Microsoft Data Management Gateway vs Power BI Gateway

[POWERShawn]

What is the difference between Microsoft Data Management Gateway and Power BI Gateway?

@POWERShawn From my understanding the "Data Management Gateway" was the gateway used for the first release of Power BI when it was part of SharePoint online... "Power BI for Office 365". I thought this product was discontinued...

For Power BI (currently) use either the personal or On Premises Data Gateway that you can download from the PBI Service. (or it re-directs you to the right one. I don't know if Azure still uses that gateway, and I know there are several gateways out there depending on what you are using (which is confusing). The end goal will most likely be to consolidate all these gateways to just one, but in the interim, stick with the PBI one's you can get from the Service to avoid confusion.

Documentation says Azure data factory can use data mamangement gateway for connections to onpremise applications. Can data factory use power BI gateways also?
