Microsoft Power BI Embedded Pros and Cons

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.

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.

Microsoft Power BI Embedded is an easy-to-use tool that allows users to integrate Power BI reports and dashboards into web pages, virtual workspaces, and applications and has seamless integration with Dynamics 365 Business Central, SharePoint, power apps, and third-party applications.

Power BI embedded allows business reports customization directly within a virtual workspace or workgroup project’s web page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike, but managing user permissions can be complex and then unintentionally denies access to embedded reports for authorized team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

Microsoft Powe BI Embedded helps me in creating powerful dashboards which ultimately helps business to take action with the insights available in the dashboard.

It has multiple chart feature like Bar char, line chart, pie chart etc which helps us in building powerful dashboards as per the data points and requirements. Last but not the least, it's very easy to use and and anyone can learn it within no time. It has very strong customer support team as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I feel it gets stuck when I load very large datasets in it to build line chart or pie chart, otherwise, it works very smooth with nominal dataset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favourite feature is the crisp integration with the exisiting Microsoft tools I use for my projects and reports - I can embed rich, interactive data visualizations directly into applications, without the need for extensive coding. It saves me time and effort for my data analytics, and it always produces a high quality output. The visuals are impressive and helps make my reports powerful and persuasive.

when I first started using this tool, I was self-taught. I felt a bit overwhelmed because it felt complicated. I relied on YouTube tutorials to find my way, and with time and practice, I was able to master it and maximise it to its full potential, as it relates to my various project scopes.

That is is something that allows our directors to easily monitor progress. As well it is accessible to the team that are under them as well. It is able to break down the overall numbers into categories to better understand areas of opportunity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes a bit to load. Then another big issue is you can review results in real time. You have to wait until the next day to see metrics. 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.

I am a new PowerBi user and now I see only the advantages of this solution. it is easy to use, perfectly integrated with Microsoft tools that I use every day, and the reports and statistics look really good visually and contain a lot of valuable information.

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.

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.

It's fantastic to be able to view embedded reports in real time. It's easy for end users to access, even offline. It's also easy to implement and scale, and our developers though that the integration was very smooth. Our executive users find it easy to interact with the reports and visualizations.

Relies on Azure, which was not an issue for our organization, but could be a drawback for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
