Better End-User Interface

The end user experience in Power BI is not very friendly and requires a tremendous amount of training from the BI team to get the majority of users to their content.

• First off, the home page is not customizable. I would like to have the option to put content on this home page for all to see.
• To get to content, you need to navigate to workspaces, then click on your report, or navigate to apps (and hopefully the developer chose to install it for you if you have access), find the app and then click on that.

Semantic models get in the way of the experience as well. I can't have multiple semantic models on one report which requires me to put unrelated content in the semantic model if I want to have report summarizing different areas of the business. For example, sales data, survey data, operational data, financial data, and HR data. I could go the route of the dashboard, but it seem this was a half-hearted attempt at giving the developer a tool to use. The only feature that is somewhat helpful in dashboards is the ability to drag, drop and somewhat resize the objects to the shape you want.

I love Power BI from a developer standpoint outside of what I described up top. The functionality of the cross-filtering/highlighting is amazing. DAX is extremely powerful with the calculations that aren't available in other platforms. If Power BI could take what DOMO did on their end-user interface and apply it to their product - we would have superior functionality in developing reports and a pleasant end-user experience.
