## Reviews

### "The End Justifies the Means... but the Means Require Patience" — 4.0/5

> **Matt** | *26 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The final results of what PowerBI can do for your team/business are incredible. Empowering each team with their own interactive dashboards with data that's specific to their decision-making is absolute gold in business value.
> 
> **Cons**: If you already have a seasoned PowerBI expert on your team, then you'll be positioned to start seeing the benefits a lot faster. However, if you or someone else is starting the setup with no prior experience, there is a pretty massive learning curve.
> 
> I've had the benefit of using PowerBI dashboards at a few different companies that influenced how we made decisions and interacted with customers at a level we simply could not without the tool. I've also had to link up data sources and create dashboards from scratch at my current company, and it required hours of online tutorials and patience on my part to finally get it done.

### "Amazing software for data visualization" — 5.0/5

> **Shreyas** | *16 April 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The quick and dynamic way of data visualization and the versatility of data sourcing from various inputs.
> 
> **Cons**: It is lagging at times, especially when the screen is being share on a MS Teams call. Other than that I like all other features.
> 
> Overall I am very happy with this product. Power BI has helped the team tremendously to streamline operations and minimize decision making time with quick reporting functionality.

### "Could try harder" — 1.0/5

> **Jack** | *17 April 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Unfortunately, not much. The only real positive element would be teams and general 365 integration.
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of visuals for dashboards, complex to use, buggy when importing external data.
> 
> Sadly our experience was poor. We ended up spending months back and forward with Microsoft when suddenly, based of their recommendation of deleting our data ingest and recreating, we lost everything. We couldn't retrieve our previous data ingest and constantly hit errors.

### "Powerful Dashboard Tool for Real-Time Operations" — 4.0/5

> **Rene** | *1 May 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Power BI is a very powerful tool for data visualization and reporting. I like how it connects easily with multiple data sources and allows you to create interactive dashboards. In our case, we use it as a main operational dashboard to track accessories and monitor real-time movement of units, which helps a lot with visibility and decision-making. The integration with Microsoft tools like Excel and Teams is also a big advantage.
> 
> **Cons**: The learning curve can be challenging, especially when working with DAX formulas or complex data models. Performance can slow down with large datasets, and sharing reports sometimes requires additional licensing.
> 
> Overall, my experience has been very positive. Power BI has helped improve reporting and daily operations by providing clear, real-time dashboards. It gives our team better control and visibility over unit movement and accessory tracking. It does take time to fully learn, but once implemented, it becomes an essential tool for operational management and decision-making.

### "PowerBI review" — 5.0/5

> **Joanne** | *30 March 2025* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a lot of functions that our old software did not.
> 
> **Cons**: It has some limitations when it comes to left and right joining.
> 
> We use it for reporting purposes and so far it is better than Excel and Access.

Live dashboards offer an instant 360-view on business health, leveraging 59 out-of-the-box connections for apps or services such as Salesforce, Google Analytics, Azure, Facebook, Github, QuickBooks Online, Twilio and Zendesk. Power BI brings all that data, wherever it resides, together to form a complete picture of key metrics that can then be queried using natural language.\n\nWith Power BI Desktop, users can author reports using intuitive drag-and-drop tools and share amongst colleagues through the online Power BI Service. Integrating with Microsoft’s established Query engine, data modeling and visualization technologies, Power BI Desktop connects, shapes and reports to centralize a typically disjointed process of reporting. Outputting to .pbix format, these report files can then be manually shared like any other or uploaded to the shared service. In addition, this ability to keep all users on the same page at all times extends to a suite of optimized mobile support. Power BI Mobile keeps remote connectivity consistent across native apps for Windows Mobile, iOS and Android devices, adding intuitive gesture-based operation.
