Power ON Reviews
"Great tool for dashboard interactivity"
Overall: The support during implementation and PowerBI report creation has been very good.
Pros: We have had good feedback from users for our initial purposes of storing user comments within a PowerBI report.
Cons: Since Insight acquired PowerON, they have been more focused on upselling and less focused on customer service and success.
"Power On User Review"
Overall: The Insight/Power On support team work quickly to assist with report issues. The renewal process was a bit frustrating.
Pros: The Power On suite of custom visuals offers many exciting new ways to utilize Power BI. It will allow for an easier user experience in many cases, and eliminate complicated data entry workarounds using excel and other methods.
Cons: There are many configuration options available in a visual. These options provide the ability to achieve a custom look and feel, but learning how to setup the visual settings can be complicated.
"Power On allows a multitude of ways to tailor data."
Overall: Power ON has allowed me to create a companywide Forecast and Budget with the MS Excel platform that gives users the power to add their own inputs for analysis.
Pros: I liked the relative ease of use and the multitude of capabilities that it has. Power XL being my favorite feature.
Cons: Buggy features in PowerXL. The total row not displaying aggregates after a save.
"Power ON is our Go To platform for Power BI data entry"
Pros: Simplicity of Power XL interface - users know how to use it since they are familiar with Excel Flexibility to use it in a number of scenarios, not just financial planning Ability to customize the Power XL features Very simple for straightforward scenarios
Cons: Can be a little complex to configure for complicated scenarios. More custom dev required (e.g., SQL Triggers) for these scenarios. No ability to track usage, licensing, etc.
"Extremely Powerful Tool!"
Overall: Once you get it set up, it's fabulous. The set up part is the hardest!
Pros: It makes a super complicated data visualization model interactive!
Cons: Set up can be a challenge - you have to know SQL.
