Microsoft Power BI Reviews

I use Microsoft BI for my own projects that are related to integrating with Excel datasets. I use the visualization and graphing functions, and I have tried using the Python integration.

The most valuable feature is integration with Python.

The integration with third-party products could be more stable.

I have been using Microsoft BI for approximately one month.

Microsoft BI could be a little more stable.

We have approximately 10 users. I don't expect that we will expand our usage or continue using this product.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

There is no complexity in the initial setup. It takes approximately 15 minutes to deploy.

There are twenty people in the team that handles the deployment and maintenance of our solutions.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Power BI is a great tool for analytics. It is useful if you have a requirement to create a dashboard with self-service capability, along with KPIs, and you want to drill down to the data details.

I have tried SSRS and later moved to Power BI. SSRS requires every analytical feature to be implemented separately. However, with the appropriate granularity of data, you can drill down and drill up easily which gives you a different view of the dashboards. Now with having on-premises availability, it makes this tool even more powerful.

If you are not very technical this tool could be very useful.

The most valuable features are:

• Self service
• Inbuilt analytics
• Custom visualization
• Printing of dashboard helps a lot
• Dashboard scheduling
  
• Easy collaboration with other users on Power BI
• Learning curve for this tool is small
• Dashboard refresh rate can be configured
• Power BI works both on-premises and cloud

Adding paginated reports to this tool could be of great help for users who want to move away from SSRS. 

I would like to see built-in Git support, incremental loading of data, and a machine learning model for predictive analysis.

Custom colouring from the dashboard itself would be helpful.

I have been using Microsoft BI, SSRS, and Power BI for four years.

I have developed and deployed more than twenty separate customer solutions. I am a Business Intelligence Deployment Specialist. The most significant implementation was to reduce the Financial consolidation time for one hundred and twenty companies into one shareholder report, from thirty days to four minutes.

We help customers deploy and analyze sophisticated analytics models. These models have helped them all to get a better insight into their data and many of them have found very valuable insights that made them more profitable, more efficient, and in some cases changed the direction of the business.

The feature I find most valuable is the ability to publish Power Bi reports, using an embedded link, directly onto a website. Data that is not classified as confidential can very easily be exposed to customers, vendors, or even just visitors to the web site.

I would like to see Machine Learning for Power Bi Pro users or an intermediate license to enable Machine Learning if you don't have access to a Premium account.

The minimum embedded capacity for Machine learning is currently an A3 capacity, and this should be reduced to include A1 level licenses.

We use the solution for revenue forecasting and other predictive analytic reports based on specific requirements.

I have found the quick reporting and the conductivity with all the data sources valuable.

I would like to see some AI incorporated into this solution in the future.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

The stability of this solution is great.

The scalability at first was not the greatest but it has turned out it can be very good.

The support has been good.

I have found the installation straightforward compared to other competitors.

Having this solution on the could cloud allows for quick deployment. We could deliver the solution within four to eight weeks depending on the complexity.

There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually.

I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

We are using it for reporting ERP data, IT service data, financial data, and so on.

It has been helpful in getting insights. We weren't able to get insights at such a level. It is also helpful in getting an overview of different departments. We are able to do it much faster than before.

We are able to collaborate on things and get insightful data visualizations.

Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region.

Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources.

I have been using this solution for two years. In this company, I have been using it for two months.

It is not completely stable. Sometimes, it goes off for the whole North Europe region. Its stability should be improved.

It is scalable, and there are no issues with its scalability. I would rate it a ten out of ten in terms of scalability. We have around 300 users of this solution.

We don't have any issues with their technical support. 

I have worked only with Power BI.

It is easy because documentation and a lot of tutorials are available. Its deployment took one month.

Power BI premium is really expensive for our market. A lot of small and medium companies would like to purchase it, but they can't afford it.

I would rate Power BI an eight out of ten.

Our primary use case of this product was for financial reporting and dashboard reporting. I'm a business development executive and our company is based in Belgium. 

The solution is stable with reasonable performance. The initial setup is relatively easy. 

The quality of the performance is dependent on the data source. If you have to pull multiple data sources performance is somewhat lacking. 

I've been using this solution for over a year. 

The solution is stable. 

The initial setup was straightforward and we had around 25 users in the company. 

We are fading out the use of this solution and we're switching to Tableau. 

I would recommend this solution if you have good knowledge of DAX. 

I am using this solution for official purposes and for my personal needs. I use it to sort my documents.

I have yet to experience all of the useful applications. I need to experience a lot more.

I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions.

I have been working with Microsoft products for three decades.

I believe we are using Version 10.

Because our internet here is not constant, it fluctuates, which is why I don' use the cloud-based version.

It is not stable. The stability could be improved.

Microsoft BI is scalable.

We have more than 50 users in our organization. More of the users are technical people.

We have an IT technical expert in our organization. If we have any issues, he is the person who resolves them.

The initial setup is straightforward. It is very easy to install.

I completed the installation myself. I did not need the help of an integrator or consultant.

I am considering personalization but I don't know what the possibilities and the advantages of it are.

I would recommend this solution to others who are considering it.

I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

We use it for BI analytics. I am a data scientist, so I model data and show the data through dashboards using this tool.

I think that the best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question.

I think that they can make the solution easy to use for people who are not experts in data because many clients try to use it, but they need to be prepared before using it.

Also, now we have another solution on the market that is more easy to use for those who are not trained in these kinds of tools.

I have been using Microsoft BI for more than five years.

I think the stability is good. I haven't had any problems yet with Power BI.

My experience with technical support has been good.

For me, the initial setup was easy, but I have been working for more than 20 years in data analytics. However, sometimes for end-users it's not as easy as another tool on the market.

A dashboard can be made in 30 minutes or two days, depending on the client, the information, and the quality of the data. I am also a teacher, so for my classes I can create a low plan dashboard in 30 minutes.

I used to recommend Microsoft BI, but the only issue is that you would need to know data analytics before using it. So it is not easy to use if you're not an expert. However, it is a good tool, and I think it's a good solution for many business problems.

Also, I would rate Microsoft BI at eight on a scale from one to ten.
