Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Power BI

I'm a healthcare data analyst for the southwest Missouri regional hospitals and clinics. We have several compliance and patient care KPIs that we need to track daily. I build Power BI reports for various healthcare service lines based on long and short term analytics goals. I connect our Power BI reports to a range of data sources, be it, Sharepoint, Oracle, or Cloud based sources. This offers a wide scope to our analytics playbook as patient care excellence requires many pathways.

Pros

  • Connects to a large variety of data sources
  • Has plenty of visual options and tools for complex reports
  • Allows for very specific and detailed customizations.
  • Has a robust and key AI assistant in Copilot

Cons

  • Changes too often, the feature options and look are updated monthly
  • Requires education, not a good right of the box tool for general use
  • If there are failures or steps missed it is difficult at times to troubleshoot
  • Great for futurecasting!
  • We can easily track healthcare trends across locations
The options and customization are game changers. And the inclusion of AI has sent this product into another level!
We were able to bundle Power BI with other Microsoft products we rely on heavily. This and the customization options were the main sellers for us.
