Enables customers to build their own reports, but performance could be better
The most important criterion when selecting a vendor is reliability. I would give this solution a seven out of 10. It does some good stuff, but there needs to be more performance. Make sure that you have really good people working on the server administration, to make sure you're doing it right, the setup is right.

Microsoft Power BI has many features and there is not a lot to improve. However, the licensing can be confusing. When deciding between Pro and Premium, I find it difficult to distinguish what features are offered by Pro and what features are offered by Premium, including the particular differences to choose between both licensing models. Additionally, some features such as DAX, which I mentioned previously, involve DAX calculations and complex data modeling, which are somewhat advanced and not easily understandable. Prior knowledge is required or you need to go through the documentation. If the documentation is made comprehensive so that anyone with no knowledge on DAX can easily use it by going through the documentation, it would be really helpful. Additionally, if the integration with non-Microsoft tools is improved and performance is optimized, then Microsoft Power BI can become a top-ranked visualization tool. The user experience with Microsoft Power BI is quite good. The intuitive user interface makes it easy for both technical and non-technical users to create reports. However, only the advanced features are somewhat complex, and if the documentation is improved, it can be easily accessible.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"A must have for the business looking to understand their processes in an easy to consume way"
"Rapid development and deployment of solutions with low-cost server-based licensing is attractive in high user count environments."
"Self-service reporting modules allow customers to build their own reports."
"People really like the way the reports look, there are lots of fancy bells and whistles on the report designer."
"Its connectivity with other Office applications, mostly with Excel, and the ability to deploy it very easily are the most valuable features. It comes sort of bundled with the cloud, so you don't need to set up a server and a standalone infrastructure. So, getting into the system or building something that you can deploy is very easy and very cheap. With other systems, you need to have a server, and you need to have a license for the server. The initial setup is very costly."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources."
"The customization and management are very easy, and we have found that the reporting and publishing are great."
"For example, I recently migrated an application from TeraData to SQL Server and the response times for some functions were cut down from 90 seconds to about less than 1 second!"
"The solution is easy to use."
"It has provided customer purchase patterns and great visualization."
"We have found the solution to be stable."
"The product is intuitive and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Performance dependant on back-end much more than some other toolsets."
"The only feature I would like to see at this point is a normalized curve for Histograms"
"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"Spatial data support should be enhanced."
"The solution is not really stable. I've faced a lot of limitations especially in terms of some data flows updates."
"The upgrade process could be improved."
"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool."
"The paginated report functionality, which was intended to replace SPSS, is not yet up to the mark."
"Microsoft BI's visualization could be better. Though Power BI's visualization has steadily improved over the years, it's not on the level tools like Tableau and SAS or some of the more expensive products on the market."
"The Microsoft technical support is not great. You need to have a partner in place that's able to handle these services for you."
"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"It is part of our Office 365 license."
"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."
"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."
"Microsoft BI is not expensive. Compared to the price of other BI products, the price is very fair."
"Its pricing is great."
"The pricing for the solution is relatively higher compared to other alternatives."
"Both cost-wise and implementation-wise, this product is a good choice."
"The premium licensing is approximately $5,000 per month which is pretty expensive."
