I was able to find anything needed very quickly and easily due to large community, Also, Microsoft Power BI's Support Team was very helpful when needed and I was able to reach them easily.
Microsoft Power BI is well suited for creating intuitive Dashboard Reports with different insightful Charts. I think this is one of the best tools in Data Visualization. Unfortunately, you will need to get away from Reports that need complex computations as it might slow the reports.
