Microsoft Fabric Likes & Dislikes

Like

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.
