Hi Mike. I think my book explains well scenarios where pure self-service BI makes sense. Based on my experience, the best self-service BI happens when there is a semantic layer. About Tableau, I have a 3-part blog about Power BI vs Tableau. The question is how they plan to use it. Again, I’m a big fan of a semantic layer. If you have this, the choice for a reporting tool becomes insignificant. In fact, you can use any tool as a presentation layer: Excel, Power BI, Tableau.

For a company with 350 would your recommend the self serv then?
My 2nd question is in regards to Microsoft BI vs Tableau. Do you ever recommend Tableau? Thanks for your help. Mike

The book was updated with changes that were introduced since the first edition (since mid-December 2016).

What’s been updated in v.2? I’ve got v.1 and am trying to decide if I need this version or should wait for a possible v.3 – or supplement my v.1 hardcopy with an ebook.
Thanks for our thoughts.

Hi David,
I’m not an expert in licensing or attorney but it looks like this clause applies to media elements on powerbi.com. I don’t see any clause that prevents distributing files in the licensing agreement (License.rtf) that is installed in C:Program FilesMicrosoft Power BI Desktop.
