Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
We are a software development company with a Business Intelligence and Analytics arm. We work with our clients and try to solve their business problems. Sometimes this involves deploying Microsoft Power BI solutions.
- Quick turnaround to model the art of what's possible.
- Quickly connect to any data source and provide data modeling and transformations.
- Lots of the out-of-the-box visualizations do a good job of showing our clients their data in a different and useful way.
- Business-to-client offerings fall short. The pricing tier of exposing clients' information from a B2C standpoint scares some of our clients away. We end up proposing a competitor to Power BI as a solution when this arises.
- Lack of governance can lead to citizen "BI" developers creating data models that don't present accurate data.
- Pricing, as mentioned above. The PowerBI Pro, used for internal enterprise consumption, is priced well. However, if you want to deploy a solution from a B2C standpoint, PowerBI is not a good choice for smaller clients.
