Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature of Power BI is its ability to provide customized visualizations and insights tailored to specific business needs.""The initial setup is relatively simple.""The tool is very flexible so it allows creativity.""The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything.""Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is.""This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it.""The dashboard features are really valuable, you can connect to multiple data points.""It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."

"The most valuable feature I would say is the flexibility in editing.""The most important feature of the solution is the ability to run Python-based scripts.""The tool helps to catch results and review them.""The solution is simple for people from a viewing perspective, not a coding perspective."

More Mode Analytics Pros →

Cons
"Better mapping capabilities and easier administration access would be beneficial, especially for understanding who has viewed reports.""We haven't used it that long and I haven't come across anything that's stood out as needing to be fixed.""The initial setup is a little bit technical.""The formatting template could be improved.""Actionable insights could be better.""It's not really complicated, but I didn't find the things I was looking for. The ones I used to work with within Dash are more open, and there are more choices. But with Power BI, there are only limited types of plots that I can use. For example, when I wanted to put the plots in Power BI, there was no extendable space. You have a limited page where you can place a maximum of three plots in that, and you can't do more than that on a single page. You have to create a new page, a different page for that. That made it a bit annoying, and the filtering part is limited, with basic functions. If you want to make custom filtering or custom functions, you can't do that.""The mobile app is very poor.""Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."

More Microsoft Power BI Cons →

"I think in terms of User Interface, I would say it can be better.""Mode Analytics needs to improve the overall user experience.""The solution could run faster.""The data visualization is cumbersome in Mode Analytics. I want the solution to add a map that has an easy interface. The UI is slow sometimes."
