Power BI is Microsoft's solution for data analysis, which falls into the category of self-service Business Intelligence. It is suitable for the business user who wants to perform their own analyses, independently of the IT department, and share them with other members of the organisation.
Data analysis is performed with the Power BI Desktop software, which is free to download and use, and which connects to a cloud space so that the user can share their reports and analysis with other members of the company.
The basic Power BI cloud account is free, but with limitations such as storage capacity of 1 Gb per user, update frequency, or data transmission, much more limited than the paid Power BI Pro option, which also allows you to connect to more data sources, advanced collaboration options and manage security and access to data by roles and groups of Office 365 or Active Directory.
The solution includes specific applications for viewing data created with Power BI Desktop on mobile devices, aon the Power BI Mobile applications.
With the Power BI Embedded product, and using REST APIs and the Power BI SDK, Power BI visual elements can be embedded into applications in the Azure cloud.
