Gartner Magic Quadrant

Gartner continue to position Microsoft as a Leader, and had this to say in their annual Magic Quadrant for BI Analytics: 

Strengths:

• Dominant market presence: Compared to other ABI platforms, Power BI has a dominant market presence. This makes finding internal skills, external consultants and training material easy. Moreover, Power BI is an approved product in most organizations, which enables easy expansion through existing deployments.
• Integrated D&A stack: Power BI is part of Microsoft Fabric, a D&A ecosystem that includes OneLake, Data Integration, Data Warehouse, Apache Spark, Data Science, operational databases and real-time capabilities. This product integration across the D&A stack meets customers’ preferences by eliminating the need to cobble together multiple best-of-breed tools.
• Prominent Copilot brand: Copilot for Power BI provides intelligent assistance to boost productivity in typical D&A workflows, including visualization, calculating metrics, documenting metadata and finding insights such as key drivers and anomalies. While other ABI platforms offer these technologies, Microsoft’s Copilot brand is more widely recognized.
