Team Lead at a government with 11-50 employees
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.

Interactive dashboards have transformed restaurant data into faster daily business decisions
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

"A must have for the business looking to understand their processes in an easy to consume way"
"Self-service reporting modules allow customers to build their own reports."
"People really like the way the reports look, there are lots of fancy bells and whistles on the report designer."
"Rapid development and deployment of solutions with low-cost server-based licensing is attractive in high user count environments."
"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."
"Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use."
"The customization and management are very easy, and we have found that the reporting and publishing are great."
"We find the solution offers good stability."
"The use of graphics to show and view the data indicators is the most valuable feature. It is also very stable."
"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."
"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
 

Cons

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"The only feature I would like to see at this point is a normalized curve for Histograms"
"Performance dependant on back-end much more than some other toolsets."
"From an improvement perspective, I think if the Power BI developers of that platform would really focus on being more detailed and specific on the error messages, it would help a lot of developers troubleshoot and maintain the report ECT or the dashboard ECT."
"I face performance issues with Microsoft Power BI, which are unsolvable. There is a lack of features between the on-premises and cloud version, which poses a challenge for me."
"Although there are many visualizations, most of them are paid separately because they have been developed by private developers. The visualizations that come off the shelf are quite few."
"Microsoft Power BI was born native on the cloud, however, it's quite difficult when it has to connect to on-premise data sources."
"I would like to see integration with Excel."
"The real-time data refresh capabilities is one of the things I had issues with"
"In Microsoft Excel, you are able to have tabs. However, in Microsoft BI you do not have this flexibility."
"The solution's documentation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"I rate the product price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."
"The pricing is very reasonable compared to any other tool."
"From a cost point of view, it's competitive in the enterprise space, although it's not as competitive when you add up all of the additional costs. Things like integrations cost extra and it's probably where Microsoft makes more of the money."
"If you purchase a license for a server, for users, or the professional version, you might not have to. The free version I think it can satisfy many customers' needs."
"You don't need a license for development, but if you want to publish to external users, you need a license. The licensing is very costly, but I think that since the advantages and benefits of Power BI are so high, people are willing to pay. I can't blame them."
"Compared to what's available on the market, I think we pay a fair price."
"It depends upon the tier of your Office 365 subscription. On E5, which is a Microsoft Azure subscription, you get it for free. If you are on a lower tier, you can subscribe for $10 a month per user, which is really cheap."
