Microsoft Power BI Reviews & Product Details

The main thing that I like about Microsoft Power BI is that how intuitive and powerful it is for turning raw data into meaningful insights with the visuals Power BI provide. Even if a person is new or not expert in Power BI, the drag and drop feature interface make it easy to create insightful dashboards with the help of bulit-in visuals.

The way of connecting to wide range of data sources like Excel, Cloud Services like Azure and Google Analytics, SQL Databases. I use it daily to track the KPIs and generate reports from the insights.

When we think about the setup of Power BI, the process is too easy. By all the tutorials and community support the leaning will be smooth and wasn't to steep.

Once you are familiar with the tool and the DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) creating dashboards becomes our daily hobby.

I also love the way that Power BI integrates with other Microsoft tools like Excel, Teams.

This is a solid tool for data analysis and visualization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Microsoft Power BI is a great tool, there are few things that could be better.

The performance of Power BI gets slow down while dealing with large datasets and complex DAX calculations. For some new users the UI feels clumsy or feels a bit cluttered at times. At some times you feel like, the basic visuals are licensed and not built-in visuals. Usually have rely on custom visuals from the marketplace. And the last thing is that licensing for PREMIUM and PRO versions feels confusing at first.

Overall, it's a solid platform, but there is definitely a room for improvement in visuals and usability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power BI newest versions (six months til now) have made some interesting improvements in DAX logic, how to create the graphic visuals so that we are more careful on what fields and measures we use and finally on how the dashboards can be refreshed (schema and data, or just either of them).

It’s still a powerful visualization tool with lots still to be learned and master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to select the queries I want to refresh. Currently, you can either update all of them at once or go one by one.

I believe it could be a significant QoL improvement to be able to select the queries, especially when developing new graphs and not wanting to go through the the whole refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lovely with it's virtuoso interface with very straightforward menus for data insertion, modelling, viewing and seamless optimization. Prowess with data transparency through many visualization options from charts to graphs. Great for data integrity by its robust security and complex calculation for effective data analytics and KPIs displayed on the dashboards which is shareable with teams and finally data intelligence from real-time data insights for making data driven decisions as a business enterprise and forecast based on past trend from the dashboards and reports.

Power BI excels in its seamless integration with Microsoft 365 and Azure services, which makes it extremely convenient to pull data from sources such as Excel, SQL Server, and SharePoint. Its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, together with robust DAX formulas, enables rapid dashboard creation and thorough data analysis. I especially value the option to schedule data refreshes and securely share reports with teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Power BI offers a wide range of features, new users may find the learning curve for advanced DAX functions and creating custom visuals to be quite steep. Performance may also suffer when handling very large datasets unless proper optimization is applied. Furthermore, the licensing model can be somewhat confusing, particularly when trying to scale the solution across larger organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Power BI has become a really handy tool for us and makes working with data feel much easier and more meaningful. We use it to bring together complex information like employee timesheets, project mapping, and hours charged, which then helps us track project-level collections and profitability. It also plays a big role in monitoring fee collections and measuring employee utilization by keeping a clear record of billable vs. non-billable hours. What I like most is how quick it is to set up, how easy it is to navigate, and how flexible the features are—whether it’s building simple reports or digging into more detailed analytics. Since it integrates smoothly with our data sources, our dashboards are always up to date, and the responsive customer support makes the experience even better. Overall, it’s become our go-to for turning raw data into clear insights we can actually act on and we almost use it on daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
