The Power Embedded economy works like this: Instead of accessing the Power BI portal (powerbi.com), thus requiring a license for each person, your users will access the reports through the Power Tuning portal, which does not require a Microsoft account or a Power BI license, because the contracted capacity allows access to the reports through an application.
Your company contracts a dedicated capacity with Microsoft (Fabric or Embedded Capacity), through the Azure portal, we configure the system to integrate with your Power BI, using a service account from your company (created during installation), and your users will access the reports through Power Embedded instead of using the Power BI portal.
All this legally and in compliance with Microsoft, as the Embedded capabilities were created for this very purpose.
You can't use Power Embedded without a dedicated capability.
Unless you contract an F64 or higher capability, it is also not possible to use a dedicated capability to view reports without needing a Pro account for each user if you don't have an external viewing portal, such as Power Embedded.
To estimate how many users Power Embedded is cheaper than your current license, we need some information about your environment and the type of licensing you currently use.
Our support team collects information on your environment to assess in advance how our solution can achieve the maximum possible savings without losing performance, in a personalized and individual analysis for each client.
For Power BI Pro licenses, and in companies where the report does not need to be available 24 hours a day, from 15 users you can already save 50% compared to the cost of Pro licenses. If you use a Premium Per User (PPU) license, you can save up to 76%.
If you have an environment with several large reports (over 200 MB), Fabric F2 capacity may not be enough and you may need to use a larger capacity. This is assessed and discussed during the capacity analysis.
In this scenario, from 30 users you will already be saving by using Power Embedded, and the greater the number of users, the greater the savings compared to your current license.
The table below can help you visualize the scenarios when Power Embedded is more advantageous
Of course, Microsoft allows the use of Power Embedded and it is a 100% legal solution. Power Tuning has been a Microsoft Solutions Partner since 2018, and is one of the leaders in Azure sales in Brazil, and therefore has a strong relationship with Microsoft and distributor TD Synnex, and under no circumstances would it develop a product that uses any illegal license or mechanism that breaks the contract of use with Microsoft.
Power Embedded is also available to be accessed and contracted through the Azure Marketplace, which indicates a strong relationship with Microsoft to support the product.
Talking about capacity licensing, in the link below, Microsoft makes it very clear that users who are viewing content published in Power BI Embedded do not need Power BI licenses assigned to them, so a PRO license is not required to view reports through Power Embedded.
In this link here, Microsoft shows that Microsoft Fabric can also be used normally to insert reports into third-party applications without any problem.
In this link below, Microsoft makes it clear that modifying and creating reports through a portal that uses Power BI Embedded licensing does not require a PRO or PPU license to do so, and therefore modifying and creating reports through Power Embedded is fully legal and supported.
As Power Embedded is a SaaS system, you won't need to hire or manage any servers, applications or databases, you'll just be using the software as a service.
To set up Power Embedded in your company, we need the following prerequisites to be met before we can schedule the installation:
An Azure user account with permission to create the Fabric or Embedded capacity.
An Azure user account with permission to create groups and service principals in Azure AD.
Account of an Azure user with the “Fabric administrator” role to access the Power BI administration portal.
During the system installation meeting, which is held with the client, we need to provide a user with the permissions listed above or have someone from the client's team with these permissions who can share the screen and carry out the actions that will be instructed.
We always encourage companies to thoroughly test our solution to ensure that it meets and exceeds our customers' expectations.
And it is because of this commitment, and the certainty that our tool is the best on the market, that we give you 30 days FREE to import your reports, users and test the system at will.
For the first 30 days of use, counting from the date of installation, we will not charge users a monthly fee and you will only pay for the installation/configuration if you decide to continue using the tool after the 30 days.
The only cost we can't include in the free trial is capacity licensing, which is done directly with Microsoft through the Azure portal, but Microsoft releases an F64 capacity for 60 days FREE for evaluation.
Microsoft offers the ability to contract Power BI Embedded (or Fabric) through Azure, which is nothing more than a feature that allows you to generate an UNLIMITED number of tokens for embedding reports.
If you use the standard Power BI Portal, then you're still in the current scenario, where you need a Pro (or Premium per User) license for each user who publishes or views reports.
To use this type of license, which is different from all other types of Power BI licenses, you must use a web application to generate these tokens automatically and make the reports available to your users, because Microsoft does NOT provide a portal or source code for a portal ready to be used.
You can create your own portal, using a programming language, where you will implement all the code to manage users and permissions, render the reports, create the site layout, implement security, manage the application server, database, fix problems, implement new features, etc.
Another option is to hire a ready-made portal, with all this (and MUCH more) already created and ready to use, in the SaaS (Software As A Service) model, where you don't have any worries or anything to manage, you just use the system, which is updated constantly and very frequently.
Once the commercial proposal to use Power Embedded has been approved, we will contact you within 16 working hours to schedule the installation of the system, which usually takes between 20 and 60 minutes.
Remember to check that all the prerequisites for installation (topic above) have been met before scheduling the installation.
Yes, the entire system is responsive and works perfectly on mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets.
If the report has been created in Power BI Desktop with mobile layout support and the user is accessing the report via a mobile device, the report will be shown using this mobile-optimized layout, without the need to install apps (even traditional Power BI doesn't do this).
You can cancel at any time, just let us know and we'll generate and send the current month's invoice for payment.
Once payment has been cleared, we will delete all user data, imported reports, logs, etc.
