To be blunt, the lack of conformed dimension support, the errors, the bugs, the poor performance on all but tiny datasets... This feature is useless to enterprise customers. 

 

Please prioritise quality over speed to market.

    thanks for the feedback - it would be great if you can give specific examples of where you are seeing perf issues, errors, bugs and on which version of Desktop. We have worked on improving performance specifically in the last couple releases of Desktop and our telemetry shows that those improvements are paying off. Curious to learn what you think we need to do as well. Also, not sure what you mean that we don't support conformed dimensions. We are working on a best practices document that explains how to deal with the most common issues people have with this feature.
