John Kerski notes a pain point:
“I hate to tell you this, but it’s not available for us yet.” This is an all-too-common phrase I find myself saying to customers in U.S. Sovereign Cloud tenants who come across new features in search engine results only to find they’re not available in our regions. For those unfamiliar, U.S. Sovereign Cloud regions allow U.S. government, public sector, and other highly regulated entities to use the cloud with the security, compliance, and data sovereignty required by their organizations.
If you do a search for “sovereign cloud,” you will find that most of the cloud providers have their own Sovereign Cloud if you are interested in the concept for any other cloud services you need to use. In this article, I am going to look specifically at how you extend this support to Power BI, and make a few suggestions for how I think it could work better.
I call John’s pains and raise him “We can only use Power BI Report Server here.”
“We can only use Power BI Report Server here”
much cheaper too
just no AI stuff
Just no 75% of what makes Power BI good. I’ve had to work with PBIRS at two organizations and the limitations are astounding. Just off the top of my head, for recent problems:
– Want drillthrough? Too bad.
– I could use visual calculations in this instance. Except no, RS doesn’t support them.
– No bookmarks means I can’t easily direct people to specific pages.
I’ve run into a dozen or so other limitations that make things painful because I know there’s an easy solution to the problem, but I can’t use it because I’m stuck on Power BI’s red-headed step-child.
