Pros
"We have found the solution to be stable.""The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything.""My understanding is that the initial setup is pretty easy.""The fact that you can visualize items is great.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is an easy-to-use tool.""The stability is good.""My favorite feature is the power query editor, where it can do the data transformations.""It is a little easier at buildings charts and graphs than Tableau."

Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."

Cons
"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint.""The initial setup is a little bit technical.""Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports.""Power BI doesn't support some open-source data sources that are new, such as SnowSQL, Iceberg, or ClickHouse.""I would like to see Machine Learning for Power Bi Pro users or an intermediate license to enable Machine Learning if you don't have access to a Premium account.""I think because I'm moving more into RPA, I'd definitely like to see integration across the RPA, Power BI, or Tableau platforms, because that integration could then make automation and mundane reporting much faster.""The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things.""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."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"Quality of support varies.""In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience.""The dashboard could be improved and include additional features.""When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
