Great tool for dashboard interactivity

Reviewed a month ago

The support during implementation and PowerBI report creation has been very good.

Pros

We have had good feedback from users for our initial purposes of storing user comments within a PowerBI report.

Cons

Since Insight acquired PowerON, they have been more focused on upselling and less focused on customer service and success.

Power On allows a multitude of ways to tailor data.

Reviewed 5 months ago

Power ON has allowed me to create a companywide Forecast and Budget with the MS Excel platform that gives users the power to add their own inputs for analysis.

Pros

I liked the relative ease of use and the multitude of capabilities that it has. Power XL being my favorite feature.

Cons

Buggy features in PowerXL. The total row not displaying aggregates after a save.

Power On User Review

Reviewed 25 days ago

The Insight/Power On support team work quickly to assist with report issues. The renewal process was a bit frustrating.

Pros

The Power On suite of custom visuals offers many exciting new ways to utilize Power BI. It will allow for an easier user experience in many cases, and eliminate complicated data entry workarounds using excel and other methods.

Cons

There are many configuration options available in a visual. These options provide the ability to achieve a custom look and feel, but learning how to setup the visual settings can be complicated.

Power ON is our Go To platform for Power BI data entry

Reviewed 5 months ago
Pros

Simplicity of Power XL interface - users know how to use it since they are familiar with Excel Flexibility to use it in a number of scenarios, not just financial planning Ability to customize the Power XL features Very simple for straightforward scenarios

Cons

Can be a little complex to configure for complicated scenarios. More custom dev required (e.g., SQL Triggers) for these scenarios. No ability to track usage, licensing, etc.

Extremely Powerful Tool!

Reviewed a month ago

Once you get it set up, it's fabulous. The set up part is the hardest!

Pros

It makes a super complicated data visualization model interactive!

Cons

Set up can be a challenge - you have to know SQL.
