I am rather new to Power BI and Power BI Desktop. Just started palying with some data and reports.
Is there a reliable COTS evaluation out there, particularly for the Desktop?
Chris
Thank you so much for the response and the willingness to add to my knowledge. I am examining Power BI and Power BI Desktop for possible application to a small startup business. While I can judge for myself some things, such as usability (user interface, customization, ease of data pulls, ease of data manipuilation, etc) and installation/configuration, there are some other areas I would want to have other users' opinions. These are stability, reliability, integration (particularly with SQL and MS Office suite), scalability, and support.
