Frequently Asked Questions
Most seasoned users look for alternatives like Reveal, as Power BI embedded has complex licensing, requires an Azure dependency, per-user licensing, premium tier upgrades, and additional infrastructure costs—leading to 2x, 3x, or even 4x the original cost over time. Many businesses experience unexpected expenses due to complex pricing structures and feature restrictions that require costly upgrades.
In contrast, Reveal has been built with scalability and cost-efficiency in mind. We offer flat-rate pricing for predictable costs, eliminating per-user fees and hidden expenses. Reveal provides enterprise-grade analytics without forcing premium-tier upgrades—ensuring businesses get AI-powered insights, real-time data processing, and seamless scalability at a fraction of the cost.
Being Azure-dependent, implementing Power BI Embedded into your app requires a solid understanding of Azure services, authentication protocols, and Power BI’s API. Also, developers must manage licensing, workspaces, and security settings.
Solution: Reveal offers true embedded SDK with a streamlined API, making integration significantly easier. The best part is that there are absolutely no external dependencies. This flexibility allows developers to integrate analytics seamlessly into their applications without being locked into the Microsoft ecosystem.
Reveal offers comprehensive guides, vast API documentation, tutorials, and dedicated support, ensuring a smooth development experience. Reveal is also designed with developer flexibility in mind, offering SDKs for Angular, React, JavaScript, .NET, and more, giving full control over integration and customization.
However, integrating Power BI embedded is much more complex, especially for developers unfamiliar with Microsoft technologies. Its dependency on Azure and the need for additional licensing at almost every step are huge barriers to customization and integration into Microsoft external applications.
Reveal offers transparent and affordable pricing options, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. You can leverage its robust analytics capabilities without worrying about hidden costs or complexities in pricing structures. This affordability ensures that you can deliver data-driven insights without breaking the budget.
In contrast, Power BI Embedded follows a complex pricing structure based on capacity tiers. It also demands “Azure tax,” licensing for users, and many other additional costs, requiring ongoing cost monitoring—quickly becoming a scaling nightmare.
While Power BI Embedded offers a variety of chart types, users often find the visual design options restrictive. Customizing dashboards to match specific branding, themes, or UX requirements can be challenging, often requiring workarounds or third-party tools.
Reveal offers full white labeling, enabling complete UI customization to seamlessly blend with your app. Easily modify fonts, colors, and themes, while Reveal’s flexible API integration ensures dashboards match your application’s look and feel without limitations.
Power BI Embedded offers scalability, but at a cost—prices increase 2x, 3x, or even 4x as you grow. Its complex pricing model and feature restrictions force businesses into expensive upgrades, leading to unexpected costs at every growth milestone. Reveal delivers unlimited scalability with a predictable, fixed price—no hidden fees, no forced upgrades, and seamless growth without unexpected costs.
Power BI Embedded users often report slow performance, lag, and crashes when handling large datasets or running complex queries. Data refresh times can also be slow, especially when pulling data from multiple sources.
Reveal, built for enterprise-scale performance, ensures speed and efficiency at any data volume. It delivers real-time querying for instant insights, data pre-aggregation to optimize loading times, and lazy loading for smooth performance—even with massive datasets. With seamless integration across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, Reveal keeps your dashboards fast, responsive, and ready for real-time decision-making.
