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.

I can now create more meaningful charts--radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc., but it doesn't support Linux or commodity hardware.

* The tool is very easy to use, we got on-premise training from Panorama, within days we were proficient enough to play with the tool. * The customer service is very responsive, they answered our queries. * I saw lot of people complaining about the lack of community forum, but they do have a forum which is quite active. * The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations. * The things I like most is it supports variety of charts, I was quite bored with my previous BI tool which mostly supported bar, line and pie charts. I can now create more meaningful charts radar, donut, pareto, scatter, range, point, boxplot, etc.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."

"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."

"What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."

"We have found the product to be scalable."

"Easy to use and the visualization is valuable."

"The solution is not that difficult to install, although this will vary with the experience of the person responsible for its installation."

"The sharing features are vital, especially the ability to share and test different shared dashboards."

"When we are introducing Microsoft BI to our clients, if they're familiar with Excel, the transition phase will be much easier for them. They can easily switch from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft BI. The core foundation or the base technology is the same in both tools. There are a few limitations in Microsoft Excel, and this is where Microsoft BI comes in."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"The tool is extremely easy to use, with a click you can import data and create the visualizations."

Cons

"The cost of the solution can get high."

"There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."

"The mobile app is very poor."

"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."

"Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way."

"It should be easier to use when there are multiple system sources, and simplify the connections to it."

"I feel the modeling page should be simplified."

"The upgrade process could be improved."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"No support for Linux or commodity hardware. Limited support for big data analytics."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced well for what they offer. However, the premium version is very expensive."

"It is part of our Office 365 license."

"The licensing can be complicated."

"It would be better if the price was cheaper."

"This product offers good value for the money."

"I have never worked on licensing, but I have heard that it is reasonable."

"It is a cheap solution for our needs."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."
