Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights.

Power BI provides cloud-based BI (business intelligence) services, known as “Power BI Services”, along with a desktop-based interface, called “Power BI Desktop”. It provides data warehouse capabilities including data preparation, data mining, and interactive dashboards. In March 2016, Microsoft released an additional service called Power BI Embedded on its Azure cloud platform. One main differentiator of the product is the ability to load custom visualizations.

Benefits of Power BI:

  • Ease of Use: User-friendly interface that allows both technical and non-technical users to create and share visual reports.
  • Cost-Effective: Offers a free tier and affordable pricing plans, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.
  • Scalability: Scalable to handle large datasets and complex data models.
  • Security: Robust security features including data encryption, role-based access control, and compliance with industry standards.
