"It's quite difficult to learn how to use Power BI."
"It's not really complicated, but I didn't find the things I was looking for. The ones I used to work with within Dash are more open, and there are more choices. But with Power BI, there are only limited types of plots that I can use. For example, when I wanted to put the plots in Power BI, there was no extendable space. You have a limited page where you can place a maximum of three plots in that, and you can't do more than that on a single page. You have to create a new page, a different page for that. That made it a bit annoying, and the filtering part is limited, with basic functions. If you want to make custom filtering or custom functions, you can't do that."
"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."
"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."
"It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake."
"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint."
"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."
"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
