Microsoft EmployeeFixes to Power BI Pro License Required Dialogs
Impactful IndividualHi mim,
Do you realise that Tableau server is significantly more expensive ? I did costing for 300 users. Power BI will cost us $50k p/yr for PREMIUM, which is scalable up to about 1600 users.
Tableau, on the other hand, is about $400k for 300 users. Not sure how much they charge for 1600 users. Ongoing fees are 20% each year. Also, Tableau is not an Enterprise reporting solution. It's standalone and doesn't integrate with Microsoft (Azure, Office, Dynamics, Sharepoint etc) products like Power BI can.
I am not defending Microsoft. I am upset with the changes myself because. I have done a lot of due diligence and tested many products before hand.
Advocate Vdjnww I know about Tableau server cost, I am talking about the combination of Tableau desktop/reader.
here is my take, I think this whole new BI solutions are overrated, why really every one needs real time, web based solution, from my experience not all users need this kind of sophistications, 90 % are happy with static PDF, I struggled with users just to tell them how to click on a slicer.
I am just a business users, and what i am pushing for the next BI solution is SSAS Tabular Standard and Excel as a visualisation layer, and if some users want to see those fancy cross highliting charts they can use PowerBI desktop.
ps : PowerBI desktop do not print, show stopper!!, Tableau reader do print.
