What advice do you have for others considering Microsoft BI?

Microsoft Power BI has the capability to integrate with different systems such as Cloudera, Impala, Hive, and any Apache technologies. In the new versions, Microsoft Power BI added new technologies to enhance integration, making it an embedded feature. I do not have any fees associated with Microsoft Power BI. My overall review rating for Microsoft Power BI is nine out of ten.

I create data analytic tools for clients using the Microsoft Power BI framework. I always recommend using Microsoft Power BI, as it will significantly increase business. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Power BI a 9.

In my organization's small branch, approximately 10 people use Microsoft Power BI, but I don't know the total number across the organization. I haven't used Microsoft Power BI for AI-driven projects, but we are planning to incorporate it with machine learning and AI now. I don't have specific advice for people considering Microsoft Power BI because every organization has different needs and expectations. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Microsoft Power BI a 10.

I am currently working in the field of data engineering, utilizing tools such as PySpark, PySpark SQL, Python, integration services through SQL Server, and analytical services. Since the work has been done on migration, I also possess knowledge about AWS and Azure. I work with Python and have experience with both PyCharm and Visual Studio IDEs. Reaching out to technical support regarding Microsoft Power BI is very rare as most of our work can be carried out efficiently without needing assistance. Based on my experience, I would rate Microsoft Power BI a 9 out of 10.

This is a separate solution which we have implemented for some of our use cases that require the partition approach. On-demand basis operations can be performed without subscribing to the entire platform. We have subscribed to specific features of the platform and are paying for only those features. We are a platinum partner with Microsoft, so the tools automatically become part of our ecosystem. This follows the usual process of Microsoft. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution an 8.

We're using the organizational setup for Microsoft Power BI. We use Microsoft Power BI service online, but it's just the organizational service. We never use anything to publish reports publicly. I am aware of Copilot in Microsoft Power BI, though it's disabled for us and I haven't explored it extensively. Microsoft Power BI is pretty self-explanatory and becomes more complex as you try to solve challenges and business requests. Most of the time, there is a workaround available. There are many resources available to help you get started, and you don't necessarily need to invest heavily in courses or certifications. I rate Microsoft Power BI 10 out of 10.

The only limitation is the customer size. For smaller to medium-sized clients, I recommend Microsoft Power BI. However, for enterprise-level clients, it is better to recommend non-Microsoft Power BI technology due to the need for robust support as a system integrator. Overall, I would rate Microsoft Power BI an eight.

I recommend Microsoft Power BI to others. I rate the solution overall around a seven as it accomplishes its tasks most of the time. However, performance issues or lack of certain features can arise in certain cases. I would rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution as an eight out of ten. While Excel has become increasingly capable, making significant improvements, Power BI offers advantages for certain users. Medium-sized companies might find Excel sufficient and of good value. Excel’s evolution with functions like XLOOKUP over VLOOKUP offers ease of use. Additionally, tools like Copilot bring another dimension of capabilities. Although Excel is not free, it remains a versatile tool. Some achieve excellent dashboard results with it, comparable to Power BI.

I have not seen Power BI associated with machine learning or data science. It is a clear-cut data visualization tool without overlaps in AI. The overall product rating is six out of ten.

Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

Given the increasing need to analyze large datasets, I would definitely recommend Microsoft Power BI. It is a valuable tool for both academic and practical applications, particularly for those involved in data analysis and IT studies. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

The solution supports integration from various applications well enough to meet most business requirements. I rate it a nine out of ten.

I would rate Power BI overall as an eight. It's a very powerful tool for users, which I appreciate. However, there are some areas that could be improved. As for AI-driven decision processes, I believe Power BI supports them, although we haven't utilized those features ourselves.

I find Microsoft Power BI to be the most effective for data integration. Microsoft Power BI actually dramatically improved our company's data visualization, and if we are lucky, then we have the features inside of the tool itself, which we can develop, and it is a very fast process. When you need a new feature or a new dashboard, and when we don't have any good news on the internet from Microsoft, we need to develop such features from scratch, for which we spend a lot of time creating a new dashboard for monitoring purposes. Microsoft Power BI impacted our operational costs, and the benefits are nice because you can monitor everything. The advantage that we have in Microsoft Power BI is something we need to learn, especially the new language and new tool, but it is not our focus because I am the leader of the software engineering team. Microsoft Power BI Power is a tool to support my team, and my first activity involved managing tasks. Microsoft Power BI has handled scalability as our company's data analytics needs have grown because you can use the tool's scalability feature on the cloud. If I need to add a new member to work on Microsoft Power BI, I don't think it is good because every single person can work on a single dashboard offered by the tool, but if you would scale up, then you won't be able to work using one dashboard. Though I have no idea how the maintenance is done, I know that it is a process carried out by our company's team members. I rate the tool a five out of ten.

I would recommend Microsoft Power BI based on the use cases. I rate it a seven out of ten.

It's one of the solutions I've used and been happy with. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. I would recommend it.

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

I'm working with a company that manages detailed sales data for the clothing industry. We're tracking orders, brands, seasons, and which facility handled the order, along with audits. We're focusing on metrics like fabric consumption and fiber content for reporting. We can develop reports in Power BI, including RxTx reports. Many of the business teams are also using Power BI. For support, we use Slack to manage tickets and TableLab for some tasks. Power BI offers a trial version, and you can get a pro license at a relatively low cost, with users having access to AV accounts. The main advantages are that it’s easy to use and more affordable compared to other reporting tools. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I would definitely recommend using this solution. Power BI offers very good value for money. You do need some skills, but not necessarily deep technical ones. It's more important to understand the business context and how to design effective reports in order to put Power BI and connected solutions from the Power Platform to best use. My view is that we often overemphasize the technology and miss the true asset: the value that Power BI and the others bring to the business.

I would definitely recommend using this solution. It's easy to use. It can get data from a lot of sources. It's user-friendly. It's easy to learn, and it's easy to search on the internet for information about it. Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I would recommend using this solution. Within the bank, we mandate the use of Power BI first. If it can't meet specific requirements, then departments might look for other solutions. Outside the company, I would say it's value for money, especially for those with a lot of SQL databases or .NET applications. It's a product worth considering for its value.

Microsoft Power BI has improved our company's data analysis and visualization tasks since it helps simplify our work. My company is able to generate data analysis and easily deal with visualization tasks. The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI for data storytelling stems from the integration with different types of products along with the support option it provides to help integrate with other tools. Caching in Microsoft Power BI would improve the organization's performance. Microsoft Power BI's Q&A feature impacted our company's data exploration efforts since it is an area used by many types of users, including those involved in management and analytics, as it helps with cross-filtering. The product's real-time dashboard and data refreshing capabilities are good, but it freezes without showing any status during the data retrieval if the volume is high. It is not possible to use the product's in-depth features since it requires many controls and user interfaces. The product is mainly for managers who want to track work details. I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

I would recommend it, especially the Pro or Premium versions. They are better. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Power BI has revolutionized our reporting and decision-making processes. Instead of spending hours manually working with static data in Excel, we now have dynamic information at our fingertips. With Power BI, we can quickly make queries, access answers, and generate reports in minutes. By efficiently extracting data from databases and creating visually appealing visuals, such as KPI dashboards, Power BI enables us to identify trends, compare data, and make informed decisions promptly. It streamlines the entire process, from data extraction to visualization, saving us time and providing valuable insights for effective decision-making. My advice for someone looking to use Power BI would be to start with the Pro license, as it is usually sufficient for most users. If you are dealing with a large number of customers, consider consulting with a Microsoft partner to find the best licensing solution. Based on my experience, I would recommend Power BI to others. Overall, I would rate the product as a nine out of ten.

I'd recommend it for its features and cost-effectiveness. I find this product pretty okay. It works well for me. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Power BI is an essential tool for any kind of detailed reporting. It's efficient and effective. I would definitely recommend using this solution. Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

I rate Microsoft Power BI a nine out of ten. I recommend it to users who want to pursue a career in data engineering. It will be very helpful and provides a lot of guides on the Internet, especially on YouTube. They can gain knowledge about its advantages and disadvantages.

would recommend the solution, rating it eight out of ten. There’s no such thing as an ideal product. In my perspective, perfection remains an unattainable goal. However, I can't rate it lower than eight because Microsoft actively invests in BI's development and expansion. They have a roadmap and allocate resources to it, which is evident in the growing user base. This continuous growth adds value to the product and benefits its users.

I am not a user of the solution at the moment. I am an architect taking time to evaluate and see how my company can use Microsoft Power BI. Our company hardly finds a tool where we can say one size fits all, so we need to use other tools for larger amounts of data and data cleansing. It would be effective for those planning to use the solution to find the best solution that suits their requirements. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

I am a cybersecurity analyst. Knowing the numbers and having comprehensive insights are important for our organization. It holds significant importance for various teams, including finance and other departments, to make informed decisions and drive overall growth and success. I would rate Microsoft BI a ten out of ten.

Power BI is a complex tool that should not be taken for granted. Its capabilities and functionalities are multi-layered, and the more you delve into it, the more you realize how much there is to learn. It can be both challenging and fun to explore the different features and unlock the full potential of Power BI. As a BI developer, I joined the company without prior experience in BI. Since December 2021, I have been working on establishing a BI deployment in collaboration with a partner. My main focus is to create and enhance internal and external applications for app stores. Currently, my task primarily involves developing a new deployment strategy. I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution if you're a smaller organization. If you have massive data, like a corporation, then Tableau is probably the product to use. I rate this solution six out of 10.

I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

We are a customer and may also be a Microsoft partner, as we are a telecom. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I would encourage others to use Microsoft BI, it is a good solution. I rate Microsoft BI a nine out of ten.

The way Microsoft Power BI is used, particularly its Cleaner tool, should be improved. I just started using the solution and I use the PowerBI Cleaner with all the BI tools, and we need to have a dedicated data warehouse for that. PowerBI Cleaner would just be plugged directly to the data, and that's not good when you use your analytics solution, plugging it directly to the online transaction database. We should have an OLAP (online analytical processing) software that's dedicated only for that solution, but we don't do that yet. If we have time, we should do that, but the PowerBI Cleaner would just stop at that stage, because it serves it purpose, e.g. it serves us what we need.

I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

We use Microsoft Power BI. We also use AWS, but what we primarily use is Microsoft Power BI. We're using a combination of deployment models for this solution, because the model will depend on the customer need. We don't procure this solution and other Microsoft tools for ourselves. It's the customer who procures them, and there is not much issues for us to contact support. We are a Microsoft company, e.g. we are partners with Microsoft, so we have good rapport with them. We recommend Microsoft Power BI even for large enterprises. It's a tool that could be used even by smaller enterprises and by end customers. My rating for Microsoft Power BI is an eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft BI nine out of 10. We buy from a couple of vendors, and Microsoft is always at the top of the list for ease of use, simplicity, and cost. I've used the other vendors, but I'm still in love with Microsoft.

I would rate this solution 10 out of 10, against all the other competitors and as a BI tool. It's a 10 because of the price. It's not that expensive compared to other BI tools. It's also with regard to maintainability. It's easier to understand, easy to manage, and it's very flexible. You can create projects, you can create a website, et cetera. It also has accessibility. It can be integrated with a lot of systems and applications. It's the leading BI tool in the market.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10. The solution is reliable, maintainable, and scalable. It has good performance. The security is good. The only thing would be improving the front-end limitation, which prevents us from designing a UI that can match what the client wants. Be aware of the product's limitations so you don't promise the clients anything that the product itself cannot do.

We are Microsoft partners. I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

If you are looking for tabular reporting, then Power BI is not the tool for you. This isn't something that Microsoft speaks much about, and in my experience, if you want to do tabular reporting then there first has to be something in Power BI which can actually take loads of data and print it out on visuals in a tabular way, which is currently lacking. Power BI is really designed for analytical dashboarding and that's what it does best. For tabular reporting, on the other hand, it's better to just get the data exported out into Excel and do the rest there. I would rate Microsoft PowerBI a seven out of ten.

We are just a customer and an end-user. I'd advise people to use it, know their needs and understand what they want. Do the personal work well and make sure that Power BI is the right suite for your needs. It's important to do some research before jumping in. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. It's above version six. We are using on-prem. All the development is happening in the development environment and we are pushing to production. It is completed on Azure infrastructure. While production is on the cloud, development is happening on the on-premises server. Microsoft is a very desirable product and they already have provided extensive support. I'd rate the solution at a seven out of ten. If the data models were more robust, I would rate it higher.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. I would suggest using Power BI with a good detail tool behind it, and just using Power BI as a validation tool, not for the whole BI process.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

I rate Power BI an eight out of ten. I would recommend Power BI to those considering using it, but would also recommend that they explore it themselves and understand their requirements. Their requirements will be different, so it's all use case based.

My advice to those wanting to implement this solution is to have the use cases well prepared in advance. Additionally, it is important to know exactly what type of analytics, dashboards, and reports they want, we spend a lot of time with this. I rate Microsoft BI a nine out of ten

Synapse Analytics is the engine of the data that Power BI consumes. I would advise those that use the solution to check all the license modes that the tool has because it's very confusing sometimes. You cannot just buy the product, you need to know who needs the product, who will use it, and who will be publishing. There are many aspects to figure out that when you do it will be better for you. I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

If someone wants an embedded solution then Microsoft BI is very good because it works on many types of data, such as JSON. I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

We do not sell Microsoft products. We just use them. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. We use both cloud and on-premises deployments. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. I'd recommend the solution to others as the management portion of the solution is very easy.

If you are looking for a good BI solution for a small business that is very easy to deploy and not costly and that can use the cloud in terms of security, Power BI is probably the best solution in the market. I would rate it a nine out of 10. There are other solutions that might be better than this, but they're more costly. It is the cheapest BI solution in the market. It is not the best in terms of features, but it is the best in terms of value for money. For the volume of work that we have, there is absolutely no competition.

I rate Microsoft Power BI nine out of 10. It's widely used and incredibly practical. And it's a little easier to prepare, distribute, and automate reports or connect to databases. Power BI is also useful for warehouse management and data systems in data lakes. It's like a Swiss knife for reporting. So I generally recommend Microsoft Power BI for clients who don't have specific requirements for visualization. Tableau is better in that area. But at the same time, Power BI is also upgrading those features. Many of my customers already use Microsoft products like Office 365, so I often propose Microsoft Power BI because it integrates well with all the standard Microsoft business tools. And it's the quickest tool to implement and start using daily. You don't need much training. People can pick up this tool quickly and start using it right away. So I think that's the biggest advantage of Power BI.

The solution has had a lot of changes over the years and it is very good. However, there is more work to be done on extract and transform functions for it to be done properly. I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

My advice to someone looking to implement Power BI for his own organization would be to take things step by step. He should initially refrain from taking on big projects, instead focusing on agility, starting with the most requisite dashboards, working on them and garnering experience. The person will improve from one time to the next. One should familiarize himself with the details and how to move data and big data. He should not remain stuck waiting for the implementation of a big project. I rate Microsoft BI as an eight out of ten.

I'd rate Microsoft BI as an eight out of 10. The biggest drawback is the user interface. From what I'm seeing, Windows 11 is going to have a more user-friendly interface. Even Microsoft Edge is adopting a more user-friendly interface. I'm hoping that Power BI follows this trend as well. My advice for anyone who is thinking about adopting Microsoft BI is to understand what you're trying to do with it. If you're trying to do analytics with it, then it depends on the kind of analytics. If you're want to do statistical analytics, it's not the tool for you. It's a tool that's better suited for visual analytics than it is for straight-up analytics. If you're dealing with patterns and data, it's great. If you're working with numbers and data, it's not so good. You're better off with a statistical package.

Because of performance issues and because we're unable to do all the aggregation, I rate this solution six out of 10.

I would advise others to just do their research and figure out what they want to do with it so that they know if it is going to be hard or easy. I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of 10.

While PowerBI is cloud-based, it can be used both on-and-off-premises. MSBI can also be implemented on-premises. PowerBI mostly involves visualization. I rate Microsoft BI as an eight out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

I would recommend the cloud version of this solution. I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft BI a six.

I would recommend this solution to those that have smaller businesses where they have lower user numbers and not a lot of data points. If they have a larger business I would choose an alternative, such as Qlik. I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

It can also be deployed on-premises. If you have it on-premises, make sure that you meet all the prerequisites and have all permissions. You should sort these things out before deploying Power BI. I faced some issues because I missed one of the prerequisites, and it took me one month to get it resolved. That's why I recommend completing all prerequisites. I would rate Microsoft Power BI a seven out of ten.

For anyone interested in building a BI solution from scratch, it's important to be aware that the data is not taken at a single platform. I believe that Microsoft BI is the best platform for this because it gives the flexibility to store the data into an SQL Server from different sources, and the ability to first dump your data into those servers. The analysis and reporting is in the same platform. Power BI has a much greater range than SSRS. Microsoft BI is a tool that gives it to you on a single platform, and you can build an end-to-end BI solution. This is not possible in Power BI. This solution gives me the total flexibility to use my skill set, in the technical forms and in the analysis form, in one go. I can do several things on a single platform regarding the data science, as well as the data analysis, pulling information, analyzing data, transforming data, creating data lakes, data warehouse, and data masks, all in a single platform. I rate this solution a nine out of 10.

We are consultants and implementers so we usually resell software. We do the end-to-end automation for customers as well. In the case of Microsoft BI, our clients are the ones that buy the license and use it. We don't necessarily use it directly. We're always working off the latest version, as the solution is constantly updated online. I would recommend the solution to other companies and users. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

I would advise others to just make sure that whatever you're going to deploy can be scaled out. You should get your data modeling in place first. I would recommend this solution. They have so many releases every month, which is quite cool. They are keeping on top of it, and it is not like you have to wait six months for a release. I'm still trying to keep up with the releases of the last four or five months. I would rate Power BI a nine out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. It has many features that are good. It mostly needs improved licensing. I would rate Power BI a nine out of ten.

I would recommend this solution. It is pretty good. Technically, it is at the same level as the other products that I've used so far. It has all the features, and it is easy to deploy. Its costs are really palatable. They are improving it all the time. I am fairly satisfied with this product. I would rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten. There are always areas for improvement, but I am fairly happy with it. I would not rate anything else also higher than seven.

I would rate Power BI an eight out of ten.

From a user's perspective, I'd advise people to really try to understand the data sources and have a good data environment in place, beforehand. That makes the Power BI environment much better. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of nine. I think it's the best BI tool that I've used. I know it has a really good rating. It accomplishes a lot for us in terms of data manipulation and BI in the reporting.

I am not going to be using the solution in the future because I prefer Qlik Sense. I rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

We are customers and end-users. We don't have a specific business relationship with Microsoft. I would rate the solution eight out of ten overall. We've been pretty satisfied with the product.

I rate this solution an eight out of 10.

You need a technical team to operate the solution. You need people for the administration of the data connection and data integration. They should be skilled in SQL, data management, and so forth. Typically, these are data engineers. We plan to continue using Microsoft BI. We are onboarding and implementing organization-wide for our long-term strategy, and the entire organization will be using Power BI. My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that it is easy to learn, especially for somebody who is good at Excel. Other tools are easy to use as well but if you are a Windows user then Power BI is a good option. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I rate this solution a nine out of 10.

We are just customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft. We are using the most recent version of the solution at this time. We're still exploring the solution and haven't fully implemented it yet. I would rate the solution at an eight out of ten. It's very user-friendly and so far I have had a good experience.

I prefer this product and I suggest Power BI to all customers, however, we know that if Power BI is a new idea, we make sure to show company-specific data or analytics for analyzing the data and how this solution can analyze everything quickly. That said, it's not for everybody. If all companies tried to put all their reporting expectations in the Power BI, it would not fit their expectations. It's not a standalone solution. You need other items in your toolbelt. You need, for example, something that can handle raw data, you need warehousing, et cetera. In general, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We have a pretty strong partnership with Microsoft and we tend to help them develop their product as well. We are using the latest version of the solution at this time. I would advise other organizations that the product has a lot to offer and therefore it's worth the investment and the effort. I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten. Sometimes it could be quite at rendering data, however, overall, we've been happy with the results.

I would recommend this product to potential users. But if they have options, I would recommend one of the others. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft BI a six.

In summary, this is a good product and I recommend it. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My first advice is to learn SQL. The foundational knowledge and SQL skills are the most important. You have to be very strong in writing SQL code. You have to improve your mind so that you know what you are writing in Power BI. After that, it is very easy to pick up any front-end reporting tool, such as Power BI or Tableau. After you have good expertise in Power BI, you can slowly learn Python so that you can do good integration. All these efforts would be great for your career. Being a gold partner of Microsoft for the past few years, we work directly with Microsoft product teams. Sometimes as part of a pre-launch, they also connect with us. If we see a feature or functionality that a client requires, we at least put it across to them. How they prioritize it within their product team is up to them. They prioritize depending on the need of the market and demand from various clients, and they release features accordingly. Sometimes, we also work on a pre-release. They release new features and functionalities every month. They have also recently released data protection smart narratives. If you look at the Gartner report, they are leading. I see a lot of demand for this solution. I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

My advice is that if you are looking for an aggregated level of data, using it for reporting, then it's better to use Power BI because everything will be in memory and it will be much faster. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We qualify as a partner as we're a software distributor. We're using the most current version of the solution. Here is the biggest thing: when you look at any BI tool or if it's the first time you're implementing one, you can easily get over enticed by the flashy display or the common things. However, it's the ability to drill down to your true business processes that are going to make it or break it as being the right tool or accesses the right information. Somebody that gets a BI tool for the first time will open a dashboard and say, "Oh, that's important for me to see every day." However, the reality is, when using a dashboard view you're looking for a red flag or highlights. The power of the BI tool is allowing you to drill down to the data behind the dashboard, that's where the real testing comes in. Figuring out where to get the information from and how best to analyze it. That's my best BI tool advice. Anybody can make a dashboard look pretty. It has to be useful too. In general, I would rate the solution seven out of ten.

If your data source is a Microsoft-based data source, this is the best choice. If you have a data source that is not Microsoft-based and is on a non-Microsoft platform, such as MongoDB or Unix, you should see some solutions like MicroStrategy or Qlik. If you have a pure 100% Microsoft-based data source, Microsoft Power BI is the answer. You can do wonders with Microsoft Power BI. It is a very cool solution. I would rate Microsoft Power BI a nine out of ten.

I would advise those thinking about implementing the solution to compare different products to see what is on the market. They have to look at the pricing which is what we looked at initially, I think it quite affordable. Additionally, research the infrastructure that is required and the cost per user for the different BI solutions. Some of the solutions are cheap, such as Eclipse BIRT and Knowage, but it takes a lot of efforts to get your reports out with them. With this solution, it is more of a drag and drop scenario. You have a quicker delivery time as compared to the traditional or the older BI solutions. The biggest lesson I have learned with working with this solution has been in the area of data warehousing, you should develop something that is more like a star schema when building a BI solution, especially with this solution. It makes things much easier. We did not favour the star schema, we preferred the snowflake approach. However, data modelling is easier when you use the star schema. I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

I would definitely recommend Power BI from a visualization perspective. It's quick and easy to set up and scales up very well. If you've been using data on Excel sheets and converting them to graphs on PowerPoint, I think this is a tool that gives you almost a live visualization of what your operations are. We use it for our day-to-day IT operations. I'm sure it can also be used to visualize other data like how many clients, how clients build up weekly, and the various stages of transitioning client needs into services. These things can be very easily developed on our Microsoft BI dashboard. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft BI an eight.

It's very important to have a very good data scientist, without that it's very difficult. It's a key requirement. I'm only unhappy with the Windows software. I'm a Mac user for over 20 years, and, in comparison, Windows is bad. For us, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, IBM are not affordable. They're interested in larger companies. In the last few years, Microsoft seems to be happier to go for the smaller companies too. I would rate this solution a nine out of 10.

If you are planning on implementing Microsoft BI, having experience with other Microsoft products will make using this solution easy and straightforward. I rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

You have to know what you want to accomplish, meaning that you have to know why you are using the solution, what kind of information you want to show in that solution and the location of the data. I would rate this solution 9 out of 10.

I'm using the calculator version of the solution. We use both the cloud and on-premises deployment models. We are Microsoft partners. We're not just users. Overall, I would recommend the solution. We do have other plans to use other BI solutions, however, we haven't really focused on that just yet. So far, this product has met our needs pretty well. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate the solution at a nine. We've largely been happy with the product and its offering.

May is the next time I'll be teaching the data analytics class, the graduate class, and I will be actively trying to promote Power BI for the team project. I would rate Microsoft Power BI an eight out of ten.

I primarily use Microsoft BI for integration, so it is difficult for me to say what needs to be improved. Overall, this is a good tool and I recommend it. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

The first piece of advice is to become very clear about licensing and the data governors. Always get the licenses and get them right. You must also be clear about who is going to control these accesses. The second piece of advice is to understand a lot about the low-level security to create profiles and data access features to allow the specific data to be seen only by a specific public. Currently, in my organization, the greatest challenge is getting proper licensing. We have a little bit of resistance from our IT department who would like us to use Tableau more. It is not Microsoft's problem. It has more to do with the vendor of choice of the company, and they say that we have to use Tableau, but I don't want to use Tableau. I would rate this solution a ten out of ten. It deserves this rating.

I would definitely recommend Power BI for those entities that are not complex. Unless and until there is a very high volume to be handled, I believe Microsoft Power BI is the best solution to go for, particularly when somebody buys a stack of Microsoft products, which includes Office, SharePoint, and so on. The whole Microsoft Office Suite is a brilliant product in its entirety, and there is good and easy integration with SharePoint, etc. This is a nice feature that other products don't have. There is a stack of IBM as well, but it is not as good as Microsoft. I would rate Microsoft BI an eight out of ten. I am pretty happy with this solution, and the two points are down because of the performance issue and probably the cost.

I would give Microsoft BI a 10 out of 10.

Every month Microsoft puts in another update. We are likely to use Microsoft BI in future projects. Microsoft BI does not fit every business case, so for that reason, I would give it an eight out of 10.

I would absolutely recommend this solution to other interested companies. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Microsoft BI a rating of eight.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with Microsoft. I'm not sure which version of the solution we are using. It may be the latest. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at an eight. We've been pretty happy with it, even though it is quite new to us.

My advice for anybody who is considering this tool is that if you want to move to a self-service BI, this is probably the best tool available right now. The self-service is pretty good in terms of os user acceptance, usage, and simplicity. It is something that everybody wants and Power BI does really well in that area. The biggest lesson that I have learned from using Power BI is that if the data is not according to what you want, that really isn't a problem. It has been a problem in the past, especially where the data is not in the form or the shape that you need, but with Power BI, that problem can be solved very easily. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

My advice for anybody interested in using Microsoft BI is to set up the desktop version. It's good to start off with, it's easy to learn, and they get the trial period for the BI service. Then, once they're done with the trial period, I think the licensing per month is quite affordable. In summary, this is a good solution. It is not perfect, although if they added audio, emojis, and more types of graphs, then it would be. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

In a nutshell, I recommend this product and I would suggest implementing it. It has a very good range of features that it offers. For organizations starting on their business intelligence journey, I believe Power BI is a very good tool to start with. It's very user-friendly and it provides a graphical user interface where users can just drag and drop their required fields into particular templates of visualizations. It means that you get the charts quickly. There's no complex learning curve involved. From that perspective, I would say that it's definitely worth a try. My biggest complaint is that it's a bit limited right now, in terms of the choice of visualizations it offers. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

I would rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

I would recommend this solution, especially for the companies that mostly use Microsoft products and ecosystem. I would rate Microsoft BI a seven out of ten.

Ensure that you use Sharepoint. If you are within the Microsoft system and want to have a similar experience to Microsoft Teams, then Microsoft Power BI is a very good solution for that. I would like to have the ability to run the scheduled refresh for R and Python on the server. Right now, it's not possible. I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Microsoft Power BI is definitely a good product and Microsoft has a good integration of a good suite of products across the range. I think if you take UI parts recent release, for example, I'm not sure that does it with Power BI but it definitely integrates it across the Microsoft Office activities, so I think it's only a matter of time before a majority of the Microsoft Office products start integrating with UI parts. That would take analysis, reporting, and automation to the next level and we could free up time for the general reporter. I would rate this solution as seven out of ten because it's easy to use and there is a lot of support online. I think Microsoft Office itself has a lot of support being provided. In addition, I like its features and it's growing much faster than some of the other analytical tools out there, although it started off later.

It is important to say that the information cannot be confidential or secret. This is because the platform processes all data from the Microsoft cloud and you have to be certain of the security issues that someone could face if a security breach happens. I very much recommend the free trial mode.

Because this solution is very easy, and very visual, you can have results in minutes.

It is a solution that is easy for developers to be hands-on, even if they do not have prior experience with it. It is quite easy to learn.

It depends on how you're going to use the reports, but when looking into this product or similar solutions, check the security side of things. If you don't want to share information with everyone, how does it deal with that? So far, it's one of the best reporting tools I've found. They are improving the product every month. I would rate it at eight out of 10. The two missing points are to see what comes out in the future.

Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: * Price * Ability to go on the Internet and locate support information. * Secure product * Easy interface to use.

I would recommend this solution to another user. We are not dealing the vendor. We are using it directly from Microsoft as part of Office 365.

I would recommend Power BI as the best working solution. Most important criteria when selecting a vendor: Usability of the solution.

I rate it a nine out of 10 because it's very cost-effective, so it's very accessible in that respect, and a lot of folks do use spreadsheets so it helps ease the transition from using just spreadsheets to a more mature reporting environment. My advice is, speak to your users because, at the end of the day, if they don't use it, you've failed, which was the case with other reporting tools.

Our most important criteria when selecting a vendor are cost, cost, and cost. I rate Microsoft BI at seven out of 10 and that's because I have not utilized it as much as I would have liked to. However, it is very well integrated with other Microsoft products, including PowerApps and Excel, as well as Access, so it fits well into our workflow. Consider very carefully what your requirements are and plan your projects well. This is a wonderful tool but it will not get the work done for you.
