I like how straightforward Power BI Connector for Salesforce makes getting Salesforce data into Power BI without requiring a separate ETL pipeline. Objects, fields, relationships, and filters can be configured directly in Salesforce before the data reaches Power BI, with SOQL available when more control is needed. Incremental refresh is particularly useful for larger datasets because it avoids repeatedly loading everything from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is still some setup involved. Installation and permissions require Salesforce administration, and incremental refresh needs a few Power Query steps, including some handling of Salesforce date/time fields. That said, the documentation is clear and walks through the configuration well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
