Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

We use Microsoft Power BI to bring data together in one place and allow staff to self serve with data meaning they can answer their own questions instead of contacting the data and analytics team.
We have dashboards for each product showing metrics like revenue, sales, buyer demographics, sell through rate, and more.
Microsoft Power BI is a powerful tool that our business would struggle to live without.
