Robust system consistently elevates data visualization and seamlessly updates with user-driven advancements

Power BI is a general-use visualization system. I can express the performance of our network through high-level key performance indicators. It allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience. I create improvement dashboards for task forces and work teams. I have built analytic dashboards that guide analytics, enabling research and dataset manipulation.

PowerBI or SyncFusion - which is better?

I would recommend Microsoft's PowerBI. There may be a few situations where SyncFusion may be better, but for compatibility and longer term support I would recommend PowerBI. It will be easier to find talent to use it as well.
