Workspace (PowerBI) vs Site (Tableau)

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had used Power BI and Tableau.

In Tableau server you can create projects and folders and determine permissions. To be very very secure you can create a site. This is especially useful if you are working with multiple clients data and want to make sure everything is as separate as possible.

As far as I can tell the nearest thing in Power BI Report Server/Power BI Service would be a Workspace.

Would I be correct?

If so I am wondering how secure this would be compared to the Tableau alternative

Thanks in advance
Phil

    philfer88 A workspace is a completely isolated logical security entity. So, it is as secure as you make it since you assign users who can access the workspace. If you assign a group like "Everyone" then not so secure.
