If you have the Budget to go for Power BI premium definately go for PBI Premium . If the sizing of the model and dataset is the on the only issue you are trying to solve than AAS might be a better option .

As per microsoft "
Power BI Premium is the focus for enterprise BI and the primary target for future investments. In time, Power BI Premium will provide a superset of the capabilities when compared to Azure Analysis Services.
The clear future direction is Power BI Premium

This blog should help .

Hi Anonymous ,

With a few exceptions, Power BI Premium provides a superset of the capabilities available in Azure Analysis Services. In time, these exceptions will be eliminated making Power BI Premium a clearly superior choice when considering capabilities alone.

Power BI is probably the better option.

Here's why.

Power BI Premium provides dedicated and enhanced resources to run the Power BI service for your organization. For example:

Greater scale and performance
Flexibility to license by capacity
Unify self-service and enterprise BI
Extend on-premises BI with Power BI Report Server
Support for data residency by region (Multi-Geo)
Share data with anyone without purchasing a per-user license

You should add Tableau to the mix. I'd still prefer Power BI over Tableau though.

Hi there

It does depend if you are looking at all the Power BI Premium features.

Or if you are looking for a larger dataset size for your model.
