Key Features
- Desktop authoring: Build models with Power Query and DAX then design reports locally
- Cloud sharing: Publish to workspaces with apps permissions and row level security
- Premium per user: Unlock larger models more refreshes and advanced governance
- Embedded analytics: Deliver white labeled reports to your apps with APIs and tokens
- Microsoft Fabric: Integrate with data engineering and real time workloads
- Security and compliance: Leverage AAD
- Experiment tracking: Log metrics and hyperparameters to compare runs and reproduce results across machines and teammates
- Artifacts and datasets: Version artifacts and datasets so training inputs and outputs remain traceable over time
- Collaboration workspace: Share dashboards and reports so teams align on model performance and release decisions
- System integration: Integrate logging into training code so observability is automatic not a manual reporting step
- Cloud or self hosted: Official pricing describes cloud hosted plans and self hosting for infrastructure control needs
- Governance at scale: Paid plans support org needs like security controls and larger team workflows
Use Cases
- Enable self service analytics with governed workspaces
- Publish department apps that bundle curated reports and datasets
- Embed interactive reports into customer portals and ISV products
- Modernize Excel workflows with shared semantic models
- Scale to larger memory refresh and concurrency with Premium
- Secure sensitive data using AAD RLS and sensitivity labels
- Training visibility: Track experiments across models and datasets to find what improved accuracy and what caused regressions
- Hyperparameter search: Compare sweeps and runs to identify stable settings without losing configuration context
- Artifact lineage: Trace a model back to the dataset and code version used for training and evaluation evidence
- Team reporting: Publish dashboards for leadership that summarize progress and quality metrics over a release cycle
- Production debugging: Compare production failures with training runs to isolate data shift and pipeline differences
- Self hosted governance: Deploy self hosted W&B when policy requires tighter control of data access and storage
