Good and short learning curve

I use Power BI visualizations to represent and summarize the data. With its impressive tools including geolocalization, I have found more effective ways to convert, transform, represent, analyze and make better decisions and planning with Power BI. It’s ecosystem composed of Power Bi Desktop, Power BI Services (in the cloud) and Power Bi apps, has allowed me to find very innovative and productive ways to monitor the performance of my business and improve communication with my clients.

Simplified and good

Quite new in data visualization space, but has a lot of potentials to be one of the best data visualization application. Too many competitors in the market, sometimes crash due to a very large database system.

Intelligent platform

 Power BI is excellent at producing basic reports very quickly. Power BI is substantially cheaper than Tableau's offering and Microsoft's suite comes out on top in all but a few use cases. If you're looking for a general purpose business intelligence platform, Power BI is almost certainly your best bet.

Great Visualization Software

Pros: The platform has a large user community where your questions can be answered. Cons: Not all reports can be shared with colleagues as they have to get a pro-license to work collaboratively.

Great system

Excel to the highest level. I get to create dashboards and solutions to embed within websites that users have access to that automates easily and can handle huge datasets. The most powerful uses of Power BI are how easy it is to use. It connects to almost every data type imaginable and has countless intuitive visualizations built in. Their open-source visualization library is great for finding new visualizations on the fly. Excel users feel right at home with making graphs, tables within the tool and can create a solution that can be automated and deployed.

Easy start and No Maintenance

It gathers and stores all your cloud and on-premise info in a centralized location that you can access anytime, anywhere. You can also make use of pre-packaged content packs and built-in connectors to streamline import of your data from apps such as Google Analytics, Salesforce, Marketo, and more.
