### Pros

"It enables me to connect to multiple data sources, clean and model data efficiently, and create interactive dashboards that allow stakeholders to monitor KPIs and identify trends in real time."

"The ability to turn complex data into actionable insights, combined with Microsoft product integrations (Excel, Sharepoint), makes it an essential tool for companies aiming to be data-driven."

"I've used RLS extensively to deliver a single report to multiple customer groups with proper data isolation, which saves a lot of development time compared to building separate reports."

### Cons

"The customizability of the charts isn't as rich as in Excel or Tableau, and you need to understand how to model the data if you're dealing with multiple datasets and build relationships between them accordingly."

"The learning curve can be challenging for new users, particularly when working with advanced DAX formulas, complex data modeling, or performance optimization."

"Additionally, performance can degrade when working with very large or complex datasets, leading to slower report rendering."
