Accurate decisions with insightful data analysis

What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
Technically, it has solid foundations in relation to Data Analytics and Big Data, being these points preponderant with respect to tools whose functions may be similar; Power Bi has many possibilities of data acquisition ranging from plain text files csv to integration with different on-premises applications (Excel) and on cloud such as (Azure, Marketo, Sharepoint, etc) importing from these sources large volumes of data to be cleaned, processed and transformed into esthetically displayed graphics that help organizational decision making.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The process of acquiring, importing, cleaning and modeling the data is extremely intuitive and the functions help pleasantly in this process, also with the implementations of DAX formulas our data modeling process can go beyond the analysis to a deeper step making clear use of specific mathematical expressions that give us the information we are looking for.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The only detail I have noticed is in the licensing issue, since depending on the value of the license or the plan purchased, you will have more benefits and premium features.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
There is a correlation between planning, decision making and results; Power BI allows us to perform a thorough analysis of the information we require since it converts that data into distributed graphs in an efficient and easily accessible way.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy

What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
It is simple to use, inventive, and interactive; it is reasonably priced; it is continually updated; it is a web-based tool that can be accessed from any browser regardless of device or location; it is successful when dealing with varying volumes of data, and it also has a sizable user community.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like how easy it is to use; since this tool was integrated into our company, it has facilitated the efficient analysis of our data, satisfaction and attention indicators, service levels and processes, among others; it allows us to present complex metrics quickly and in an easy to digest format; also, I think it is great that Power Bi can read XML and JSON files, since we frequently work with these formats, as well as its excellent integration with Excel, which in turn allows us to store the data.
What do you dislike most about this product?
When a large number of tables are fetched, there are often performance problems and delays for other processes running on the computer, which sometimes have to be restarted due to long waiting times.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Knowing how to use data effectively in your business will bring you great results and allow you to make more informed and accurate decisions. That's why I recommend Power Bi, as it is excellent for data analysis and research and will help you maintain stable productivity with unprecedented success.
