The Benefits of DataKITE Power BI SaaS vs Microsoft Power BI Licenses

16 May 2023 · 2 min read · DataKITE

Power BI is a powerful business intelligence (BI) tool that can help organizations of all sizes to make better decisions based on data. Power BI can be used to collect, analyze, and visualize data from a variety of sources, and it offers a wide range of features and functionality.

There are two main ways to deploy Power BI: as a software as a service (SaaS) solution or as a licensed solution. DataKITE Power BI SaaS solutions are hosted and managed by DataKITE using Microsoft embedded technologies on Azure, while licensed solutions are installed and managed by Microsoft licences, typically in-house.

There are a number of benefits to using DataKITE Power BI SaaS instead of Microsoft Power BI licenses
