Power BI Sales tracking

What do you like best? Power BI can categorize your sales by different age groups, membership types and different dates. What do you dislike? It it automatically refreshed twice a day which could be more so that we can keep up more efficiently with data. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Able to understand where we are lacking in sales and what demographic group we need to focus on.

Great interactive BI platform

What do you like best? The ease of use and simplicity as well as the power in being able to connect to whatever data source and the fast processes, added to that the interactive charts. Added to all what mentioned above the capability to create measures in a very simple way, create even custom charts using Javascript or Python for that.

Excellent for data analysis.

What do you like best? What I like most is the ability to connect to nearly all data sources. The graph or slicer interactions give a better and more professional look and experience. Another excellent feature of PBI is the ability to share your data with others and to cooperate.xx What do you dislike? You should work together for the free version. Many graphs are sluggish, depending on the tables ' relationships. Recommendations to others considering the product: Purchase a ...

Is transforming our access to analytics.

What do you like best? I like the opinions and the responses to customer requests very much. Specific approaches try to determine what consumers of visualizations should use instead of showing them what they want. It's finished on the market with no developers to wait. What do you dislike? It's not as easy or seamless to combine data sets from different sources. Recommendations to others considering the product: Get the top managers to get away quickly. If you roll slowly, you ...

Great analytics tool with a lot of features

What do you like best? In my opinion, Microsoft Power BI is one of the best analytics tools, since it incorporates many features and is fully integrated with Microsoft products. It is super easy to export date from Excel to Power BI and then export visualized data into PowerPoint. What do you dislike? I dislike that Microsoft Power BI can not handle Big Data well. There were a number of occasions, where I could not load data because of its size. I think that further improvement is ...

Flexible & powerful tool

What do you like best? Powerful & versatile tool with good drill-down features. Enables user to easily produce quality business MI on a regular basis with minimal effort (once set up), and export underlying data into excel to investigate hotspots. Allows our MI team to create the main reports, but I can still use the system to interrogate the available data tables for ad-hoc needs, and draft ideas out for inclusion in the standard suite. What do you dislike? Initial setup can be quote ...

Cheap as chips. What do you dislike? The software can be slow sometimes when using complex calculations. Most new functions are for premium license, which might be expensive for smaller companies. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Dynamic and ...

Dive into Analytics with Power BI

What do you like best? Power BI is a powerful cloud-based application, similar to data visualization tool of oracle. It comes with 180 days of free trial. As it is a self-service tool like DV. Other than that, it also has provisions for making multiple connections through various sources. What do you dislike? Personally, I feel the interface is quite rigid and difficult to understand for creating columns. It is not very intuitive when it comes to creating columns. Also, I feel the UI ...
