Independent research methodology
Our researchers use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or speak to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.
How GetApp verifies reviews

How GetApp ensures transparency
GetApp lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. GetApp is free for users. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to receive web traffic and sales opportunities. Sponsored profiles include a link-out icon that takes users to the provider’s website.

The support during implementation and PowerBI report creation has been very good.
We have had good feedback from users for our initial purposes of storing user comments within a PowerBI report.
Since Insight acquired PowerON, they have been more focused on upselling and less focused on customer service and success.

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.
I liked the relative ease of use and the multitude of capabilities that it has. Power XL being my favorite feature.
Buggy features in PowerXL. The total row not displaying aggregates after a save.

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

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
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.

Once you get it set up, it's fabulous. The set up part is the hardest!
It makes a super complicated data visualization model interactive!
Set up can be a challenge - you have to know SQL.
