Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

Power BI is used across departments. The IT department checks all the helpdesk incoming calls/emails.The web analytics have dashboards for customer searches and location. The sales department reports on profit and forecasting.

Pros

  • Easy to use
  • Good presentation possibilities
  • Easy to connect to different sources

Cons

  • A better way to set up relationships between tables, such as allowing secondary relationships to be active
Power BI is easier to use than other BI tools. It can be connected to several sources and it can import your own local sources. The data manipulation is very simple and to build a dashboard is even easier. The language used is DAX, but you can import file from R or Python.
Power BI is suited for almost every situation - from web analysis to booking/revenue review. Power BI has been used in every department. It is easy to set up connections to different sources and build dashboards with different data views.
