(Original )Information
What do you like best about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

I consider that Power BI has a friendly interface and is very easy to use. The drag and drop function makes it easy for me to create interactive reports. This shows visual appeal without having to have technical skills in this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

For people who are just starting to use this tool for business reporting or who have little experience in data analysis, there may be a very slow learning curve associated with mastering Power BI. At first I found it a little difficult to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Power BI Embedded solving and how is that benefiting you?

One problem I had was managing and handling large databases which can be difficult and time consuming at first.

The solution I got from Power BI was its easy-to-use interface once I learned all the visualization options. This made it easier for me to create reports and interact. This improved my interpretation of data and helped me with decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

Power BI has started being implemented at our company recently, meaning that we are still in the discovering phase. So far what we have uncovered is beyond fantastic! We have built several automated processes capturing input data onto Sharepoint and Power BI was just there to pull the data from it. Power BI was also there to let us implement a live connection to our database. Given the experience we acquired with Power Query from Excel, transitioning to Power BI represented no problem at all for us, it also lets us utilize SQL statements creating a swell link onto that database without crowding the query with unnecessary applied steps (it helps with the data load speed to increase exponentially). The Streaming datasets we were able to creating using Power Automate, bring power to our reports and dashboards for ease of access to users getting the most updated data without breaking a sweat. The integration of embedding Power BI was easy and the display is phenomenal. Even when there are times that for some reason datasets don't refresh correctly (this occurs mostly with scheduled refreshes), we immediately receive email notification with details on what we should be looking at to find a fix. The other portion of Power BI that probably doesn't get as much credit, is the online version of Power BI reports; its option to analyze reports in Excel allows us to send quick ad-hoc reports upon request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

There are very few things I think Power BI could improve but that perspective I have it only based on what I needed in the moment. Power BI can't be connected to provide information out to Sharepoint. Having that option would've help skipping the workaround we utilize by building a dataset in Power BI then publishing that report and use a gateway where we could've connected the data directly. The Dataset ended up being a table that could've easily provide that information to be read utilizing Power Automate. Which is what we end up doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Power BI Embedded:

If your organization is already on the Microsoft platform, it is much easier to integrate to other pieces of software as opposed to bring in a different product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Power BI Embedded solving and how is that benefiting you?

Live reporting

Live connection data to core databases

Reduction of manual labor

The beauty on how the data is presented with the Dashboards is incredible and very professional. We are very pleased with the product and the features that so far we have uncovered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a service built into the tools that I would like to analyze. For example, analysis of time spent on communication, i.e. meetings (scheduled or unplanned), 1/1 chats or group discussions. All of this perfectly illustrates the time I spend on communication and gives me the opportunity to take steps based on this analysis and assess my performance and the value of the time spent on communication.

What do you like best about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

Power BI embedded is scalable, fast, accurate, flexible and it keeps advancing with new features and capabilities. Anyone can easily see those things happening. In fact, the embedding feature is something that we keep using everyday in our company. 9/10 days we use Power BI via web apps or environment, or via any arrangement that is hosted elsewhere, in order to provide the benefits of Power BI to colleagues that cannot be present or it is difficult for them to work within the original Power BI premises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

One downside that I can think of, that in fact is sort of a downside, is a case that stands for all types of Power BI implementations. Power BI is a great tool, that needs continues support. It can be design-intensive, DBA-intensive, Data Quality - intensive etc, you need People that know about it, to work for you, internal Team to say more accurately. One can always use consultants, but One would end up needing them on a 6.5/7 weekdays to work with him/her. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Power BI Embedded solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Microsoft Power BI Embedded for our core analysis - reporting & visualization of results and trends that we face, so that we can decide on next moves and execution of strategy that may also come up after spending time studying the data we manage through Microsoft Power BI Embedded.

What do you like best about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

Microsoft Power BI is a platform that is used for forecasting revenues or revenue trend analysis. It is a powerful tool for big companies to run their businesses and forecast their profits. Based on mathematical software it analyzes how much profit one company can earn. This calculation is based on three factors: budget, labor cost, and revenues. The actual multiplier shows how good or bad it is the budget utilization. The multiplier forecast predicts the trend of gross profit margin and allows the company to change the work order and labor cost. It graphically presented all analyses in PowerPoint and the visualization of each trend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Power BI Embedded?

The complexity of the program. It is not user-friendly. It requires previous training and advanced mathematical knowledge to fully understand each component trend such as baseline multiplier, actual multiplier, and multiplier forecast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Power BI Embedded solving and how is that benefiting you?
