It is generally good. However, putting up excel visuals is much simpler and hence more preferable.

It can be used by all thanks to its design and little tech knowledge is needed to develop amazing visuals.

Manipulating raw data into Power BI such as excel is quite complex.

We’re able to deliver several reports and content to big groups of people at a go using Power BI. It makes report generation simpler and the final users get a better opportunity of utilizing the information.

It is very customizable.

Has an interface with a dated look and feel.
