Analysis service over Power BI embeded

Hello,

We experience performance problems with our current Power BI embeded capacity. We are currently running everything on our embeded capacity, but are looking into other solution to handle more users.

By moving our data model to Azure Analysis Service, will we then be able to handle more users?

Hello @Mathias Pabst Lassen Andersen

We experience performance problems with our current Power BI embeded capacity.

Could you please help with adding more on this Performance issue? what kind of scenario are we facing here?

Is it only related to handle more users?

Can you please let us know what is the current capacity chosen for your Power Bi Embeded?

It is important to note that moving your data model to Azure Analysis Services may come with additional costs compared to Power BI Embedded. Azure Analysis Services offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model, which can be more expensive if you have a lot of users or data. It's important to consider the costs and benefits of each option before making a decision.

On the other hand we see the topic on : Migrate from Azure Analysis Services to Power BI Premium please see the 'Cost comparison' section.

Hi

To add more context, then we are currently running an A3. We scalled up to an A3 about 1 month ago, in order to fix our performance issues, but we still have overload. Our data model is around 1,5gb in size. The problem is when user interacts with our reports, then we have overload on our capacity. We are currently trying to optimize our data model, to make querying faster, but we also need to support more users at the same time. With our current setup, if 4 users interact with our reports, then we have overload.

We are thinking about, moving our data model to Azure Analysis Service, as it seems like we can get more RAM gb for the same price as our embeded capacity and then just use our embeded capacity as a front end. Please let us now your thoughts on that matter.

Thank you for providing additional context to your query.

Yes, Moving your data model to Azure Analysis Services can help you handle more users and improve performance. Azure Analysis Services provides more RAM for the same price as your embedded capacity, which can help improve performance. It can handle large data volumes and complex data models, making it an ideal solution for your scenario.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Thanks. Just a follow up question

By moving our data model to Azure Analysis Service, will we then be able to scale down our Power BI Embeded Capacity?

Hello @Mathias Pabst Lassen Andersen

Good Question!

By using Azure Analysis Services as a back-end for your data model, you can also take advantage of its scalability and performance capabilities. You can easily scale up or down based on your needs, without having to worry about performance issues. This can help you optimize your costs and ensure that you are only paying for the resources you need.

It's worth noting that the specific impact on your Power BI embedded capacity will depend on your specific usage patterns and requirements. I would recommend testing your data model on Azure Analysis Services to see how it performs and how much load it can handle. Based on your testing results, you can then decide how much capacity you need for your Power BI embedded capacity.

Since Azure Analysis Services can handle large data volumes and complex data models, you can offload some of the processing and querying tasks from your Power BI embedded capacity to Azure Analysis Services.

I hope this helps, let me know if we can close this case?
