What do you dislike?

Limited distribution for on-prem solutions. They just release a feature update where you can integrate dashboards into your SharePoint sites. The downside is with licensing, you have to have a Pro license in order to drill down into the dashboards. At $9.99/month/user it can add up when you need 500+ people to look at things like KPI or P&L reports. Overtime I think the development of the product will make it easier to work around this. Customization of the dashboards are limited, you can't add your company logo or branding like you can with SSRS.

Power BI Desktop is free to use and learn when getting started. It supports up to 70+ data sources, monthly feature updates, and bi-weekly patches. Microsoft is taking feedback from the community and incorporating that feedback into the product. Anyone can download Power BI Desktop and start working with it for free. Sharing dashboards and deliverables will require a Pro license.

The direct competitor to Power BI is Tableau. Power BI is free to check out so you don't have to be tied to any trail or demo periods. I would download it and give it a spin.

What do you dislike?

As other reviews have stated, it is not easily shareable. For our purposes, each analyst has their own copies of analytic dashboards and we have to make special versions with pre-loaded data if we need to present out.

Also, while it is very nice that they keep adding features, as our developers incorporate new functions, all users have to individually update their Desktpop BI. We're approaching 90 analysts so this is becoming cumbersome even if it only takes a couple of minutes.

For our purposes Power BI has been a great tool and an excellent introduction to BI in general but it does belong in the Self-Service category for now until it is more enterprise-friendly to compete with big boys.

What do you like best?

We had made several attempts at incorporating BI visualizations into our analysis but Tableau was out of our reach and SAS BI was too complex for the majority of our users. For us then, Power BI was eyeopening because it connected to all of our data sources and within weeks we were using the drill-down functionality to do visual analysis that we weren't previously capable of.

There is complexity and we have a couple of developers who dedicated themselves to learning the specifics and intracacies of DAX code and whom regularly download the latest updates to say current but for most users it is pretty straight forward.

What do you dislike?

Less flexibility than Excel with creating tables

What do you like best?

Easy to manipulate data and visualize trends

What do you dislike?

This software's formulas are a very different language than Excel, which means a complicated, difficult learning curve. It really takes time to adjust to and it is easy to mess up and "break" queries.

What do you like best?

Microsoft Power BI offers an extreme breadth and depth of analysis options. This software offers simplified data visualization with accessible, beautiful charts and graphics. Dashboard tiles are easily shared, adjusted and changed.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Attend a Dashboard in a Day workshop (hosted by Microsoft) and learn everything needed to get up and running with Microsoft Power BI in no time.

What do you dislike?

The product still seems so disjointed and incomplete. It is disjointed because you can do many features within Power BI desktop, but you still need to login to Power BI service in order to do simple tasks such as share a dashboard or report add row level security. While it is nice the product receives monthly updates, it is still lacking in many features. The interface still looks like it is from Office 2010 and does not have a modern interface. There is no way to easily choose a theme for your project. You either use the dull default theme or have to find/code a JSON file to bring to customize the theme for your project. There are still areas where you will need to use some DAX code to complete a task, however that seems to be minimizing more and more with each update. Another downfall of the product is that it is not updated through Windows update. In order to update the file, you are notified in small text in the lower right-hand corner of the software. From there you are directed to the Power BI website to download the new version of the software. Another pitfall is you are unable to combine static information and live (direct query) information together.

What do you like best?

The Power BI tool provides an easy method to create reports and dashboards to visualize your data. This allows you to present your data in a way that the raw data cannot, especially to those who need a graph or other visualization to understand the information. Also, you have the ability to use either static information or link to a server to provide live data through direct query.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Power BI Desktop provides many useful tools and features. However, it is not a finished product as it is being updated constantly. While it is great to have new features added on a regular basis, it is also frustrating to work with a software that is constantly in flux and incomplete.

What do you dislike?

Still a very new program that is rolling out updates often, there are still some functionality that is missing or does not work as easily as I would like. My least favorite from a user experience point of view is having to right click to drill down through reports and dashboards while double clicking is much more intuitive to the user.

What do you like best?

It was very easy to take data from other Microsoft sources including SQL, Excel, Access, and more and manipulate and present data in exciting ways.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Our IT chose Power BI because of the cost when included with a enterprise level 365 accounts compared to prices of other tools. The other popular BI tools are probably ahead of Power BI now but they will not be for long.

What do you dislike?

It's not as mature as Tableau but it's already surpassed it in functionality.

What do you like best?

The intuitiveness of Power BI gives Tableau a run for their money. You don't need separate software to share to other users, it integrates with Office365. The developers are very responsive to feedback.

What do you dislike?

Not easily shared with people outside of organization. It is also a bit strange navigating the desktop version and the online version and when to use each.

What do you like best?

Easy to use with graphs that look much more polished than Excel. Graphs are far easier to set up than excel.

This product is really cool way to visualize your data. It has many options for customization, which makes it very versatile. For me, the ability to upload mapping tables to combine multiple data sets is a big help.
