best practice to connect databases such as Neo4j, Cosmos DB

Neo4j Connector for PBI is very slow. What's the best practice to connect databases such as Neo4j, Cosmos DB, Azure ML, Mongo DB with PBI? The objective is to get a fast speed and SQL interface instead of JSON or other.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, @Anonymous 

 

To connect to Azure ML, you can invoke any Azure ML model to which you have been granted access, directly from the Power Query Editor.  To access the Azure ML models, select Azure Machine Learning button in the Home or Add Column ribbon in the Power Query Editor. Please refer to the following document for detailed operation. Connect to AI Insights in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

About the Cosmos DB connection method, please refer to the following documents. Power BI tutorial for Azure Cosmos DB connector | Microsoft Docs

 

For MongoDB API, it CANNOT be connected with Power BI connecter at this moment. The API check CAN‘T be removed even by creating support ticket. That API check has been coded to disable the interoperability between SQL API and MongoDB API to prevent many known issues mixing up two different APIs. Encourage you to feedback and vote at PowerBI Ideas and Cosmos DB API for MongoDB User Feedback so the product managers can check and consider to add it.
