Power BI Mobile Dashboard vs Tableau

[PBI_V2]

Hello All,

As public user, when we open power BI mobile dashboard into a mobile browser. it is opening as Web version only. We would like to check if tableau or any other tool will have the functionality to create Mobile dashboard and will open as Mobile version when a user open the report in mobile browser.

Thanks,

PBI V2

Hello @PBI_V2,

When it comes to creating and viewing mobile dashboards, both Power BI and Tableau offer great solutions, though they approach the mobile experience differently. Here's my take:

Power BI

• Power BI provides a native mobile app available for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. The app is designed to display reports and dashboards in a mobile-friendly format.
• Within Power BI Desktop, you can design reports specifically for mobile view.
• When opening a Power BI report in a mobile browser without using the Power BI mobile app, it defaults to the web version.

Tableau

• Similar to Power BI, Tableau offers a native mobile app for iOS and Android devices
• Tableau dashboards can automatically adjust to fit mobile screens.

If your requirement is for dashboards to open in an optimized mobile version directly in a browser, without relying on a native app, Tableau might have a slight edge due to its responsive design capabilities.
