I've taken a look at Power Map and Power view, which are both very impressive visually, Great for any Power point presentations My only minor gripe was that power Map could not plug directly to my MS analysis services cube.. So found myself using power query to create my own view off the ETL data. Then found an issue due to limitation mentioned above on capacity. If its free though I'm sure ill be happy to spend the time adjusting my data sources to be able to utilise it.

@Kari - You might want to download Power BI Designer Preview. It points to MS Analysis Services cubes. Also, PowerView does now support cubes as long as you have SQL 2012 SP4 and something else which I've currently forgotten. A little googling will yield the result - :)

I am a heavy user of Power BI. It give you the freedom to do analytics withouth having to be dependent of IT and you can share them with your clients easily. Excelent dashboards and maps.

The two are similar, it is cars but of different brands; I ask 1-) the users use Windows 2-) you have Office 365 3-) They will use Excel for the data. If you answer yes to the 3, better BI due to integration, and learning is easier for the user. If they are non-Microsoft databases, investigate on the provider's side, for example, SAP, IBM, etc. I have trained end users in Power BI. I know that Power BI has the majority of connectors. I hope my comment is helpful. Regards

Hi Ross, Easy is a tricky description...We are going through this effort too. We are 'grappling' with the governance of this type of access as well as the technical journey. So you are not alone. Fusion Middleware applications include a number of connectivity options including native client or Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC), with OLEDB, JDBC, etc., on top. Each has its own quirks. This is the 'plumbing' between the analytic tool and source. Adding to that is the cloud and database level security of the data source.  A good way to start is to use Oracle's SQL Developer to connect to your data source. It gives developers a great query tool for Oracle and other databases. (https://www.oracle.com/databas...) Once you understand what you can access, you can easily migrate that connectivity to Power BI. Moreover, you will have validated queries that you can test directly or simply bring in the tables using the PBI Navigator.
