Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

We use Microsoft Power BI to visualize our GCP tabular data into actionable insights. It would be very helpful for Non-tech users to understand the data in graphs & pie-charts instead of tables. And Microsoft Power BI is very helpful for that. We can connect Microsoft Power BI to various sources such as SAP, TEG, TEXT, CSV files also we can upload. Also we can connect it with live data as well or we can import also our data to Microsoft Power BI.

Pros

  • Data Transformation
  • Data Cleaning
  • Interactive Visuals

Cons

  • Can improve UI
  • Data loading takes too much time
  • Can improve talk to data feature where we can directly ask questions to Microsoft Power BI about our data
  • Cost Saving (Pay as you Go Model)
  • Better Interactive Visuals than Qliksense so people in organization adopt it easily
  • Takes more time for loading so need high internet speed
It is Easy to use, cost saving and easily adoptable by peoples. UI can be improvised. Loading time of visuals can be improvised. More than 20-25 visuals available.
Microsoft Power BI is more easy to use, easily understandable, it's User Interface is good. We can connect to More number of data sources. where as in Qlik Sense it is not providing Row level security like Microsoft Power BI and it is bit costly than Microsoft Power BI. Tableau has little less functionality than Microsoft Power BI.
