“Power Query is particularly useful for cleaning and transforming data, while the visualization and filtering tools make reports practical for both detailed analysis and management presentations.”
FD

Félix D.

Designer

“It has helped me replace several manual reporting steps and made information easier to explore through filters and interactive dashboards. Although advanced modeling takes time to master, Power BI is a powerful and valuable reporting tool.”

Cons

“The cube builds fail a lot when there is heavy data loads.”
ES

Eugene S.

Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder

“The customer service and after sales support is very poor, to the point of considering moving away.”
KL

Kenny L.

Commercial Director

“It’s too clumpy in that not user friendly”

Cons

“Performance can also become an issue with large datasets; once your model grows beyond a certain size, you start hitting refresh timeouts and slow visual rendering unless you invest time in optimization(aggregations, composite models).”
CA

Charumathi A.

Data Engineer

“Advanced features such as DAX formulas and data modeling have a steep learning curve and can be difficult for beginners to master.”
