"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see."
"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."

"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."

"Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds."

"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."

"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
