The Power BI Pivot

  • Comments posted to this topic are about the item The Power BI Pivot

  • Of course the cost is very important but on its face the new Report Server  looks like EXACTLY what our organization needs to move forward with Power BI.  The primary problem it appears to resolve is that we would no longer need to find a way to move huge datasets to the cloud  (for dozens and dozens of customers) and update them.  It may solve the problem of confidentiality as well. 
    This feels like “WOO HOO” news to me.  I sure hope it works out.

  • By pricing it this high (for our under 40 people company the estimate is $6.5K a month) Microsoft can only get big corporations on board.
    It's just too expensive for a tool that has at the most a secondary role to play in a small-to-average size business.
    We pay almost the same amount for our investment management system.
    I doubt the leadership of the company would agree to spend so much on a reporting system that won't be even primary one. Our reports are more complicated and need to be more interactive than PowerBI can deliver.
