Overall, it's fairly accurate but it does need to understand the context of the data so you need to spend time setting up the data model correctly.
Great performance, especially, with being able to use live connections. Natural language is good. It has its strengths but there are areas to improve such as more control/customization, easier setup for data connections, and building a stronger community that you can get help/ask questions and get better faster.
Utilize the strengths of cloud, more compute, faster insights, quicker decision making, better performance
It stacks up well against these modern BI tools. These are the most popular tools and its ability to perform well with live connections gives it an advantage. However, having more control over formatting/customization would allow it to go further. Plus, developing a stronger community would make it more fun to use too.
