Microsoft Power BI is a unified, scalable platform for self-service and enterprise
Business Intelligence (BI) it provides nontechnical business users with tools for
aggregating,
analyzing,
visualizing and
sharing data.
Power BI's user interface is fairly intuitive for users familiar with Excel, and its deep integration with other Microsoft products makes it a versatile self-service tool that requires little upfront training.
Users can download an application for Windows 10 and 11, called Power BI Desktop, and native mobile apps for Windows, Android and iOS devices. There is also Power BI Report Server for companies that must maintain their data and reports on premises. That version of Power BI requires a special version of the desktop app -- aptly called Power BI Desktop for Power BI Report Server.
