What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
We can now examine and study our data, as well as publish material to the Power BI online service and discuss it with others. It's compatible with all Microsoft products. It is the greatest in the BI market and has a user-friendly interface. Power BI is extremely user-friendly and allows for as many integrations as we can imagine.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The pictorial charts were the most dramatic aspects, and I was particularly pleased by its visual analytical skills. At a low cost, the cloud edition provides a lot more capacity and collaborative capabilities. Switching between both the desktop and cloud versions is equally simple. With the statistics that have been prepared, it is also extremely simple to explain stats.
What do you dislike most about this product?
When dealing with huge data sets, particularly on the free version, there are delays. The free edition has relatively restricted functionality and does not demonstrate the software's real performance capabilities. You'll have to upgrade to the premium version. The Heat Maps in Power BI are one area that they really need to enhance.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It's a dependable tool that allows me to examine and display large amounts of data. It is feasible to make data-driven judgments with this software. When creating a dashboard, if you recognize what you're doing, you may make it very simple for your customers to have numerous helpful representations for the data that matters to individuals.
