Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
It is used in support of BI/Reporting/Analytics needs in some of the retail consumer and wealth management areas of the company, where Microsoft's private/public stack is used inclusive of SQL Server and no-SQL databases on the back-end, along with data integration and ETL, big data, master and reference data management, data virtualization, and data preparation solutions.
- Integrates well with the rest of the Microsoft stack - performs well as part of it
- Has very robust reporting and analytics capabilities
- Works well with data virtualization/federation and big data
- Integration with the non-MS stack
- Containers support
- Metadata layer
Microsoft Power BI is a well rounded, end to end solution, having a breadth of capabilities, working particularly well with the Microsoft stack components. It is among the best when considering public and private cloud-based deployments. Other BI tools used/evaluated in our organization - such as Tableau, is easier to use, and it has superior data visualization capabilities. All other BI products are comparable with Power BI features-wise.
