Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
Microsoft PowerBI is used by the organization to reflect the performance of sales and individual accounts. The Sales team has been using PowerBI to contact customers and reflect on their performance. It is being used to solve the problem of having near real time performance. The tool is also used to drill down on more detailed information and serves as a proxy CRM tool to retrieve additional account information (contact info).
- Microsoft Power BI has beautiful visuals that are made in-house and externally. It really helps you develop a story.
- Microsoft Power BI also has an easy to setup database model reader and can really help you at ease with development of buttons/controls for the end user.
- The web portal works well and users have easy access to their sales data.
- Using the PRO version, the data reader feeding raw data can be very slow and clunky at times.
- Even with a node subscription, paying a lot of money, performance for loading and refreshing content on a Power BI dashboard can be very slow.
- Power BI is a visual tool but does not have CPM functionality to add data and other parts into the data model. This is a huge portion that is lacking.
Power BI stacks up robustly on a visuals standpoint. It has great slicer tools and visuals that are stunning. Content is fresh, easy to transmit and the design of a new dashboard is easy. Power BI is useful in identifying outliers in your data (even data integrity issues). Great tool for visuals. What BI does lack is the CPM functionality to add and save data and/or entries. This can be a detractor for areas such as finance.
