Pros/Cons
Pros
- It is also excellent all the integrations you can do with systems, the cloud, etc. The data transformation module I find wonderful how fast it is, even with large amounts of information.
- Having switched from excel recently, Microsoft Power BI has been of great help. Having good visuals for data is a plus to us as an organization for they help do comparisons at a glance.
- It has a lot of powerful features and potentials in showing data and making nice graphs/tables to show the facts/numbers that you want. It works way better and is way more efficient than Excel.
Cons
- Additionally, there are times that my computer struggles to keep up with the program causing it to become non-responsive or crash.
- The dashboards and reports are limited in visual design, so they all look the same and quite ugly.
- Some find it too complicated to use and are intimidated by the format. I have not been able to find training for management on how to use a report that someone else with PowerBI skills created.
Pros
- Also is good subscription by email (or other methods) and great to use python to create some sophisticated analysis.
- Very easy to use, set up and organize. Their charting and reporting tools are super powerful, and generate great dashboards and reports.
- I love how easy it is to create charts and diagrams from the data to make it easier to explain to others. I love the power that comes with being able to write your own SQL queries.
Cons
- Nothing in particular sticks out as something that is very bad.
- Once logging into the database, it can be fairly difficult to use. It's has a very dark user interface which is hard to navigate.
- I find it sometimes confusing to navigate and find reports.
