We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The email traffic analysis feature is very useful.""We can use the dashboard to see which Exchange servers are currently having issues, their health, and other details. The GUI is very good."

"Management reporting solution that's very stable and scalable.""The reports are easy to create.""We found the initial setup to be straightforward.""Implementation is very quick and the solution is very user-friendly.""Everything that's in M Query and DAX is the heart of Power BI because with these tools you can make up for a lot of other missing features.""The amount of customization that you can do is good, and it's relatively straightforward to do.""The scalability overall has been quite good.""The Microsoft Power BI app is very good.

Cons
"I am primarily interested in reporting and automation improvements.""There is room for improvement in the reporting, maybe having more customizable reports would be good."

More ManageEngine Exchange Reporter Plus Cons →

"I am taking a course to be able to use the solution better. Some aspects of the solution are not straightforward.""It should be more scalable for an enterprise-level implementation. When you deploy large data sets, the response has to be faster in Power BI. This is one thing that needs to be improved in it.""This solution needs integration with SAS and more deep analysis functionality.""We have used other solutions and the reporting functionality should be user-friendly and have a drag and drop feature should be available, but Microsoft BI doesn't have these features. When you are creating reports and you can't change as a user. Every time you need one developer or one technical person to make the changes.""We would like improvements made to the paginated reports so that it produces quality similarly to SSRS.""The orchestration module for refreshing data flows is something that is missing and we have to do it manually.""The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it.""The handling of the workspaces can be made more granular for user access rights. It can be managed a little bit better in terms of the connection to Active Directory so that we have more granular access rights. I am not sure if this is really possible or if we can solve it differently, but we need a lot of workspaces, and we are not sure how we can deal with it from the access rights perspective."
