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 offers only a limited selection of native tools. For more advanced visualizations, you often need to rely on external add-ons, which can incur extra costs. Expanding the range of built-in tools for both data visualization and data entry within the platform would be extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing else matches its flexibility, whether it’s the range of data visualizations or the sheer number of external data sources you can connect. On top of that, building dashboards and creating adaptable report structures is not only straightforward but also enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Don’t be confused that power BI and power BI embedded are the same thing. Power BI embedded is a completely different animal. If you are an ISV trying to use power BI to showcase, interactive visualizations, you are going to want a strong command of your power BI environment and some development chops. I’m struggling to find contractors with PowerBI Embedded expertise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The level of in depth reporting that Power BI provides is astounding. The customisation options and the ability view specific and broad data is incredible, making management and reporting super easy. The easy of integrating it with other systems as well means it’s a perfect tool to use daily with pre existing systems. Setting it up in general is easy as well which makes it a breeze.

I use Microsoft Power BI to visualize data and build dashboards that help track performance and identify trends, making it easier to understand data at a glance. One of the aspects I like most about Power BI is its interactive dashboards and drill-down capabilities. I can click on any chart or data point and instantly see deeper insights without creating separate reports, which accelerates analysis, makes it more dynamic, and simplifies understanding, especially when I need to explain trends or breakdowns to others. The drill-down features are particularly valuable as they allow me to explore data at multiple levels and understand the reasons behind the numbers. I also value Power Query for its streamlined and user-friendly data transformation capabilities, which is one of the key reasons my team switched from Pentaho to Power BI. The setup process was simple, and connecting data sources with Power BI Desktop was quick. Overall, the combination of interactive dashboards, Power Query, and DAX makes Power BI a great tool for analytics. I would rate it 9 out of 10 due to its powerful features and ease of use once you get the flow. 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.

One thing I dislike about Power BI is that some of the more advanced features and custom visuals can have a steep learning curve, which may require extra time and training to fully master. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
