The 2 latest options to integrate PowerBI into a SharePoint page are as follows:
a) Power BI Rest APIs - https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-developer-integrate-report/
b) SharePoint Add-ins - http://rolandoldengarm.com/index.php/2016/05/11/part-2-embed-a-power-bi-report-in-a-sharepoint-site/
Are there any significant advantage/disadvantages of chosing one over the other?
Thanks in advance!
The option b is 3rd-party and the underlying code seems just basing on option a.
The advantage for option b would be easier approach for Sharepoint development while the disadvantage would be update latency(as it is 3rd-party) if there's new feature released.
Not a big difference between those two options, in my opinion.
Check out the November 2025 Power BI update to learn about new features.
