We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on.""The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points.""The initial setup is straightforward.""There is continual improvement year-over-year.""I like how the Query Editor lets me manipulate the data, and the available visuals are good. You can do everything using the UI.""Microsoft BI is very easy to set up and use.""Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python.""Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."

Cons
"When you go to the cloud, its licensing is not intuitive. It is a little bit complex. When you have to purchase a new license, it is difficult to understand on their website what exactly you need to pay and how you can group. It is something that is applicable to all Microsoft products. They're not always so simple and clear when it comes to licensing. Their support can also be better in terms of explaining how they resolved an issue and what steps they took to resolve it. They are able to resolve the issue, but they can be better at explaining the approach they took to resolve the issue. It could have something in the direction of machine learning. It can have some kind of integration with machine learning where you can ask for some reports with natural language.""We need more integration capabilities.""The product could have better analytics capabilities.""It is too slow. I hope in future it will be a comparable big data tool, such as, for example, Data Lake.""It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it.""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.""The reporting part of Microsoft BI is rather limited compared to other reporting tools.""In the future, Microsoft BI can be better by increasing user-friendliness"
