Power BI Report web part for SharePoint Online Discussion
MichaelP unfortunately to ensure you don't need to sign-in to Power BI to view the report (SSO), we need some new APIs from the SharePoint team. So those APIs are what forces the web part to be First Release for Everyone. Once those APIs are in all of SharePoint Online, we can look into whether we can switch the preview for the web part to First Release for specific users.
Advocate ISo we won't be in the testing. Unfortunate.
Also, as shared by others already, the need for Power BI Pro to view Power BI reports or Dashboards in SharePoint is not acceptable.
Hopefully this constraint will be re considered and removed very soon.
Such approach is "a killing in the egg" practice. At some points our effort to market your product, might stop short soon.

This.
I totally understand the need for Power BI Pro to create content, but it's ludicrous to expect a user community to have a Power BI Pro license just to view the content that was created.
It will kill the ability for any large organization to adopt Power BI as a solution.

It's the fact that even with an E3 agreement (which is already a lot of money), it's an additional $9.99/mo/user (retail price). Do the math on that real quick, and let me know the impact to a company with 7000 employees. How's that cost-effectiveness look now? Granted, not all 7000 employees need to consume Power BI reports, but even if you halve or even quarter that number, it's still a substantial amount of money.
The other option is to negotiate an E5 agreement, which includes Power BI Pro. Not sure of the delta dollars there.
I think that Power BI content management should be one tier, and consumption another. I'm trying to drive adoption of this product in my company, but those prices slam the door on that.

I mean, what other options are there? Any comparable solutions like Tableau or Qlik Sense have the same restriction and their prices are significantly higher than Power BI Pro is... Qlik Sense asks $1,500 per user and then 23% of that per year! Power BI Pro for all users is pennies compared to the competition.... if i'm wrong please feel free to enlighten me as i'd love a more cost effective solution, but at the moment in the market it seems PowerBI is by far the cheapest solution even if all users need Pro.

I'm not argueing that it's a lot of money, i'm argueing that comperable solutions are a more substantial investment by a significant margin (in my reserach / experience). Have you looked at similar solutions and received pricing from them?

Consider this. We're not trying to do anything different than if we put a link to the report. The report would be a non-pro report, and users would see it displayed. Saving ONE CLICK is not worth paying for a PowerBI pro license. Surely you must see that?
