Pros

“As a Business Analyst, I appreciate its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, extensive visualization options, and seamless integration with Microsoft products such as Excel, SQL Server, Azure, and Teams.”

Gabriel I.

“It has been a good fit for scaling dashboards to many users, with stronger governance, distribution, and performance than a basic setup. Once the semantic model is properly designed and the refresh strategy is stable, it saves a significant amount of time compared to manual reporting and gives stakeholders reliable, consistent KPIs.”

Louis S.

CTO

“It's a great tool for tracking metrics from this information, which is valuable in a professional setting for analyzing the progress of a specific project or task, helping decide how to move forward and whether any adjustments are needed to correct certain data.”

Álvaro C.

Deploy Manager

Pros

“the dasboard metrics are not entirely customizable”

Tarnika C.

Product Operations Manager

“It includes a mobile app, is accessible for free, and offers premium customers access to additional tools and functions, which is really helpful to me.”

Atour T.

Analyst

“In particular, I really appreciate the real-time chat that allows to improve the conversion rate for those users who are not sure to get registered on your website.”

Maria L.

COO

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).”

Charumathi A.

Data Engineer

“Large models can consistently hit refresh timeout limits or memory constraints, which can lead to service interruptions when working on projects or testing current displays”

Nicholas B.

Actuary

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