Please FIX/REVIEW your recent changes to the PRO licensing pricing structure

[djnww]

Power BI Team, Your recent changes/fixes to PRO licensing pricing has caused widespread concern and discussion amongst the community. This is due to Microsoft no longer allowing end users/consumers to access Power BI workgroup reports & dashboards. Reports were suddenly inaccessible in organisations that had built Power BI frameworks over the past 2 years. Your new structure now forces these companies to purchase PRO licenses for ALL users regardless of whether they use it or not. Unfortunately, Power BI is now the most expensive BI product for large organisations, whom I believe are your primary customers. The community has not received any feedback despite the topic being the most discussed topic in the Community Forum: (Please read the feedback to get a better understanding of the issues we face) http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Fixes-to-Power-BI-Pro-License-Required-Dialogs/m-p/131787#M19897 All we ask for is a response which we have yet to receive. Are you going to review & revisit the Licensing Structure soon due to the feedback ? Or are you sticking firmly to the changes ? Your response will help large organisations plan their BI strategy rollout.

For us, Power BI has the best ROI when compared to other Gartner Recognized BI tools. Once you hit 600 Pro user, strongly consider a Premium Sharing Server Node where content consumers don't need a Pro license. You really have to examine the cost profile across the major BI tools before deciding this is expensive, trust me, it's not too bad. And, no, I do not work for them.
