Not sure about an exhaustive list, but Power BI Desktop was built to work with the cloud-only service of Power BI 2.0.

Datazen has a richer set of visualizations, drill downs and is, in general, a more mature product than Power BI in a number of ways. That being said, they were purchased by Microsoft and whether it will remain a separate product or its technologies be woven into other product lines it is tough to say.
