>From what I understand, in order to benefit from on-premises support, we need to use Power BI Report Server. Thus, this makes corporate data to remain on site. It is not sent across the net. Then, when we compare the benefits between that one and Power BI Service, we rapidly discover that a lot of features are not supported in Power BI Report Server. It is known that many corporations do not allow data to navigate across the net. Strict security forces the data to remain on site. Thus, we need local servers. Data for the reports are local and remain within the domain users who access it either physically connected to the network or through VPN.

>Thus, how it is possible to use Power BI to support local reports if most of the features are not supported?

>First of all, dashboards are not even supported. Advanced users cannot create reports on the web. Automatic refresh is not supported. And, yes, we are local. So, I really don't understand all this restriction. Usually, when we have a local server, we do not have more options. This doesn't seem to be the case here. I do understand Microsoft and other providers want everyone to be on the cloud. But, during these days, many are still local.

I developed and published both of Power BI Pro (Cloud) and enterprise (on-premise). There wasn't any restrict about on-premise edition and it has auto-refresh feature. What made you think on-premise edition hasn't auto refresh feature? Actually on-premise edition doesn't have auto-refresh feature because it has data every time and when you want to run report it get data from server. We had SQL server batchs to send report data to Power BI on-premise edition datawarehouse periodically. Or you can decide to don't use a datawarehouse and your Power BI reports get live-data when yo run report. You have all options with on-premise (Enterprise edition) edition.
