Please add support for Power BI Dashboards to Power BI Report Server.

The team will be investing in the integration of the dashboards and leverage the dashboard platform of Power BI.com as the solution for this scenario

"The team will be investing in the integration of the dashboards and leverage the dashboard platform of Power BI.com as the solution for this scenario"

How can PowerBI.com be the solution for this scenario? The point is, some of us are not allowed to put our data in the cloud and pay for PowerBI Server in order to make the best use of our Microsoft stack. Are you guys trying to get all your BI customers to move to Tableau? Sure feels like it.

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

You really, really need to rethink this decision. You are effectively pushing your "non-cloud" customers to competing products with this other decisions as of late. The ReportServer product feels to me like a "teaser" product by MS to try to drive customers to their cloud based solution. Not wise MS, not wise.

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

I don't understand why you bothered releasing PowerBI Report server if your going to deliberately handicap it and remove major and critical features like dashboards.

If this is some weird way to try and force users into the cloud its very poorly thought out as the majority of customers interested in PowerBI Report Server simply cannot use the cloud for very clear regulatory reasons. Its a non option. This strategy is simply going to push them to alternative reporting solutions.

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

Charles, You may know who Chris is but unfortunately I don't, can you please be a little more inclusive and considerate when you write your responses.

I would like to add my voice to the many comments here expressing disappointment with this decision. Microsoft need to start treating the On-Prem customers with a little more consideration, and maybe reconsider the bias to Cloud deployment.

We have just made a very significant investment in SQL Sever licences and Software Assurance so that we can host our sophisticated hybrid PowerBI / SSRS business solution. We are enterprise developers, not one man band, web data analysists. We are dealing with very large volumes of confidential data, we cannot move to the cloud, and will not be pushed to the cloud by Microsoft marketing policies.

Microsoft need to take PowerBI enterprise development seriously. As Power BI matures enterprise developers will continue to grow in numbers and importance. PBI is a great product, but you are undermining our confidence in it by failing to provide a clear and complete road-map for On-Prem development.

Seriously uncool, Microsoft.

We are in a similar situation as Robert B. I cannot express it any better than he.

Global organization, highly regulated data... it's not going to the cloud.

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

Agree with the comments expressed here. My enterprise wants a product that can keep our data local & not in the cloud. Dashboards should have been a part of the development roadmap of the PowerBI Report Server from the very beginning.

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

I want to know why this request has been declined. What is the rationale behind such a decision?

Just to note, the status has now changed from Declined to Not Planned. Interesting one...

RE: Support dashboards in Power BI Report Server

I'm disappointed to hear this. Not all companies are willing to go to the cloud. This is how the competition will start chipping away at your customer base as it did the last time you let SSRS sit stagnant. Our companies ERP systems run on IBM with our reporting and smaller applications running on SQL Server Enterprise. The IBM side of the house has already hosted demos of Cognos and Watson to try and sway support for moving our analytics to the IBM platform. This will not help that fight to stay our current platform.
