Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

We use Microsoft Power BI to gather data and present it from our project management software Procore. It is used by two people in our organization to present data to our upper management. It helps to let our leadership have a real up to date high level overview of where each of our projects stand in terms of budget, schedule and many other metrics.
  • Data retrieval/mining
  • Data presentation/visuals
  • customization
  • Ease of use - this tool could be much more intuitive in its design
This is the first product of its kind that I have used and I am particularly impressed and happy that we have such a tool available now. It is relatively easy to use, and presents information to our leadership team that they would not otherwise "go and get" and it helps them to make evaluations of projects, their teams, and decisions for the future.
We love the Power BI integration, so we have seen it built out for specific integrations with specific other software, like Procore, successfully, with little to no effort required by the end user. We feel that if you have data that you would like to dig through and present to a large group in a meaningful way, Power BI is for you.
