Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

We use Microsoft Power BI to display customer and prospect data in a meaningful way to our sales and client success teams. Additionally, we use BI in our Sales Management and Sales Ops teams to help us determine trends in our current customer base as well as prospect base.
  • Want cool graphs for your next board deck? Great interactive graphs and charts!!
  • Detailed reports with easy to use filters help you quickly find segmented info
  • Easy drill down into deeper data. We use it to see trends by rep or customer type.
  • The app is great but you can only use a few reports otherwise it is hard to read
  • It would be great to layer reports or graphs to provide more information in one graph
  • It would be good to be able to lock reports so others don’t change them “by accident”.
Great for deep rich, data pools that have constant change. Microsoft Power BI handles live data exceptionally well. BI is not a substitute for Excel, it is a platform to make data more meaningful.
