What I like the most about this tool is that we can use Power BI to visualize and organize data from various sources and organize it however we want.

What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
Microsoft Power BI provides strong and reliable support infrastructure for users. I also must mention the role of free plugins available on the Microsoft Office store , in the aforementioned strong support infrastructure I highlighted above.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Power BI provides exclusive visualisation options and features , which are simply not available on any other data analysis software platform out there. The vast visualization options which Power BI provides , enable me make my data storytelling as detailed as possible.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Power BI struggles to integrate with non-Microsoft software solutions. Including mainstream spreadsheets such as Google Sheets.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Asides getting the job done , Power BI is very affordable and comes as a part of the standard office 365 package, with an extra charge. Which is overall cheaper than the price of the closest substitute to this program.
Pros
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
