Microsoft Power BI Reviews

We use Microsoft Power BI to automate dashboards to present information to our senior management. It helps us extract the relevant data from the dashboard.

The product’s most valuable feature is data updates after modifying and refreshing the dashboard. It offers a lot of information and is very flexible and interactive.

The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version. It would be a very useful functionality.

We have been using Microsoft Power BI for about a year and a half.

The product is stable. It works perfectly, and we haven’t encountered any issues working with it.

It is a scalable product. We have around 100 Microsoft Power BI users in our organization. We are expecting growth in the number of users.

We have worked with SAP BusinessObjects. Power BI is better because it has more flexibility and functionalities.

I rate Microsoft Power BI a nine out of ten. I recommend it to users who want to pursue a career in data engineering. It will be very helpful and provides a lot of guides on the Internet, especially on YouTube. They can gain knowledge about its advantages and disadvantages.

I've used it for work I did with three clients in the Brazilian banking sector: 
Bank Bradesco, B&B Bank, and the Regional Bank of Brazil.

It's very fast and user-friendly.

Microsoft is behind IBM when it comes to security features.

I've used Microsoft Power BI for about three years with different clients.

You don't need much support with Microsoft Power BI because it has such a large base of users who can answer your questions on their forums. There are also many video tutorials and webinars available online that offer solutions to whatever problems you may have.

I use Cognos Analytics 11 for some projects, but many of my clients prefer Microsoft Power BI because it is less expensive.

We use Microsoft BI to construct panels and analysis for the final users by themselves. We have all the units outside and analyses made by the final users. They can share their work with other colleagues and other teammates easily.

The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources.

Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI.

I would like to see in a future release the ability to create rules with no code. Similar to drag-and-drop solutions, or some other way with no code.

I have been using Microsoft BI for approximately two years.

The solution is reliable, we do not have a problem with the availability.

Microsoft BI is a scalable solution.

We have approximately 500 users using this solution in my organization. We have plans to increase the use of the solution. Our employees are getting better with the ability to use the solution.

The support from Microsoft is satisfactory.

The initial setup of Microsoft BI was straightforward.

I would encourage others to use Microsoft BI, it is a good solution.

I rate Microsoft BI a nine out of ten.

The interface could be improved.

I have been using this solution for three years.

The stability is good.

The scalability is good.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10.

We are a consultant company, so we use BI for project follow-up, sales and pipeline. We are partners with Microsoft and I'm the company's client director.

I like that implementation is very quick and that the solution is very user-friendly and easy to work with. The solution has provided us with speedy insight and faster effects on the table. It's a smooth product. 

I think that automation could be improved and performance enhanced. Documentation for developers could also be improved. 

The solution is stable. 

Scalability is very good. It can be pricey to move to the P1 licenses for $5,000 a month for smaller companies, but there are workarounds using A1 to A6 licenses which are cheaper and more flexible in the pricing. We have 50 users in the company. 

When we deployed five years ago, the setup was very complex. Since then, it's become much easier. 

Compared to competitors like Tableau, Microsoft BI is not so expensive.

I recommend this solution. Microsoft BI has matured a lot in the last year.

I rate this solution nine out of 10. 

We use this solution for reporting around data migration.

BI provides us with strong computing power and calculations with quality visibility which helps with the whole pipeline.

I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs.

BI also allows us to make functional dashboards, perform queries, and display data in various ways. And, there are always new features being released.

I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in.

I have been using BI on and off for the past two years.

Stability is very good.

This solution is scalable.

I have not needed to contact support.

Originally, we were only using Excel, trying out different dashboards for the data. This was not powerful enough for us. It was not easy to use or streamline so we made the switch.

The initial setup was straightforward and deployment took about a week plus another few weeks to do work within the BI.

Our deployment was performed by our in-house team of one.

There is a free version of the Power BI which may be worth looking into for small teams prior to purchasing a license. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I have been a professor at a program mastery at UISEK University for the past two years where I teach students how to use these tools.

Being able to transfer data with the Power Query feature is great for teaching with about one to two hundred rows of data. I am also able to see the relationship between multiple tables and create various sheets and dashboards.

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.

Additionally, in the next release, I would like to be able to export thing, such as charts, as a PDF.

I have been using this solution for two years.

Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility.

The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features.

I have been using Microsoft BI for approximately two years.

The solution is stable, but not as good as other tools I use.

Microsoft BI is a scalable solution.

The support of Microsoft BI is good.

Microsoft BI is very cost-effective and this is why we use it.

I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.
