Overall Satisfaction with Power BI For Office 365
We are using Power BI to create better visual representations for both internal use as well as customer facing analysis. It's not adopted across the entire organization yet but we are in the process of doing so.
Pros
- Ease of data import
- Easy to learn the basic operation of the software
Cons
- Like many Microsoft products, you can get by with a small understanding of the product, but to truly realize the entire potential does take a while to learn.
- Hooking up SQL databases to the cloud version is a more complex than just querying right into the database from the desktop version.
- It's allowed us to better visualize large amounts of data.
- It's an easy way to tie into an existing SQL database for users that don't know SQL.
Much less expensive, particularly if your already an Office 365 customer.
