Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
In my current marketing firm, we have clients from all across the globe that we service. We felt the need for providing better analytics for our marketing and sales representatives. We wanted to incorporate a business intelligence tool into our enterprise to get a full 360 view of our mission critical data. Microsoft BI helped fill that role.
- Microsoft BI integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft Office suite.
- By using the Power Pivot and Power View it has enabled us to access and mash up data from a variety of sources. Plus it can easily be shared with other users through simple Office applications.
- The implementation time for Microsoft BI can be fairly lengthy. Its definitely longer than some of the other products we evaluated.
- The upfront investment in terms of capital and time is fairly large with this tool. It requires a compliant Microsoft SQL server in the back-end to leverage most of its functionality.
