Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
It is used as an official data visualization solution and all departments have the ability to implement it. It is an important piece of our digital and analytics journey and Power BI is supporting this journey enabling better user experience and powerful dashboards with charts and KPIs. We are improving our operational efficiency and decision-making process.
- Easy-to-use and straight forward design - decreasing onboarding and training efforts.
- Powerful features - you can either work on standard reports or advanced analytics capabilities. Power Pivot enables quick merge of data from various sources.
- Integration with Microsoft stack and suite - great upside as most of the things currently are based on Microsoft (Office 365, Azure cloud and others).
- Some type of data entry, like forms, could be improved. They are not easy to use and flexible.
- Overall cost is higher than other suites and products regarding data visualization.
We selected Microsoft Power BI because it has the best GUI and easy-to-use interface. As part of Microsoft suite, it has the same structure as Office 365 solutions, therefore making it easier to get onboard. At the same time, having backend solutions from Microsoft such as Office 365 and Azure Cloud drives us to select a top layer solution from the Microsoft suite as well which enables seamless integration.
