Super UserRegarding Power BI Report Server licensing:
You have two options:
-
SQL Server Enterprise Edition with Software Assurance (SA) ā includes rights to use Power BI Report Server.
-
Power BI Premium Per Capacity ā purchasing a P SKU (like P1) also entitles you to deploy and use Report Server.
From real experience:
I worked on a project with Power BI Report Server, and honestly, the experience is much smoother than people expect at first.
The work process is very similar to Power BI Desktop, with a few important differences:
-
Some newer features are not available, especially Preview features like Field Parameters.
-
Tip: Always stay at least two versions behind the latest Report Server release. New releases can have issues, better to wait for stable versions.
-
Refreshing reports is managed through the server, similar to SSRS.
-
Deployment: Instead of "Publish," you save or upload the
.pbixfiles directly to the Report Server.
