Power BI offers excellent value and feature sets, with rapid implementation.

Overall, I have been very impressed with the Power BI offering, in particular the focus on integration with the overall Microsoft stack and rapidity of execution. We use the platform across multiple business groups to solve many different challenges, and have often expanded the use case dramatically to ensure full utilization of tour investment. The fact that Power BI Pro is included in the standard E5 license offering is another significant cost saving measure relative to other platforms.

Support has been excellent. I can't say enough about the training that's available from Microsoft directly, and online. It's truly a Power to the People type of platform. Direct tickets to Microsoft can be a bit challenging at times, although this is not a product of the product so to speak, more the nature of working with a large organization.

Power BI is particularly well suited for environments with disparate data sources that need to be presented logically and thoughtfully across systems and analytical engines.

Power BI is less appropriate when a platform (ERP for example) may have native, out of the box, robust reporting, that is directly tied to the data models in the application.
