"It offers a lot of information and is very flexible and interactive."
"It is a good platform for data analysis, organization, and all of the other interim performances that are necessary."
"We like the drag and drop interactability visualization. We really like that. It's user-friendly."
"It is very good, and it supports the Microsoft ecosystem, including Excel, etc."
"Power BI is more powerful than other tools because it is new for us. Each new version has more capabilities, and we're expecting AI and ML features in the next version."
"It provides easy integration with Office tools."
"It is easy to use. It has got a desktop where people can develop their own dashboards. Basically, we have figured out how to connect finance contracts and all programs for the government agency. So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"

"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The language support is very good."
"It's incredibly fast and can handle large volumes of data without slowing down our operations."
"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."
"If I have to update data automatically, where I have to pin the gateway, it doesn't update. There is a scheduled refresh functionality so that it refreshes automatically, but I find it very hard to make it work."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The solution could benefit by allowing deeper data analytics."

"Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
