"The initial setup process is easy."
"The most interesting feature of Microsoft Power BI is that it's very user-friendly."

"The technical support before implementation could be better for premium partners."
"Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata."

"They asked you to pay if you want to synchronize more than eight times, you would have to go to a Power BI enterprise license, which is much more costly."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"The look and feel should be updated in terms of the types of dashboards and graphs that you can produce. They aren't as visual as some of its competitors."
