"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."

"I had the option to prepare data myself instead of always having to depend on the data team."
"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with 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 have a little problem with Synapse Analytics because it's very new. It's a product that has many capabilities, but it is not very well developed. I have to see the list of permissions from one object. I can't do this in Synapse. I have to search on the web for a solution because I don't have the tool for it."

"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"The challenge of this product is in truncating the table data."

"The solution is quite costly."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
