Self-BI tool for easy report creation

What differentiates Microsoft Power BI from other similar products?
Power BI Desktop is a service for aggregating data and sharing it in charts and tables in the cloud. As a convenient point, the burden of account management does not increase and data can be updated automatically. If the company already uses Microsoft 365 (Office 365), etc., account management is a way to grant reporting authority to the organization's account, so users do not need to remember new IDs and passwords. Access your reports with your regular Microsoft 365 organizational account. IT only has to deal with existing account management and the burden will not increase.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
For automatic data update, even if the data source is located on an internal server or shared folder, the means and tools to obtain the data are provided so that you can prepare the data acquisition environment. The data is updated according to the set schedule/interval (e.g. hourly), so you can refer to the latest data whenever you need it. You can also share by email attachment. By changing the work of summarizing weekly sales and sharing it via email once a week to share it with this Power BI service, there was a time reduction effect of about 5 hours per month.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There are occasional errors (extraction of comments from free-form fields in questionnaires, etc.), but the numerical data analysis is absolutely flawless.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It is definitely better suited for visualizing large amounts of data than Excel, so I think it will be useful for worthwhile work. I used to spend hours analyzing data, but now I can generate reports of results and have meetings based on the data compiled by Power BI. We used several in-house BI tools, but Power BI was the most intuitive for creating charts and freely organizing them as reports (dashboards). I feel it is very intuitive and convenient to be able to create elements, organize them like PowerPoint and adjust.
