Power BI vs Data Warehouse

Hi All, 

 

I was reading this great community thread on the pros/cons of a data warehouse vs Power BI. 

 

http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Power-Bi-vs-Data-Warehouse/m-p/78650#M32787

 

I was wondering about what the latest perspective is on whether Power BI can/should be used as a replacement for a data warehouse?

 

Our business stores < 5 million rows of data and I'm interested in perspectives on whether similar sized organisations have adopted Power BI as their primary data management tool or whether they/you use it on top of a data warehouse? We're considering investing in a SSAS tabular set-up which seems great for highly normalised coprorate reporting but means we can't tap into some of the visualisation and integration tools available in the Power BI environment. 

 

Is there a road map, or indication, describing the future relationship between SSAS Tabular and Power BI? 

 

Thanks
