Power BI makes you build everything from scratch. SlideStrike already knows your construction KPIs.
To show one safety metric in Power BI, you need to learn a whole programming language. In SlideStrike, you just upload your data.
And how SlideStrike solves each problem
You need to learn a whole programming language just to calculate a simple percentage. New users call it 'overwhelming' and 'a big mess'.
