✏️ Explanatory Question
The recommended and Microsoft-supported approach is to use the Dataverse connector in Power BI for standard reporting scenarios.
However, if performance, large datasets, or near real-time analytics are key requirements, then using Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse with Azure Synapse Analytics is considered a more scalable and enterprise-grade solution.
Best Practice Guidance:
✅ For small to medium datasets → Use Dataverse connector directly in Power BI
✅ For large datasets / performance-critical reporting → Use Azure Synapse Link
✅ For enterprise analytics architecture → Synapse + Dedicated/Serverless SQL Pool + Power BI
