Gartner had this to say in their annual Magic Quadrant for BI Analytics:&nbsp;“Microsoft is a Leader in this Magic Quadrant. It has massive market reach and momentum through Office 365 and a comprehensive, visionary product roadmap. Microsoft Power BI offers data preparation, visual-based data discovery, interactive dashboards and augmented analytics. The new “goals” capability enables data-driven and collaborative tracking of key business metric scorecards. Power BI is primarily deployed as a SaaS option running in Azure, but offers a less-functional on-premises option in Power BI Report Server. Microsoft continues to align Power BI closely with Office 365, Microsoft Teams, Excel and SharePoint. In 2022, Microsoft’s vision is to make Power BI the hub for data and analytics in an organization.Strengths:<ul><li>Alignment with Office 365, Teams and Azure Synapse: The inclusion of Power BI in the Office 365 E5 SKU has provided an enormous channel for the platform’s spread. As many customers turn to Teams for remote work collaboration, the ability to access Power BI and now “goals” within the same Teams interface is a compelling integration for business users. Power BI and Azure Synapse alignment addresses multiple data and analytics personas and use cases.</li><li>Price/value combination: Power BI does not sacrifice quality in order to achieve its disruptively low pricing model. The Power BI cloud service is rich in its capabilities, which include an enlarged set of augmented analytics and automated ML (autoML) capabilities.</li><li>Power portfolio and product ambition: Microsoft has a clear vision for cross-utilization of Power BI, Power Apps and Power Automate to drive business value. Power Apps can be embedded in Power BI dashboards or access Power BI datasets, and Power Automate flows can be constructed to take various actions based on the data. AI-powered services, such as text, sentiment and image analytics, are available within Power BI Premium.”</li></ul>
