SM Sourabh M. Senior Recruiting Coordinator Human Resources Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/9/2025 "Makes Data Analysis Simple" 5/5 What do you like best about Microsoft Power BI? I like that Power BI is very easy to use and doesn’t take much effort to set up. It has a lot of helpful features, the visuals are clean, and it connects smoothly with different data sources. I use it regularly because it makes reporting simple, and whenever I need help, the support and online resources make it easy to figure things out. Overall, it fits well into my workflow and makes data analysis faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Microsoft Power BI? Sometimes some reports take a little longer to load, and a few advanced features can feel a bit complicated at first. Apart from that, it works well overall and doesn’t cause many issues.
