I echo all of these comments. The management at my organziation (legal) was esctatic when they heard about the on-premise version at one of the CXO conferences they attended. It was the only way for me to get the buy in to upgrade from SSRS; however, it was so limited compared to the marketed release information for Power BI. Subscriptions don't even work still... every feature update that's listed on the site sounds great, but no mention of the Report server. For many of the REST and other services items why is the Azure Stack platform not a viable option since it's an on-prem cloud using Azure services. We legitimately cannot put our client data in the cloud, but also need the product to be mature enough to invest in it over Tableau and other platforms.

Hi alliedcvil,

 

All good points, I'm worried that Microsoft are not listening to us, there has been no recent attempt to reply to this thread or any of the others concerning the release schedule. Seems the Cloud version is getting all the attention.

 

PowerBI is a great tool, but it needs to be a great tool for the Enterprise Developer, not just the single man data analysis users, who may use it instead of Excel. We are building an innovative operations and performance dashboard for our mobile field workers and their managers. We are getting great results and much appreciative feedback from our users, but we need the improvements to keep coming. The last release of Report Server was Oct 2017, its now Feb 2018, we are 4 releases behind the Cloud product, and still no indication of when we might expect the next update.

 

Come on Microsoft at least acknowledge our questions! You must have a release date you are working to? Riccardo Muli has not posted on the subject since August 2017, Riccardo are you still the PM for Report Server, let us know you are still there!

 

Regards

Rob
