As your trusted partner, we create detailed and insightful reports using Power BI, tailored specifically to your business data. Our expertise lies in integrating DATEV data, but we also work with a variety of other data sources to provide you with a comprehensive overview of your business performance. A common question our clients have is: Which Power BI license do you need to make the most of our reports? In this blog post, we will answer this question for you.
1. Our Customized Power BI Reports
Our reports are designed to give you deep insights into your company data. By using your data—whether from DATEV or other systems—we create interactive dashboards and analyses to help you make informed decisions. Since the main purpose of these reports is to provide you with an easy-to-understand overview of your data, the level of interaction required is often minimal.
2. Is Power BI Free Sufficient for You?
Yes, in many cases, the Power BI Free version is sufficient for our clients. If your primary need is to view the reports we create, apply filters, and explore the data without extensive collaboration or sharing features, the free version of Power BI will meet your requirements. Here's what you can expect with Power BI Free:
View Reports Locally: You can open and interact with the reports we send you on your local machine using Power BI Desktop.
Basic Filtering: The free version allows you to apply basic filters to the reports, enabling you to explore different aspects of your data without the need for more advanced features.
No Extra Costs: Since Power BI Free is available at no cost, it is a practical choice for businesses that need to review and interpret data without the need for complex interactions or cloud-based sharing.
3. When to Consider Other Licenses?
While Power BI Free covers the needs of most of our clients who primarily view and lightly interact with the reports, there are situations where you might benefit from upgrading:
Power BI Pro: If you want to share reports in the cloud, collaborate with team members, or receive automatic data refreshes in the Power BI Service, a Pro license would be recommended.
Power BI Premium: For larger organizations with a high number of users or more complex data processing needs, Power BI Premium offers advanced capabilities and more flexibility.
4. Does the Online Version Cover Your Needs?
If your team members need only to view and interact with reports through basic filters, Power BI Free allows them to access reports locally on their desktops. For teams that require real-time collaboration and sharing via the cloud, the Power BI Pro or Premium versions would be more appropriate. However, in most scenarios where the interaction is minimal and focused on reading and interpreting the data, the free version is sufficient.
Conclusion
For many of our clients, Power BI Free provides all the necessary tools to access and interact with the reports we create. It allows you to explore data and apply filters without the need for additional costs. However, if your needs evolve and you require more collaborative features, we can guide you in selecting the right upgrade to enhance your data experience.
