"I rate the solution’s stability a nine out of ten."
"I find Power BI's reporting feature the most valuable. The solution has improved a lot. There are new features getting added day by day. In the past, they didn't even have the printing feature, but now they have it."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."
"Constant collaboration is the most valuable. I can build a dashboard, and several co-workers can access this dashboard. We can share information that is important for decision-making. It is a very easy-to-deploy solution. It is compatible with a lot of data sources. It is also very stable and scalable. There is also a very good forum and a lot of help and online training."
"It's a straightforward setup."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very user friendly. It is interactive in terms of visualizations. It is very eye-catching, and it attracts users. There are a lot of options to visualize the data in different drafts and views. I have used different visualization tools, and I found Power BI to be more efficient in terms of performance, user-friendliness, and ease of use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."
"The solution could provide more customization."
"The tool must be made more user-friendly."
"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."
"My data is restricted to my DB and I'm not sure how this would handle an extremely large dataset."
"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."
"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."
"The orchestration module for refreshing data flows is something that is missing and we have to do it manually."
"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."
"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."
