Enables customers to build their own reports, but performance could be better
The most important criterion when selecting a vendor is reliability. I would give this solution a seven out of 10. It does some good stuff, but there needs to be more performance. Make sure that you have really good people working on the server administration, to make sure you're doing it right, the setup is right.

Microsoft Power BI has many features and there is not a lot to improve. However, the licensing can be confusing. When deciding between Pro and Premium, I find it difficult to distinguish what features are offered by Pro and what features are offered by Premium, including the particular differences to choose between both licensing models. Additionally, some features such as DAX, which I mentioned previously, involve DAX calculations and complex data modeling, which are somewhat advanced and not easily understandable. Prior knowledge is required or you need to go through the documentation. If the documentation is made comprehensive so that anyone with no knowledge on DAX can easily use it by going through the documentation, it would be really helpful. Additionally, if the integration with non-Microsoft tools is improved and performance is optimized, then Microsoft Power BI can become a top-ranked visualization tool. The user experience with Microsoft Power BI is quite good. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to create reports. However, only the advanced features are somewhat complex, and if the documentation is improved, it can be easily accessible.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Rapid development and deployment of solutions with low-cost server-based licensing is attractive in high user count environments."
"A must have for the business looking to understand their processes in an easy to consume way"
"People really like the way the reports look, there are lots of fancy bells and whistles on the report designer."
"Self-service reporting modules allow customers to build their own reports."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations."
"Before Microsoft Power BI, we used Qlik and Cognos. When comparing these solutions, Microsoft Power BI is significantly better."
"We were able to reduce costs by consolidating the 3 Crystal Report Servers down to just one server running SSRS (with one backup just in case)."
"Microsoft BI is easy to use and to design. I found Microsoft BI a lot easier than Tableau."
"Microsoft offers us a full platform, which we use to develop and deploy our BI solution quickly and easily."
"I like that implementation is very quick and that the solution is very user-friendly and easy to work with."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
 

Cons

"The only feature I would like to see at this point is a normalized curve for Histograms"
"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"Performance dependant on back-end much more than some other toolsets."
"They can improve the user interface a little bit to make it more user-friendly. When creating a dashboard, it is not very user-friendly. You have to click on a certain style and use your keyboard keys to move it. You cannot drag and drop it."
"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."
"Visualization systems are still relatively young."
"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."
"The Power Query feature needs to be improved to handle large amounts of data. This feature is also slow for large data transfers making it better to use some kind of script."
"I would suggest improvements in visualization standards, particularly in customization and appearance."
"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."
"I would like them to provide a license that just allows us to see dashboards. What I don't like about this solution is that in order to just watch a dashboard, you need a license. Currently, you need to purchase a full license of Power BI Pro just to see something, which is not attractive. If you have a license, you can see a shared dashboard, but you can also build a dashboard or you can collaborate with other people. However, if you only want to see a dashboard, there is no license for that. I only want to see the dashboard, and I don't want to do anything more than watching the information on the dashboard. There is no license that allows you to see a shared dashboard. This is one of the areas of opportunity because I would like a lot of people to be able to see a shared dashboard, not to interact with it or to collaborate online with it. I would like to see more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources. Given the fact that everything is related to Microsoft Azure and all services available on Microsoft Azure, I see that they're building more connections to Microsoft Azure services instead of other non-Microsoft services. I understand the strategy, but it would be good to have more compatibility with non-Microsoft data sources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"The cost of this product is very low, at approximately $8 or $9 per month for a developer."
"I'm unsure about the exact cost, but the Pro license comes out to around $10 per user. There are also additional costs for custom visuals that you can pay for."
"Both cost-wise and implementation-wise, this product is a good choice."
"No comment."
"I would rate them 4 out of 5 for their current pricing. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"Power BI's price is reasonable, especially if you can put it in some bigger package and use it with other products. The value of a solution doesn't just come from its features as a standalone product. The price should also reflect how easy it's to set up, clean data, and integrate with other solutions."
"Microsoft BI requires licenses."
"The pricing is good. It's pretty competitive because I have worked on a few other tools as well, and Power BI is on the cheaper side."
