"There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources."
"The standard BI visualization capabilities are great."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."

"Technical support is quite good."
"Lacked connectivity with other third-party tools and data sources."

What I'd like to see in Amazon QuickSight in the future is a distributed centralized system where I can manage all reports in one place, and for Amazon QuickSight to become reporting as a service."
"The integration in Microsoft BI could improve for other solutions, such as Oracle DB and PostgresSQL. Additionally, the reporting from the databases to Microsoft BI should be in real-time and the overall performance could be better."

"The way you navigate the product, compared to other products in this industry, that could be improved a bit."
