Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI
Power BI is an easy to use analytical tool. We are using this tool in the department of computer science and engineering for analytic purposes in research. When you have a large data set and you want to derive some meaningful results from it this tool will help you to convert your numbers into interactive charts from which you can derive the insights of data. I am working in the field of data analytics and everyone who is in the same field will love this tool.
- Convert your numbers into presentable charts.
- Low cost in comparison to other tools in the market.
- In dataset you can use JSON, XML, SQL and Excel files as a data source all on a single platform.
- Wide range of custom visualization available such as graph, map, charts, etc.
- GUI is definitely one of the areas they need to improve, lots of options on the desktop make it confusing.
- Free version can handle only 2GB data. If you want to upload more data you need to purchase the license which costs you $9.99.
- Complex relationship between the table is the problem to handle with Power BI.
- High ROI. For single user license you have to pay only $9.99 per month.
Though we are using both in our department, Power BI is less expensive in comparison to Tableau.
