Power BI, Developer and Databases

[Krc721]

Hello all,

I am learning Power BI to take over some duties at work.  I have heard conflicting accounts on Power BI "containing" a database.  I didn't anything that indicated it contained one but could connect and pull data from one.  Can anyone confirm?

Is there a developer license and what additional features does that provide over regular user Power BI?

Is there any comparison between why one would use Power BI over say, Tableau?

What is the best way to come up to speed on features? 

Thank you in advance!

I sent you a message. You can come Up to speed and learn about power bi here - https://app.powerbi.com/learn?clientSideAuth=0&experience=power-bi Tableau is good but Power BI is more dynamic since it interfaces well with Microsoft products and there is more scalable infrastructure there.
