Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
Power BI is being used by HR and IT departments. We use it typically to run weekly and monthly reports and for data analytics. It is hugely helpful in saving time as we can build in formats within the tool and schedule the metrics to run weekly/monthly. Weekly/ monthly data cuts are not required.
- Saves time as regular reports do not need to be created every time.
- The tool has several grafts and charts that can be created by the click of a button.
- It is easy to analyze data by dwelling deeper in each data set.
- Can be interfaced with several systems.
- The system is useful in data analytics but there is a learning curve.
- It is difficult to understand the linking of datasets while organizing data in the beginning.
- You need to work with an IT person to interface Power BI with existing systems.
- While the tool runs the required metrics, it does not tell a story to connect all the metrics. Human intervention is required in this phase.
We have an existing HRIS system. It does help in data analytics but it is difficult to configure charts and metrics to run on a regular or weekly basis. Like excel, Power BI has customizable data labels. The metrics can also be created within a template like a power point presentation.
