What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
Power BI offers a wide range of data importing methods that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft technologies and data solutions, including Microsoft 365 apps, Azure SQL, and many other third-party ones.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Power BI data importing and loading is straightforward and supports most data sources and file types. It's efficient for basic ETL tasks, quick ad-hoc analysis, and even larger workflows that require advanced queries, real-time data streaming, or Azure SQL Server integration.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Query debugging can be slow and frustrating, especially when importing multiple files and handling data transformations directly in Power BI instead of preprocessing them with another tool or SQL.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I recommend that business users focus more on data extraction, building relationships, and creating visualizations in Power BI, while keeping data cleaning and transformation to a minimum. This practice would make the dashboards faster, and it's much easier to debug queries or fix relationship issues when they occur.
