Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data.""It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc.""I liked that Microsoft Power BI handles a large amount of data. I can handle hundreds of rows from Postgres in a few minutes. I also like how it detects the relationship between the tables without explicitly saying that. It just detects the relationship automatically. That made it easier to work with the data.""It is very well integrated with other Microsoft products, including PowerApps and Excel, as well as Access, so it fits well into our workflow.""Technical support is quite responsive.""The solution integrates with other Microsoft solutions very well.""Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision.""The one feature most of our customers like is data visualization. When we were doing BI directly from SQL, most users found it challenging to create their own reports. Power BI has self-serve analytics that the end-users can do themselves. On most projects, people are primarily using data visualization and self-serve analytics."

"The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts.""The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective.""The tool helps to catch results and review them.""The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing."

Cons
"Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS.""I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions.""When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it.""BI is scalable, but there are some problems with limited online storage.""I would like Microsoft to include some inbuilt machine learning so that it becomes point-and-click, rather than us developing models out of API and BI connecting to that and getting the results. That process gets in the way of continuity.""The product doesn't support unstructured data. It doesn't support video, streaming, and strings of files.""The look is simple, and could be a little more professional.""The reporting needs to be improved."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"The solution could run faster.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes.""I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience."
