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

"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."
"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."
"The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."
"ou can pull reports, visualize them in real-time, and connect them to a variety of other data sources."
"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."
"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."
"Alternatively, if you just want to use what is available to you, and with a little bit of UX/UI knowledge and creativity, you can build really cool stuff with it."
"It's a pretty scalable product."
"I would definitely recommend Power BI from a visualization perspective."
"Microsoft Power BI is a powerful tool with many capabilities, but my favorite feature is its data modeling, which links tables together and allows teams to gain insights for KPIs by modeling data differently to meet various requirements."
 

Cons

"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."
"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"Integration with products that are not Microsoft could be more improved."
"BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage and always having to go back to the data warehouse."
"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."
"There are some disadvantages, some weaknesses of Microsoft Power BI that we have addressed to the Microsoft team."
"We would like it if they added more Python libraries in the Power BI service. For Power BI service right now, you can use Python, but it is limited to a few libraries or a few packages from Python."
"The one thing that I noticed specifically was the graphical features, and some of the analytical features. They were stronger on the Tableau side."
"We don't have much to complain about except that they can always add many more features as they go."
"The initial setup is pretty complex. It's not straightforward or simple."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"The licensing can be complicated."
"I have not had a customer suggest the solution is too expensive. There are licenses to use the solution."
"It's straightforward licensing."
"I very much recommend the free trial mode."
"I would rate them 4 out of 5 for their current pricing. There are no additional costs to the standard licensing fees."
"We pay on a monthly basis which is approximately $10 per user on the Microsoft Power BI Pro license. At the moment we are still down at 400 users, but once we reach 500 users, we will move to the premium edition. The premium is $5,000 for unlimited users. Currently, with the 40 users, the cost is roughly $500."
"Microsoft BI is not expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
