Mews

Makes PCI-DSS level 1 compliance much simpler and minimizes the attack surface of our system. The sensitive credit card data don't even touch our infrastructure which eliminates lot of items from the long list of PCI-DSS requirements.

Power BI is really easy to start with. If you have just several Excel sheets or CSV files, or you build your first automated pipeline, it is actually quite intuitive to build your first reports.

And as we have kept growing, all the additional features and tools were just there within the Azure platform and/or Office 365.

Since we started building Mews, we have already passed several milestones in becoming start up, later also a scale up company and now getting ready to grow even further, and during all these phases Power BI was just the right tool for us.

Azure Data Factory was a great fit into our current stack where we already rely heavily on the Azure platform. We already had several Azure SQL Databases, so when we needed to optimize and start aggregating some of the historical data for our BI reporting in Power BI, we could use ADF to easily design and schedule the necessary pipelines.

Microsoft has massive expertise in writing development IDEs and it's really visible. Every since they released Visual Studio Code we benefit from its constant improvements. I can't imagine writing code in anything else anymore.
