What do you dislike?

PowerBI Desktop is clunky and dysfunctional. (Why am I on the freaking desktop anyways? It's the cloud era.) It constantly throws errors and has an inexplicable permissions system. Also it fails to inform the user why errors are occurring and how to resolve them. Its refresh cycle is a joke (2 hours?) and control over report layout is limited. Its tables and matrixes are badly designed, not able to render rows and columns intuitively. This product was clearly made offshore. Every element of the UI and architecture screams "second rate".

Connectivity is the only thing going for this heap.

Look for the pure-cloud BI tools, skip this desktop dinosaur.

What do you dislike?

Security or any restrictions has to be build in BI itself. It does not take existing user access or permissions from the database. Rebuilding the entire security structure is tedious. Also the row level security feature provided by BI sometimes does not allow users to see any data. It has some sort of glitch. In order to have a real time update, I need to install MS Embedded and Azure in addition to Power BI. I cannot filter the results in slicer. i.e. Power BI does not allow the slicer to show only the last 5 years by default and then allow the user to select remaining years.

Its very user friendly. Any person without much knowledge of writing queries can build them in Power BI. Very impressive graphs. Drill down functionality is provided. I like the part wherein we can see the actual data that makes the graph. So if we have some discrepancy in data, it is easy to see which data is causing the discrepancy. Any upgrade or changes to the query can be done pretty easily . Also a change in the data source can be done at one point and all graphs will be updated automatically. It is easy to integrate into any iframe. This software is great for any company which needs data refreshed once in a couple of hours. Its easy to display the dashboards on large monitors. Each graph itself can be magnified and displayed.
