Perfect integration with Microsoft solutions. Ease to share with other partners.

In my opinion, it helps its users create very professional-looking and most importantly dynamic reports with stunning visuals.

In general I'm very pleased with the software and it meets the needs I need - a good opportunity to say thank you.

I have trouble connecting it to an analysis cube and making a website version.

The brightest part of Power BI for us has been the ability to create rich data driven dashboards without having to invest in an entire new platform.

The dashboards and reports are limited in visual design, so they all look the same and quite ugly.

Overall a great solution at a great price. Easy to learn, hard to master, but can deliver business benefit within hours.

This is a powerful software that makes it easy to demonstrate the data analyzing and create a fantastic view for different reports.

The PowerBI experience is excellent, especially I appreciate the integration with Office 365, also the mobile version works very easily.

Power BI is user friendly and helps the companies to present data in a beautiful way.

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.

One feature I like so much is the ability to import data from multiple sources. Also, the fact that there is a mobile version of the software makes it a wonderful choice.

It has lot of learning curve and has very limited support available on internet. Configuration is a hell.

I have always had a dislike of the methodology and training materials Microsoft subscribes to.

Power BI has been a welcome addition to our tech stack. The ability to create visual reports and quickly export them to add to presentations is a great little addition.

Amazing product, very inexpensive, great support, fantastic visualizations, great data transformation.

It’s the best for the presentation and to make the presentation more interesting.

Overall, it's a great program and solves our needs in visualizing data. With most Microsoft products, we'll be excited with future updates.

I love Power BI's ability to translate complex data into simple to understand visualizations that is helpful for making business decisions.

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.

Additionally, there are times that my computer struggles to keep up with the program causing it to become non-responsive or crash.

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.

The best feature that Power BI has to deliver, in my view, is its visuals. Charts and diagrams are also more visually appealing, which helps me communicate my messages to my friends and colleagues.

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.

Great user friendly interface, which can be overwhelming at first, but is well worth getting to grips with. There is plenty of online and community support for Power BI.

Excellent customer support. Using the power bi web dashboard is a great way to gain the visibility that you need to make this Business intelligence  valuable.

The big advantage is that the program is easy to use. Microsoft has developed some great tutorials that you can download on their site.

I like this software because I have the chance to create amazing graphics and those are dynamic.

The visuals are great and integrates excellently with other Microsoft applications. It is also very easy to deploy and work with.

This product is a great cost solution and is only getting more powerful as time goes on.

Rearranging dashboards can be a bit frustrating, and it’s web-add on EasyBI has very limiting features.

Having knowledge of Excel, it made it much easier to adopt and when I ran into trouble there was great help in the Power BI online community.

It is almost like Excel but with great visuals and scalable dashboards for quick preview into useful information.

The graphics are really nice and it makes building a report the such an easy task I loved this.

The negative thing about Power BI is that you need a lot of effort to edit the data that you have imported as a table.

No workspace feature - being able to group information by workspace. Table reports - no possibility to establish your period - no group calculation period (Quarter - Year).

We chose Plecto to build our dashboards because of the easy setup and the interactive integrations they offered.

Super visual and very quick builder. API access is great for tying multiple systems together.

Great tools for Dashboard - share figures to wider audience.

This is a terrific software if you want to create reports on any data you can think of, including phone calls, conversion rates, and so much more.

The onboarding went smoothly, and their support team is very knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful.

It's bit delayed by few seconds and sometimes a minute or two.

It is a very robust system, great for tracking analytics and having a visual display of them. A lot of customizable options.

The intuitive dashboard and multiple dataintegrations, enables you to track valueable KPI's with ease.

The ability to do gamification about most every KPI that I have in my company is absolutely great.

Easy to use, and the customer service is brilliant.

It was very hard to set up and I'm a tech savvy 25 year old.

Visibility of performance helps to drive success.

Integrating with Salesforce is tough, haven't figured it out yet.

Generally good except for the issues with integrated connectors.

Easy to use, user friendly, Customisable dashboards.

Great visualisation of sales performance completely live. Gamification helps to encourage team culture.

The support were on hand via video chat and text chat when we ran into difficulty and gave us free training sessions which was great.

Excellent visual displays can be tailored to suit our requirements - staff love it.

We would like all of our employees to se how the salesforce are performing and with Plecto it has been a success.
