Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

Well, I have been using Power BI from last three years in different sectors like Education and IT. Right now, I am using Power BI to show the student and faculty data for the purpose of getting a good grade for accreditation in NAAAC So, I'm using it to find out the anomalies in the data like finding out the number of faculty joined and left in last five years and what we can do about it by giving suggestion to HR.

Pros

  • Report View is easily understood as everything in on the one page.
  • Power BI has a Desktop version which makes it more helpful when one has poor internet connectivity.
  • Data modelling can be easily done by just dragging and dropping.

Cons

  • Real-time reports can be made smoother as it is not right now.
  • Power BI Mobile is not as intuitive as it should be which requires some improvement.
  • Power BI becomes slower when working with large data sets even with good system specifications.
  • It has been useful to show the weak spots by graphical representation and make it better.
  • Multiple people can collaborate with tool.
  • It has eliminated the need for a PPT presentation and shortened the meeting minutes.
Because I love working with Power BI and this is the first BI tool I learned among others. I find Power BI very useful, intuitive and user friendly which is not the case with other BI tools. Power BI has the best data modelling and it can be integrated with so many other tools like XERO, Microsoft dynamics, RACS etc.
I selected Power BI because it is the best in all because of its ecosystem and its ability to connect with multiple data source like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft SQL Server, web, analysis services etc. Moreover, its available on both Cloud and Desktop with some pro and cons OfCourse not all the features are available on both, but its benefits outweigh any kind of Challange.

I mostly use it with my day-to-day reporting which is great it has user friendly interface and work very well. Also, when I am not available, I have taught my director to how to work with it so, he is able to pull reports and make changes, I'm mentioning this why because Power BI is easy understood by non-technical person which is why it is well suited.
