Unique about Power BI
chandramouli From my point of view it would be for the following reasons:
1. Self - Service BI tool meaning easy to start with for any novice user be it BA, PM or any Data Analyst
2. Support to wide range of connectors (50+) and visualisation (custom as well in build)
3. Power BI Q&A feature which is a uniuqe functionality
4. Groups & collaboration with O365, Content Packs, Gateways, RLS using Tabular/ MD models, etc.
Apart, its cheaper and development tool is free available for download as compared to few other tools in market.
Many of the points I must have missed, but these are few which I think makes Power BI really unique ! Hope this helps !

Hi Ashishrj,
Appreciate your detailed response!...I have a question for you ....
Suppose I use a power BI free version and create a report/dashboard ....I cannot share it with the executives as the file will have the visualization filters and fields along with it in the file.....(meaning it would be a develo[er version)
Unlike a Tableau where I can share the dashboard to executives using Tableau reader... Does power BI pro have any features that helps achieve the same... Asish i would love to hear your thoughts on this....
You can publish it to Power BI Service and use Publish to Web.
Hello Smoupre,

Thanks,
Arun
In Desktop, choose File | Publish. This will publish your report to the Service. Go into the Service and open the report in the Reports section. Choose File | Publish to Web. Send your exec's the link to the report.
