Intuitive Data Visualization In Microsoft Power BI
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
We used Microsoft Power BI to combine data from multiple sources. To load, refresh, and add new visuals, it is quick and straightforward to visualize the data. Microsoft Excel reports have been converted to Power BI reports. Creating a dashboard can be streamlined to save a significant amount of time. Easy sharing of the dashboard with access logs, and the tool can track detailed usage statistics. Keeping track of projects, milestones, and areas that have been completed makes it simple to plan meetings.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Our company uses Microsoft Power BI to visualize and transform data. We had to spend a lot of time maintaining Excel files because they were unreliable. Power BI has two outstanding features: the ability to create dashboards and access them from any location. Power BI is installed in every department of our company, from sales to product development to finance. It analyzes customer invoice processing data and KPIs.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The backend of Microsoft Power BI isn’t as user-friendly as some other programs, but it’s still a powerful tool. Intricate procedures for creating graphs can be difficult to navigate through. The app has a lot of options that can both be appropriate and bad at the same time. Everything else about it is outstanding.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Microsoft Power BI application creates beautiful reports by combining multiple criteria. It makes it easy to filter records and color-code according to the rules.
