Cons
"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint.""The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics.""The Power Query feature needs to be improved to handle large amounts of data. This feature is also slow for large data transfers making it better to use some kind of script.""I have to write scripts to query data for analyzing performance.""Power BI shows reports on actual data, not metadata.""Its setup and support should be improved. We would like to see more material for developers that provides clear explanations about how we can do data mining by using Microsoft BI. It would also be good if we can connect a feature to other customized machine learning solutions.""The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them.""If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking."
