Management loves it, I love developing with it but getting certain others to adopt it can be a bit of a challenge.

As the title says, it turns ugly numbers into pretty pictures. It is easy enough for a non-developer to use and turn a mess of data into an intelligent and understandable story.

It literally changes every three months. You just get used to it and with the next update a lot has changed. I don't really see this as a con though because this is more like a Christmas present waiting to see what they will have made better this go around.

In general it has been good, there is plenty of documentation available online from creating visuals to advance functions using measures.

The flexibility to create dashboards and reports with a range of visuals.

The license model is slightly confusing and difficult to make reports for external customers to view.

i love the options, the ease of use once you have the data

we are limited to our developers. the downside is that i am sure it can do so much more, but we can't get it there unless you have the right people executing.

MS Power BI has been a wonderful asset for our data side. We use it for all kinds of things from putting together a basic report for a presentation to designing dashboards with a dozen KPIs all being synced in realtime. It's hugely powerful and maintains good performance even with large data sets. 10/10 would recommend.

We used to be on Excel which was pretty good by itself, but Power BI takes it to a whole another level. It has tons of advanced features like better data connectors, embedded reports, better dashboards and worklows, the ability to handle bigger data, and more.

It would be good to have more dashboard and report templates to work off of, and we've had issues with cloud syncing in the past that caused us a lot of headache.
