Power BI SQL Server 2016 SE or EE?

[MangoJuice]

Hi,

May be this question asked before, but I can't find the answer for it...Please help!

Do we need to have SQL Server 2016 EE to use POWER BI on-premise SSRS report feature or SQL Server 2016 SE is also have this feature?

We checked out most of BI functions in new SQL Server 2016 between SE and EE are kind of same( for small-mid size company).

The one thing was DATAZEN for mobile report, but we are planning to use SQL Server SE and Power BI to eliminate that gap...

Please share your thoughts on this....

Thanks.

MangoJuice.

Hi @MangoJuice,

I have searched on the related document, but haven't found some detail description about this.(the released software also not mention the version limit of sql server)

Perhaps you can take a look at below blog about technical preview.
