Small to Medium sized company

Hi All,

 

My company is thinking of using Power BI, we cannot afford Power BI premium, we have large data (way more than 1GB limit for Power BI pro for per DataSet). We need to refersh daily. Our IT is currently developing from an old Pick Database to AWS Redshift.  

 

Is there a solution, which does not involve paying £3k+ per month, for DataSet, Reports that may go over 1GB and can have decent report reponse times, or is this more for someone like Qlik Sense etc...

 

Regards,

Mathew

@v-cherch-msftthank you for your reply

 

We don't have Office 365 (yep we have disks, with Office 2007 to 2016). 

 

On the link I noted Power BI embedded, we don't have  Sharepoint, so unsure how this would work.  Am I right that the Azure Power BI Embedded is just the hourly cost, when in use and then a Power BI pro licence.

 

    It seems like this could be the cheapest solution, but it appears to require a some JavaScript or other coding, is that correct?

 

Again thank you for your time.  It's a pitty there is not a better process with Power BI, it does seem if you are small, Power BI pro is fine, if you are a large company then Power BI Premium is the route.  It appears the options for Small-Medium companies are either low cost (low data reports), or high cost for large data reports.

 

   We could do with a better middle ground

 

Cheers

Mathew
