This is not a comprehensive list and often choosing your business intelligence tool is a combination of personal preference, what the team already knows and what the budget allows. There are more expensive options (Tableau) and there are free options (R), they all have a role to play in health analytics and they all have pros and cons with data.
Unify self-service and enterprise analytics
Meet both your self-service and enterprise data analytics needs on a single platform. Access powerful semantic models, an application lifecycle management (ALM) toolkit, an open connectivity framework, and fixed-layout, pixel-perfect paginated reports.
Accelerate big data prep with Azure
Simplify how you analyse and share large volumes of data. By using a no-limits Azure data lake, you’ll reduce the time it takes to get insights and increase collaboration between business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists.
Find answers fast with industry-leading AI
Take advantage of the latest advances in Microsoft AI to help non-data scientists prepare data, build machine learning models, and find insights quickly from both structured and unstructured data, including text and images.
Get unparalleled Excel integration
Anyone who’s familiar with Office 365 can easily connect Excel queries, data models, and reports to Power BI Dashboards—helping to quickly gather, analyse, publish, and share Excel business data in new ways. Excel is often a dirty work in the world of analytics but its a tool used across most organisations and the tool often utilised by none data centric staff.
Turn insights into action
Go from data to insights and insights to action with the Microsoft Power Platform—combining Power BI with Power Apps and Power Automate to easily build business applications and automate workflows.
