Power BI is easy

Did anyone receive a comment that Power BI is easy?

That it is a drag and drop app?

 

It kinda triggers me every single time I receive these comments.

 

What's your opinion on this?

@mussaenda indeed, people think it is a visualization tool. So many times when I embark on a project or pre-sales discussion, they show me their Power BI report and want to improve on it, both scalability and performance. When you talk to them you need to improve on the model and blah blah they are like what you are talking about. We were able to create a report, but it just not working correctly, and that is when the real battle starts. How do you explain all this? Importance of data model and all other performance techniques. So it becomes super easy (drag and drop) to a complex tool, some understand, and some just walk away, and keep on struggling.

It's partly a result of the "self-service" concept: it transmits simplicity when it can actually become very complex, especially when modeling and DAX are involved

They know the tip of an iceberg and for them that is what powerbi is all about.
