Power BI is a cloud-based business analytics service that enables anyone to visualize and analyze data with greater speed, efficiency, and understanding. It connects users to a broad range of live data through easy-to-use dashboards, provides interactive reports, and delivers compelling visualizations that bring data to life.
Power BI differentiates from the competitors in 5 unique areas:
industry leadership
self-service live connections to a variety of data sources on prem or in the cloud,
live 360 degree view of your business on the web as well as on your phone or tablet running a native app
unparalleled user experience, from the ability to use custom visuals (i.e., user community contributed visuals built on top of an open source visualization stack from Microsoft) to taking advantage of your personal digital assistant Cortana to ask questions of your data in natural language
native integration with apps + services that you rely on for your business, e.g., integration with Office & Azure to create a platform for business intelligence, embedding in other apps + service, i.e., bring your own visuals inside your favorite apps + services

Power BI dashboards
With updates to Power BI customers can now see all their data through a single pane of glass. Live Power BI dashboards show visualizations and KPIs from data that reside both on-premises and in the cloud, providing a consolidated view across their business regardless of where their data lives.
Simplifying how you interact with data, natural language query is built into the dashboard allowing users to type questions and receive answers from data in the form of interactive visualizations.
You can then explore their data further by drilling through the dashboard into the underlying reports, discovering new insights that they can pin back to the dashboard to monitor performance going forward.
