differences between powerbi.com and report server?
Hi please excuse the double posting in both these forums, but i am just trying to get an idea of the main differences between using only the on prem solution vs the cloud in terms of functionality.
The differences i have so far are the following, is there anything else you can add to this?
| Power BI Report Server | Power BI .Com |
| No Subscriptions | Can subscribe to reports when udpated |
| Is only refeshable with SSAS | Refreshable with any source |
| no data driven alerts | data driven alerts |
vanessafvg The Report Server will soon have support for more datasources, the team has blogged about this. Think of the Report Server functionality as supporting reports that come from the Desktop, that's it. The Service will have all the advanced features that probably won't ever make it to the Report Server. Natural Language Q&A, Quick Insights, Alerts, Power Apps integration, streaming, etc. But on the same track, The PBI Report Server has capabilities not in the Service. Basically all the functionality and capabilities of SSRS in its new form.
