Performance and memory leak issue - PBIRS Jan 2022

Hello, I'm also still waiting for a new fixed version. I'm checking out the status and the new ETA, I will let know. Currently I must reset RSPowerBI every 30min which causes other problems. But without restarts PBIRS is not usable.

Terrible.

I work for an international company, and I am responsible for Power BI in two countries with 10,000 employees, and with 3,000 active Power BI RS consumers. And everyone is upset about these problems.

I have been solving this problem since the end of February, and I think it is a critical problem (in the case of large deployments). I entered the ticket in March, and the first reaction was that it was a "this is a design issue", with the ticket being archived and not addressed. After the escalation, they confirmed that it is a "bug", but the fix will be in the next version. I'm waiting, we're all waiting more than three months to fix a critical bug!

And this is not the only problem in PBIRS, but it is one critical issue.

I think MS's approach to enterprises is terrible (in the case of Power BI), it's not just about bugs, but also about missing features. While Cloud Power BI has tons of new features every month. On-prem Power BI RS released once every 4 months does not bring any new essential features. The on-prem Power BI RS lacks many key features for enterprises, compared to the Power BI cloud, but also compared to competing solutions.

I know that 1000 individual Power BI cloud users are more important (and more publicly visible) than one company with 10,000 users. But that's no reason to ignore the enterprise segment.

I understand the "Cloud-first" strategy, but currently it's more like "Cloud only, forget on-premises".

Also, Gartner, in their latest Magic quadrant for BI platforms, criticizes Microsoft for "... Microsoft's on-premises offering lacks significant functional capabilities ..."

What do you think about it?
