Team Lead at a government with 11-50 employees
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

"Rapid development and deployment of solutions with low-cost server-based licensing is attractive in high user count environments."
"A must have for the business looking to understand their processes in an easy to consume way"
"People really like the way the reports look, there are lots of fancy bells and whistles on the report designer."
"Self-service reporting modules allow customers to build their own reports."
"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."
"Power BI allows you to create user defined charts which is really useful."
"Being able to show them a visual of the percentages in a pie chart has been very effective."
"We initially used Tableau because our data was an internal data source, and now all of our data is migrated to tool environments, that the Power BI is more comfortable with."
"Microsoft BI allows us to connect to any database or any dataset, and it automatically renders some of the information which makes things a lot easier for us."
"If someone wants an embedded solution then Microsoft BI is very good because it works on many types of data, such as JSON."
"Our customers really like the dashboard."
"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good, it is very easy to use, you can easily make your dashboard, and there is a lot of self-help content available from a lot of different platforms, such as YouTube."
 

Cons

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."
"The only feature I would like to see at this point is a normalized curve for Histograms"
"Performance dependant on back-end much more than some other toolsets."
"In Microsoft Excel, you are able to have tabs. However, in Microsoft BI you do not have this flexibility."
"The solution could be quicker at rendering data."
"Because of performance issues and because we're unable to do all the aggregation, I rate this solution six out of 10."
"License fee structure. Mobile Reporting Services is only available for the "Enterprise" edition of SQL Server 2016."
"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."
"There needs to be more flexibility in terms of handling the data. Data computation is not very good in PowerBI."
"Microsoft needs to do some more research and development to make it more stable."
"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It needs a much lower price. They are jacking up the price every year, which is wrong."

"No comment."
"Microsoft BI requires licenses."
