The drag and drop option makes it even more easier to create visualization. It accepts a variety of data sources like Excel files, One Drive and also third-party tools such as SQL databases.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Data processing is simplified using Power BI and Power Query. How? 1. A variety of sources can be connected. 2. If necessary, data may be translated directly into Power Query. 3. The first visualizations are clear and easy to use. 4. Almost all visualization requirements may be satisfied using workarounds. 5. Due to the "relational models," performance with large data sources with more than 10 million rows is also quite good. 6. There are a variety of automation options available, ranging from connecting to updating data. Power BI integrates well with the rest of the Microsoft ecosystem. This means that Power BI excels at linking.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The software is still in its infancy in compared to similar technologies. As a result, numerous useful and convenient features are absent. These display options and formatting are not completely customizable. As an end user, it is very sluggish, at times brutally so. There might be an overwhelming number of techniques for visualizing data at times. Additionally, considerable talents are required to transform data from many sources to a representation. On the other hand, all users may need the Pro version to see a visualization created in the Desktop Pro version. Power BI can show complex data sets in a comprehensible way.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
We are given a high-level overview of almost all of the company's procedures. We can automatically and without effort obtain data from a number of sources.
