Microsoft Power BI vs Solver: Which is best for you?

Power BI provides good value with easy-to-use dashboards, rapid deployment, and a clean UI that enables our editors to view submission patterns, reviewer response time, and publication schedules with little training investment.

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.

I really enjoy Solver, and it has helped tremendously with my organization's annual budget planning process.

There are plenty of times when a simple data error causes something not work.
