Connecting to Data

Hi Anonymous ,

The Enterprise Data Gateway provided by Power BI is completely free to download and use.You don't need a license.

The primary role of the Enterprise Data Gateway is to act as a bridge that allows the Power BI Service to access our on-premises data sources

Enterprise gateways are divided into standard gateways and personal gateways.

In general, we recommend using an enterprise gateway, which is more powerful and allows users to share the gateway.

The following are the main differences between the two types of gateways:

​	standard gateway​	personal gateway​
Support for multiple users​	YES​	NO​
Support cloud services​	Support PowerBI、PowerAPPs、Power Automate and so on​	Only support PowerBI​
In what mode​	Service​	Application​
Whether a cluster can be created​	YES​	NO​
Whether a key is required​	YES​	NO​
Support for link mode​	all mode​	only support import mode​
Whether can migrate,restore,take over gateway​	YES​	NO​
Whether non-computer administrators can install​	NO​	YES​
