Advantages of Using Power BI
Hi, I will have a presentation about Power BI and I have the following questions about Power BI.
1, How many Power BI users are there right now?
2, What is the advantage of using Power BI that makes it different from other BI tools?
Regards,
Hi Anonymous ,
As the official document said, Power bi has exceeded more than 5 million subscribers.
For the second question,there are some differences between Power BI and other BI tools referring to https://www.quora.com/How-power-BI-is-different-from-other-BI-tools
- Power BI provides a strong backend data manipulation feature with access to simple visualizations.
- Power BI has a limit of 1GB data in free version.
- Power BI covers most of the data sources available in Tableau. It is closely integrated with Office 365, hence provides connectivity to SharePoint.
- Power BI online version also supports direct visualization on Search Engine, though, only Bling is supported at this point
- Power BI provides a free version with 1GB limit on dataset. Power BI Pro is also a cheaper solution when compared with any other BI tool.
- Power BI uses cloud storage and includes simple implementation process.
In addition, I found several blogs posts on why the organization need Power BI and Please check if this could help you a little.

As far as I know there are no actual stats but this is what I found below from this video you can watch

With regards to your second question it depends on what you are looking for.
What I would say is value for money is incredible for what you get. It also has a semantic model which allows for users to create the business rules.
And finally Microsoft is the leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant: Microsoft named a Leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and BI Platforms | Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI
