Currently Power BI Report Builder has a limited set of data connectors. Given that this tool is included with Power BI Premium, the data connectors available should closely mirror those available in Power BI desktop. The same Database connectors available in Power BI Desktop ( cloud and On prem) should at minimum be available in Report Builder, to truly compliment the Power BI service, beyond the few core DBs currently available. Core cloud based online services connectors should also be made available in Report Builder, such as Salesforce,Google/Adobe Analytics,Dynamics,Marketo,MS Exchange,Sharepoint etc..at minimum the ones with a large user base. Enhancing the connector offering in Report Builder would go a long way and improve adoption.

As far as I know dataflows cannot be connected as a data source in a Paginated Report yet. If I am wrong, please let me know. :)
