Microsoft Fabric Likes & Dislikes
Very broad capabilities to enable Fabric to be a Self-Service Platform. Building their entire ecosystem around the concept of OneLake is vital for extending Data Analytics capabilities within the enterprise. Availability of zero-ETL or zero-Copy solutions allows us to take advantage of our investments with other vendors also. They have integrated many of their erstwhile Azure products - while continuing to build around OneLake. They do address gaps and bugs relatively quickly.
1. Microsoft Fabric provides centralized governance 2. Power BI integration 3. Easy data management
The capability of having your entire data platform in one place. From ingestion, to transformation, to analytics, to self-service. All in one place.
Their focus on customer user experience - gives a lot of flexibility for the end user - without adequate tools for the enterprise IT to manage and control. Due to the SaaS nature of Fabric - there are always quite a few preview features. Hence, the enterprise IT needs to be agile to test and plan deployment of these newer features for the Data Analytics Community. OneLake Security still needs to be extended to all of their compute engines. Purview is still a work in progress.
1. It takes some effort to learn the service 2. Some features should work according to Microsoft's online documentation, but they don't work 3. It is quite complicated, sometimes, you can get confused by the complexity
With regular releases and ongoing updates, there is always the risk that a feature we adopt won't catch on and it could be dropped quicker compared to a platform that has less features and updates, but more confidence behind each piece. However, I would 100% prefer regular updates and new features with the risk of a feature deprecating compared to a platform that rarely updates.

Fabric - an Evolving Data Analytics Platform
Very positive experience; Microsoft continues to keep adding features to the overall Fabric environment - which allows customers to take advantage of newer features with existing investments - Director of IT50M-1B USDSoftwareReview Source
Using Fabric as the reporting backbone of Power BI is genuinely the perfect all-in-one package for a business of any size.
Genuinely a great experience. Our primary use of Fabric is with Power BI, but we have started to use the wider Fabric features for data ingestion and transformation, and the experience has been consistently great (lakehouses, notebooks, etc). The regular releases and improvements have been welcomed and appreciated! - Manager Of Data And Analytics1B-10B USDEnergy and UtilitiesReview Source
Unified Analytics Platform Streamlines Microsoft Data Tools With User-Friendly Interface
Unified analytics platform that simplifies data engineering, warehousing and and analytics within the Microsoft ecosystem. For me, Fabric provides the best UX in the market. Highly recommended for technical, but especially non-technical users. - Director of Data and Analytics50M-1B USDConstructionReview Source
Deployment Workflow and Python Integration Challenges Highlighted for Fabric Platform
Fabric is easy to get started with, especially for existing users of Power BI. It integrates with Power BI relatively seamlessly. Although there are still some quirks, they are continually adding new features. - DATA ANALYST50M-1B USDManufacturingReview Source
