DAX Studio and Vertipaq Analyser

Hi,

 

I would like to know if DAX Studio and Vertipaq Analyser is safe to download and free of spyware, virus etc?

The reason is after i downloaded the file, there are security warning from Windows that the files are not safe for execution and is advising to delete the files instead. 

 

I download from the official site such as daxstudio.org etc.

 

The tools will be cool for analyzing the query performance of the Power BI Reports, however i have some concerns if it's secure?

Thanks.

 

Regards,

Jeff

Yes they are safe. Microsoft sometimes makes it hard for developers to comply to these validation processes.

  DAX Studio now has vertipaq analyser built in. It needs to be turned on in the options.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

@MattAllington Actually with the just released version 2.11 they moved it to GA
