What is Power BI?

Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn your unrelated sources of data into coherent, visually immersive, and interactive insights. Your data might be an Excel spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses. Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want.

Pros vs Cons

Pros of Power BI

Data Visualization: Create charts, graphs, and dashboards with your data.
Reporting: Embed and share reports in your other Microsoft services, including Teams, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Cons of Power BI

Steep Learning Curve: Complex, technical program with a substantial learning curve. Often requires hiring Power BI Consultants, data engineers, and complex database tools to manage data.
Data Size Limits: Power BI has limitations on the size of the dataset you can import, refresh, and store in the Power BI service.

Why Spontivly?

We noticed teams with very little technical skills don't have access to data dashboards because of how complicated and expensive they can be. The average data dashboard costs an organization over $18k to build per iteration – a costly and time-consuming process. Meanwhile, there is a rising demand in the workplace for increased data.

In fact, 98% of executives agree it’s important to increase data analysis by their organizations in the next 1 to 3 years.

While this is important for teams, there is a lack of talent to analyze the data. Teams don’t have the data literacy to create and maintain these dashboards. Spontivly offers solutions to these three key problems.

Spontivly offers technical solutions. Companies lack the infrastructure to compile data from numerous platforms in one place for analysis.

Spontivly offers visualization solutions. Once data is acquired, companies struggle to compile and present the data in a meaningful way to showcase value and ROI.

Spontivly offers storytelling solutions. Even with visualization tools, companies need to understand how to leverage data, tell stories, and make recommendations based on their findings.
