What reviewers mention most
“Simplified and good”
Quite new in data visualization space, but has a lot of potentials to be one of the best data visualization application. Too many competitors in the market, sometimes crash due to a very large database system.
“Intelligent platform”
Power BI is excellent at producing basic reports very quickly. Power BI is substantially cheaper than Tableau's offering and Microsoft's suite comes out on top in all but a few use cases. If you're looking for a general purpose business intelligence platform, Power BI is almost certainly your best bet.
“Great Visualization Software”
Pros: The platform has a large user community where your questions can be answered.

“Great system”
Excel to the highest level. I get to create dashboards and solutions to embed within websites that users have access to that automates easily and can handle huge datasets. The most powerful uses of Power BI are how easy it is to use. It connects to almost every data type imaginable and has countless intuitive visualizations built in. Their open-source visualization library is great for finding new visualizations on the fly. Excel users feel right at home with making graphs, tables within the tool and can create a solution that can be automated and deployed.
