Flexible Tool for Data Reporting
Easy to pick up. Once a template is made, it's easy to teach low IT literate colleagues how to use the tool.
CONSThe free version does not allow for sharing and account specific data visualization.

Very Powerful but not for the faint hearted
We have been rolling it out throughout the company over the past 1.5 years. It's been a journey with highs and lows but the overall result is amazing.
PROSIt has such a broad set of features and possibilities. It's customisation abilities and close relationship with the power platform makes it a very useful tool.
CONSComplexity - To make it sing and dance you need dedicated skills due to the size and complexity of the product. We have someone in-house full time working on PBI. I'm often asked by smaller teams if they should use it and I often advise against it unless they have the skills internally to make it work. Can be difficult to find reports - For end users, once you have a lot of reports, it can be difficult for them to locate them or to know where to go to get specific data. Updates - MS roll out monthly updates and often make changes to menus and options which doesn't make sense. This can be quite frustrating if your not using the product every week.

Feedback on using Microsoft Power BI
I am happy with using this product for my reporting.
PROSThe graph function and the tabular format of expressing the data is the best.
CONSThe refresh time of the reporting can be improved. Once or twice a day is not ideal, when thousands of transactions are going through in single day.

Power BI will transform the traditional way of reporting.
Power BI is a good reportiogn tool but when we have found Phocas reporting software we have discontinued Power BI as the features are very nice in Phocas than compared to Pwer BI
PROSEasy Creation and Customisable dashboards, It is easy to integrate wtih many ERP systems.
CONSNew users needs extensive training to get used with PBI. Especially importing data from PBI is a task and time consuming. We cannot easily get data out from PBI in Excel as it shows on screen.
Reason for choosing Microsoft Power BI
We have discontinued usign Power BI, and moved to Phocas Software as the usage and dashboards are excellent than compared to PBI. PBI reporting is not easy for new learners. it takes time to understand PBI and its options,
