Power BI Documenter Pros and Cons

PowerBI has meant a leap in quality when it comes to generating Dashboards in our Smart Cities projects, and together with the integration of Documenter, now our reports are better and faster, since we can obtain information directly from the source. In addition, its use and implementation, like all PowerBI, is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much negative to say, that has not existed before, and we ask for more documentation in Spanish, and a lower price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about this tool is it's existance. Having worked as Power BI developer, I know how difficult it is to document each and every little detail of the report and there is always this possibility that we miss some little details. The tool is well bifurcated looking at the various components of a Power BI report. And the best part is it gives a detailed report of my Power BI report. Another best thing is all my M scripts and queries are stored at one place which can be very helpful for the client. Under Models tab, there are further drill downs which is again very helpful as understanding those details is very tricky but equally important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
