What is your favorite aspect of this product?
What I Like about Power BI is that provides a lot of creative features such as buttons, drill throughs which help in making the dashboards more efficient and interactive.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The tool has a lot of positives attributes. However, Power BI has a lot of challenges especially when it comes to its User Interface. The user interface is so occupied that it can be very difficult for new learners to keep everything in their minds. The tool also crashes occasionally when the tool has to load the data from a database
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It took a long time to learn it to the point where I felt confident without support of either representatives or other users, and I still don't feel that I can use it in a way that feels intuitive, like some other softwares.
