    The overall experience is very positive. The ability to connect with various data sources, both on premises & on cloud, enhances the versatility of data analysis. The platform's user friendly interface make to ease to access.

    Positive

    I like a lot of of things about Microsoft Power BI, As i am using it since almost 2 years it has been a great tool for sales analytics which helps me keeps track of the organization's progress. Apart from this in aspect of Data visualization it provides a wide range of interactive & customizable charts, graphs & dashboards.

    Negative

    I haven't faced any major issue yet, apart from the minor one's which includes misalignment in report generation while preparing some extracting a report for LMS but later it also get solved. One more thing i'd like to mention in the cons column is that for a large organization like us its completely affordable but if we discuss about the smaller one's it may not be that much budget friendly.

    There are some features missing from this software, but they usually only exist in really expensive software.

    Microsoft Power BI on the rise for its ability to analyze and share data to the web

    Date: Mar 25 2021
    Summary

    It is a formidable option due to its vast elements of data collection, analysis and exposure shared on the web for easy access. It simplifies that time-consuming data preparation that takes a long time to develop and thus exploit such information to the fullest. However, clients must be very attentive to the reliability of the results.

    Positive

    This program is an analytical tool that evaluates your entire customer, commercial, and financial database and simplifies it into clear and complete metrics and statistics that will be available on any device so that you can access this information when needed.

    Negative

    The program is limited to having a single deployment of devices with Windows operating system and mobile systems with native Android, otherwise it is not available. Similarly, although it evaluates your entire database, sometimes the results are not 100% correct because it does not have a predictive analysis.

    Company knowledge about its activities

    Date: Dec 07 2020
    Summary

    I'm trying to imagine company efficiency metrics for a company with large quantities of products. In fact, I recognized that effective information analysis and also systemic accessibility to visualization allow the company to align the motivations for volunteers in choosing our services.

    Positive

    I like the pre-installed design templates and also the wide variety of adapters that I can use to connect information. Not only does it allow me to do complex information services on aggregated information, but it also allows me to get a quick overview of all the relevant signals at once.

    Negative

    There is a certain amount of technological knowledge needed when it comes to making use of information adapters. Something as basic as attaching an add-on to the control panel is as complex as plugging it into a Google Sheets file, releasing it as an xlsx, and then incorporating it into your PowerBI information design. Some facets of the information link are not really easy to use and also tend to get damaged when the column names in the resource are transformed.

    A great analytical and advanced break-up

    Date: Dec 02 2020
    Summary

    Microsoft Power BI is a fantastic device for analyzing information. To provide us with all information, our decision-making process is based on the information we collect from our consumers. A large part of Microsoft Power BI allows our personal members to perform sophisticated analyzes that appear to be working very well.

    Positive

    The most powerful feature of Microsoft Power BI is, without a doubt, is its look. Good-looking graphics, as well as viewing generally positive information, are extremely vital and are the best device for this Power BI for me and my company as well. The logs are really good, in addition to being interactive, because it is incredibly easy to explore your favorite information filters to reveal specific facets of the information.

    Negative

    Integrated with SharePoint, Power BI uses DAX-like systems. This is creating some kind of obstacle for untrained personnel, which requires a little more than the Power BI system can predetermine. These disadvantages, however, I cannot believe in any other aspect that I don't particularly like in relation to Power BI.
