We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Helped identify bad data, enabling the corrections needed to the data for management.""Power BI stands out because it provides considerable flexibility in creating reports, dashboards, and various types of analytics to meet those dynamic requirements. It is lightweight and easy to use with good support.""It has greatly improved our reporting capabilities.""The reports are easy to create.""The solution is very intuitive, you do not need to have too much programming knowledge to use it. Advanced Excel users can use it very easily.""The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use.""Reporting is the best thing about Power BI. And it could help improve decision-making in many ways. Power BI is flexible and easier to use compared to tools.""The initial setup is easy."

Cons
"The mobile app is very poor.""Power BI could have better metadata management. It's easy to use for a single person. However, it lacks an enterprise-grade metadata management system, which can be a problem if you're doing an enterprise deployment with multiple users.""One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel.""In Microsoft Excel, you are able to have tabs. However, in Microsoft BI you do not have this flexibility.""I think that the product would benefit by increasing the range of visuals and graphics readily available, as opposed to using a third party included as part of the product.""It's not really complicated, but I didn't find the things I was looking for. The ones I used to work with within Dash are more open, and there are more choices. But with Power BI, there are only limited types of plots that I can use. For example, when I wanted to put the plots in Power BI, there was no extendable space. You have a limited page where you can place a maximum of three plots in that, and you can't do more than that on a single page. You have to create a new page, a different page for that. That made it a bit annoying, and the filtering part is limited, with basic functions. If you want to make custom filtering or custom functions, you can't do that.""If you look at the new tool, even though they promised that you could do data modeling, that you could do everything from the Power BI side, if your data is really large in volume, sometimes it doesn't work on the Power BI. More feature testing from their side would certainly help users.""It is definitely a wonderful analytics tool. However, database ETL, data integration functionality would be absolutely perfect in many cases. Currently, it doesn't get the job done and we need to extract, transform, and load the data from faulty data sets into something more suitable for the deployment of the analytics tool."
