Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

Power BI is used across the whole organization. Although our company uses many BI tools, there is currently a project to consolidate tools and make Power BI our official BI tool. It's used across each department to provide analytics and insight into each department's OKRs. Our IT team has a specific division that is the main driver behind adoption and consulting on dashboarding for each department.

Pros

  • Ability to build visuals with drag-and-drop makes creating dashboards easy for beginners
  • Great training materials and videos online for self-training
  • Ability to work across Microsoft's other platforms
  • Easy sharing of dashboards and built in "usage metrics"

Cons

  • Moving reports between the desktop version and Power BI can be cumbersome and lead to multiple versions
Our team selected Power BI because its features rival that of Tableau's, we are a Microsoft O365 company and the price is much more competitive.
Power BI is a really good value for your money and I think it is well suited to all scenarios. In the age of data, we can glean metrics from ANYTHING and having PowerBi allows a quick return on your investment. You can very quickly create valuable visuals and dashboards. I went from never having used the software to a power user very quickly, just by viewing the robust training videos and instructions provided by Microsoft.
