Microsoft Power BI reviews

Cross database en andere bronnen snel samen voegen

Enige kennis van formules nodig en liefst Visual Basic programmering in kennis hebben is een must voor deze software goed te kunnen gebruiken

Zeer aangenaam product om visueel aangeven van gegevens en data

Soms moelijk om data te uploaden. Eist enige ervaring tot je onder handen hebt.

Very flexible tool with various types of data visualization. It resemblance to Excel allows advanced users from Excel to easily migrate to this new tool.

The tool have many complications regarding publishing of dashboards and we need to pay extra money just for the creation of market spaces where we can share the reports and dashboards.

Capability to Extract, Transform data at the desktop level in a single package. (Others solutions like have Data transformation feature inbuilt)

On publishing your report online, it gets slightly cumbersome to configure through (like configuring gateways for auto-refresh)

The DAX formula language available in Power BI is handy for all users to create measures with calculated columns. Also performing complex calculations and aggregations on our data is very uncomplicated.

Although Power BI is useful for performing complex calculations, sometimes users may experience slow loading times or take long time to refresh data, particularly when working with detailed information models or complex queries.

I like the intuitive user interface and the ability to work with data files too large for spreadsheets or desktop-quality data bases. Power BI is great for creating summary reports in large inventory data bases, which is what I work with mostly.

There is no easy way to export the summary reports from Power BI. You can only export the raw data that generated the report, which is often too large to export directly.

PowerBI enables users to connect to a wide range of data sources and generate visually beautiful visuals that bring data to life and make it easier to comprehend. The programme is also extremely customisable, allowing customers to design dashboards and reports that are tailored to their individual requirements. PowerBI's mobile capability and connection with Microsoft products like as Excel make it an excellent alternative for enterprises that require on-the-go data access and interaction. Furthermore, PowerBI's AI and machine learning features enable users to quickly uncover insights and trends in their data, making it a useful tool for businesses of all sizes.

PowerBI has a steep learning curve, making it difficult for new users to rapidly become acquainted with the product. For some users, particularly those new to business intelligence and data analysis, this might be a barrier to entrance. Because PowerBI lacks a powerful data preparation tool, users may find it difficult to clean, process, and prepare their data for analysis. This might be a disadvantage for those that require more complex data preparation operations.

Its really easy import data from multiple sources, including other platforms or excel files for example. And in a couple of minutes you are developing powerful visualizations by drag and drop and gaining insight about your data.

Sometimes the sintax for advance queries is confused because two query languages coexist in the same tool. In addition the customization to have nice visualization and customer oriented design is really tricky.

The main advantage of the tool is drag and drop functionality. It has a user-friendly interface. Using Power BI, we can easily publish and share the data with our team members. It supports Excel, SQL, and CSV data sources.

Sometimes Power BI takes more time to load the data. It allows only 2GB of data at a time to upload. Advance level reporting needs some technical knowledge.

This is a good system to use, as I can use it for keeping on eye on when I can put charges through using the revenue report

I would have preferred to have had access to this system sooner but I have got the hang of how to use it now

I have used this tool few times for analyze and visualize data from different sources. This has a good user journey and easy navigations. Our team was able to get insights through various charts and reports and make decisions based on analyzing the data. This supports in web and android and iOs apps.

There is a learning curve for the new beginners.

Ease of use and the product was super easy to navigate

setup wasnt that easy and not a lot of overview on how to setup.

The dashboard creation is amazing. Give it a data source, design how you want to see your data, and it shows it to you. I enjoy creating dashboards for our different departments. And once our staff sees the reports and dashboards they get from this, vs how they used to get it in an Excel spreadsheet or an Access Report, they are hooked.

Overwhelming in the back end. Sometimes you just cannot get the data to display the way you want. There are so many options, features, methods. It gets overwhelming. My biggest gripe is that the back end is not as user friendly as other programs. And, comparing it to something that one of my users would create in Excel, it's difficult for me to get the exact data reported that they want. I have to figure out how to display it, and because the Power Bi is just so robust, it's a little overwhelming in that respect.

High end accurate data visualization and its easy and comprehensive reporting to management AI and ML driven data insights for better business decision making in holistic manner. The quick and accurate data insights helps businesses to scale and expand with good operating efficiency.It is available for both web and Mobile data visualization work and is quite comprehensive in providing output.We have recently started with Data Discovery and predictive and embedded analytics for high end data analysis of complex data inputs in easy and flawless way.

No hassle with the software as its one of the best and keep improving their features time to time. Also, we would only request for slight reduction of sign up and annual renewal costing as its on higher end and bit difficult for small and marginal organizations to continue with long term engagement due to burden of expense

The interface is beautiful and easy to navigate. Once data sources are all connected, it's pretty easy to create a new dashboard/layout if you know how to analyze your own data. Nearly every integration that we needed was already included.

It's hard to build some more complex reports. If you want to combine two different data sources into one view/metric, you will need some advanced skills.

The ease of use and wide range of data sources is fantastic, and allows for complete customisation.

Unless you're willing to pay the premium license, unfortunately you are restricted to a maximum of data refreshing every hour.

What I’ve enjoy about using Power BI is that have simplified the process of creating and sharing reports. It’s a very helpful tool to visualize data, and you can connected with several data sources like Excel, SQL and Access. You can share a report via link and you can choose the option that works best for you, like if, everyone that have the link can access to the report or some specific people. The people that have access can view and interact with the report but not modify it. An interesting and helpful feature is mobile layout view. You can create views of reports adapted to mobiles. I learned to create dashboards in Power BI by myself, there’s no need of a full training before start using this tool.

Something that had me struggling is that the data source must be as simple and clean as it could be or it may present execution issues. It often shows running issues for certain inquiries.

The visualizations you can make with minimal experience or effort are astounding. Like with many Microsoft products, the sky is the limit and you can definitely get by without formal training. But if you decide to learn more about it, there is very little you can't do visualization-wise. We can even connect our on-prem SQL database with ease.

While it is easy to get started, really mastering the program can take some time and trial-and-error. It can be frustrating at times to get it to do exactly what you want it to do.

powerbi is easy to use and drag and drop data, import and export is easy and little training required for team members

improved connections to different data sets and import of different database types will be more helpful

It's free version is very powerful. We can create any report we need, has a lot of data sources and even can create subscription for sending the reports automatically.

So far, the only issue I have found is when there are relation on different conditons for the same visual. It can separate and is hard to achive the result.

Near-constant updates and feature additions. It's exceptionally easy to throw together a Power BI Report across a bunch of different data sources and then share it with 1 or 100 people. Tons of connectivity support - if you have data somewhere it can *probably* read it into a model for consumption. The "front end" development is pretty straightforward with the ability to get very fancy with custom visuals - although you need to be a real developer to build those yourself.

It feels like there are some (currently) missing enterprise features. We still haven't really figured out a holistic way of managing both the enterprise stuff, as well as the "power user" self service stuff that gets published around the org. To Microsoft's credit, there are pretty much monthly releases that add ne functionality and features. Some things I'd like to see include more API support and additional sources like Box, perhaps.

I have been using Microsoft Power BI for about six months now, and I am really impressed with the features. It has an intuitive user interface, which makes it easy to create visuals and analyze data. The software has powerful reporting and analytics capabilities, with the ability to connect to a wide variety of data sources. It also offers an impressive range of chart types, including bar graphs, line charts, and scatter plots. What I like best is the ability to drill down into the data and uncover new insights. I especially appreciate the ability to create custom dashboards and share them with colleagues. Overall, I am very satisfied with Microsoft Power BI, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, feature-rich analytics and reporting solution

Power BI is a useful tool for data visualization and analysis, however, the export feature is clunky and time-consuming. Additionally, there are limited options for customizing visuals, such as adding animation or customizing colors. Integrating Power BI with existing business is usually easy, though connecting to certain web services and cloud-based applications can be difficult.

It is so easy to use once you understand the premise of it. We have super users that create functional dashboards so that anyone can go in and get real-time updates without having to rewrite queries. We use this for our daily sales reporting and it lets you drill down and really understand the numbers.

It was a little intimidating to use at the start as there is so much functionality. Once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense. Just take your time to learn and focus on one aspect at a time and it will all make perfect sense.

Microsoft Power BI is a powerful tool for business analytics, offering a diverse range of features such as data visualization, modeling, and analysis. Its user-friendly interface, wide selection of data connectors, and ability to handle large volumes of data are some of the reasons why I appreciate it. Additionally, value its flexibility in terms of customization and integration with other Microsoft products

Sometimes this power bi desktop is not responding when the data is loading.

Power BI is great especially with data analytics and visualization. This is usually very informative especially to the senior management when creating dashboard and data summaries. For example, Its specifically important in monitoring budget and expenditure data. The most important advantage of Power Bi is how it can easily summarize, transform and visualize data through summaries and dash board reports. In addition Power BI delivers real-time reports especially when linked with production of the data. It both accessible on computer and mobile. It is also very easy to integrate with excel and other data storing softwares.

It is somehow technical especially when writing DAX scripts and when linking several tables for relationships. Since its mainly used for Dashboards and visualizations, the presentations can be crowded considering a lot of information is supposed to be squeezed on one page. Power BI also requires complex formulas in DAX which sometimes can give wrong results from expected. It also takes a lot of time to prepare data and create visuals.
