Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Two valuable most features are the ability to create columns and create measures.""I like the downloadable visualizations a lot. I think that they give the user a very nice starting point in creating awesome dashboards, with the right way to tell their data story.""Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use.""Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training.""Microsoft BI is scalable.""The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website.""The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good.""We found the initial setup to be straightforward."

Cons
"I would like to see more AI capabilities in future releases. There's a strong interest in AI, including technologies like GPT, which facilitate real-time interactions.""The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas.""Actionable insights could be better.""Anything they can do to improve enterprise collaboration is going to help people get set up and utilize the solution.""When it comes to improvement, I would say there could be more tutorials for students in universities who are just learning it. And it wouldn't have to be just for students in universities. It might also be for the people who use it in the real world.""If I compare it to Tableau, I'd say the visualizations can be better. We should have multiple options. By that I mean, while there are multiple options for the visualization, the look and feel of the dashboard when you compare to Tableau is on the lower side. Tableau has a much better visualization.""Our expectation is putting BI to work in real-time data collection systems in the maritime environment.""The only challenge I have found is that they do not have a Mac version."

"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes.""The solution could run faster."
