The ability to filter to the specific metric we are interested in is an amazing feature.

It is a good data analytics and visualization software and its ability to import data from multiples sources is a great feature.

I find the PowerBi amazing to have an easy to navigate and attractive interface, simple to create a new panel, easy to learn, not to mention the integrations he already has.

The data visuals are great and convienent rather than spending hours creating it yourself. It is also great compared to the other similar softwares because of how simple it is to use.

It helps me to improve the way we manage the Data in the organization. Also,  I got experience and I got in love in Data Analysis.

It is a good analytical tool which simplifies complexities in producing articulate reports and good especially when it being used by people without much programming knowledge.

Operations Manager

It provides great visibility on data, it is easy to download and it connects with different CRMs in order to use it as a database for performance.

Programmer

The possibility of using a free version and the price of the PRO version, which is more affordable than the competitors.

Director, Accountability & Transparency

I find it a bit frustrating when presented with a visualisation that doesn't represent the particular angle on the data I am looking for.

Assistant controller 

Had to take some training courses and even at that it was still confusing.

PowerBI, is very powerful and has a big community who's will help you if you have a question or a problem. Also, the learning curve is not steep.

The only problem, I've found was that you can only program 8 updates a day to the data model.

Data Scientist

This is usually very informative especially to the senior management when creating dashboard and data summaries. For example, Its specifically important in monitoring budget and expenditure data.

Consultant

It can integrate with Excel which means one can work on raw data parallelly with the BI visualizations. Power BI has a very interactive community and that takes care of the support issue.

Related topics and queries are weaker than trends.

Data is just a percentage, not an absolute number. Locations should be more deep, at least city.

The trends are provided based on the searches made on Google. If you are looking for some specific topics that are for your research and these are not hot on Google search then it is tricky.
