Hello there,
How you doing, guys? Hope u are doing greatly.
Currently, i am examining the cons and pros between Powerpivot and tabular model.
I agree with most people, who listed "Scalabilty", "managibility", Tools...etc to illustarte that Tabular is an enterprise level solution and Powerpivot really meats some needs like Agile BI, self BI.
But one thing, I am asking why these guys , all famous BI Bloggers, oversight that actually Powerpivot presents a better user experience for end users than tabular model. Why?
The case could be , eg. I use pivot table in excel to connect tabular cube VS to connect Powerpivot.
Connecting powerpivot, pivottable reports are as quick as flying--no freeezing at all because it hits data back in local memory. On the othe hand, if pivot table connects to tabular model, it cannot aviod the round trip between excel frontend and the "Tabular Cube SSAS instance".
Is this a true statement? Curious why no persons mention this drawback when comparing both.
