Benefits of Using Microsoft Fabric

Scalability - Designed to be scalable, easily adapting to meet the changing needs of businesses, helping to save costs and improve efficiency.

Simplified Data Management - A unified platform for data management can simplify data storage, organization, and access, improving data quality and reducing time to find and use data.

Enhanced Collaboration - Users can share data and insights, and work together to build and deploy data-driven solutions, making it easy for teams to collaborate on data projects.

Improved Security - Secure environment for data storage and processing, including features such as data encryption, access control, and auditing, helping to protect data from unauthorized access.

Reduced Complexity - Provides a single pane of glass for managing data, including pre-built tools and templates to help automate tasks, reducing the complexity of data management.

Cost Efficiency - A cost-effective solution for data management, helping to save costs by reducing the need for third-party tools and services.

Query Optimization: Performance on a par with import mode, with the real-time nature of DirectQuery and the data never leaves the lake.

PoC Ready: Power BI reads data from OneLake, can query the Parquet Delta files directly and doesn’t need to send SQL queries.

Faster Visuals: Visual queries won’t be translated to SQL queries against an SQL endpoint of the Lakehouse; they would run directly on Parquet Delta files stored in OneLake.

Direct Data Loading: DirectLake is a fast-path to load the data from the lake straight into the Power BI engine, combining the advantages of both DirectQuery and import modes while avoiding their disadvantage
