Microsoft Power BI

What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?

Until now, when it came to data analysis, we used multiple tools such as EXCEL and other BI tools. With the introduction of M365, the operation was unified with Power BI and increased the productivity of data analysis work. Since it can be operated intuitively, no matter what kind of data is analyzed, there is no hesitation in running it, and the analysis work can be started immediately. If you get used to it, you can achieve your goals faster with Power BI than with EXCEL to analyze data. Data analysis in EXCEL used to be commonplace, but since Power BI was introduced, analysis work in EXCEL has all but disappeared.

I think it's an excellent tool to stick to the look and feel because you can organize charts clearly and easily. PowerPoint is often used to create presentation materials for Microsoft products, but the advantage is that you can easily create charts with better layouts. It can be linked to Excel as quickly as PowerPoint, and simple data analysis can be completed in Power BI.
