With Power BI you basically have three different components:
Power BI Online (SaaS)
Power BI Desktop
Power BI Mobile app
These are broken down like the following:
This is the traditional dashboard view which shows you the information as a visual representation. You can look at Power BI service to view dashboards and reports. This is where all the complexity is abstracted as just shows the general user-interface which is accessible for everyone.
Power BI Desktop is like the power behind the service. It's here where you do all the number crunching and configuration to generate business reports that are then shown in the service.
So Power BI Desktop = Makes the reports
For the Power BI Mobile, you can monitor sales progress and help salespeople track quotas or discover leads for potential sales.
