Power BI to add Premium service; private dashboard is free no more
Microsoft on Wednesday announced a Premium enterprise service for its Power BI data visualization platform, including a Report Server that allows companies to keep all their data behind the firewall. Premium will offer "a capacity-based licensing model" based in part on whether users create content, access it frequently or just view it occasionally.
The company also said that Power BI users will need a paid Pro subscription if they want to create and share dashboards privately. People who want to view shared content will also need to be licensed above a level of free account. "Consumers of content shared with them have the flexibility to be licensed individually with Power BI Pro, or with capacity in Power BI Premium when it becomes generally available late this quarter," according to an e-mail from a Microsoft spokesperson.
