the products assessed in our needs to present financial reporting in a visualized way, and to enable self-service reporting for executives.
- Top reason to use Power BI is its capability for "natural language query", where users simply type in words of a query to search real-time for financial data in either number format or in charts.
- The second great feature is its monthly updates of 10+ new features, vs quarterly or semi-annual updates with a couple of features by other vendors.
- The third great feature is its efforts to build in customized formulas (or DAX) for rookies.
- Online sharing is a bit difficult for the freemium user who does not sign up for Azure paid accounts.
- Monthly updated software installation voids prior month's installation - with the shortcut button pinned to the taskbar no longer working.
Much better than Adaptive Discovery, which takes months if not quarters to improve/upgrade. The latter is improving itself though.
