These apps are pretty straightjacketed. When there’s a simply gui option to drag-and-drop it works like a charm. When you have to do anything in DAX life gets significantly worse. I’d rather be able to do data modeling in Python. But the point is pretty graphics so not a big deal. I wouldn’t look for a competitive edge in the analytics side.
For me the real issue is data engineering. I spend much more time changing data sources manually than I do making fancy analytics. I’m not sure if that sells software though! Execs want analytics that increase revenue or decrease costs. There may not be value in improving the weak points in this software even though it would make a better product for its users.
