Power BI provides a native, true, out-of-the-box commenting capability. It supports report-level and visual-level commenting including @mentions and collaborative conversations. However, data-level commenting is not possible.
Data-level commentary is very common in real-life scenarios. Inforiver delivers out-of-the-box and user-friendly notes, annotations, and comments to Power BI users using a no-code user experience. Key highlights of the commentary solution delivered by Inforiver are summarized below:
Both notes & comments in Inforiver are dynamic – in that, they are tied to a specific data point, row or measure. Filtering the report makes the comment appear at the appropriate location – as it is always tied to the data.
But the similarities stop there. Notes & Comments in Inforiver are different in the following ways:
You can respond to a comment, but not to a note.
Comments are collaborative, while notes are only used to annotate/provide additional context to data
Commentary needs users to be authenticated with Office365 and hence is available only with Inforiver Enterprise. Notes are supported in both Inforiver Matrix and Enterprise.
