I have a rdl report build with Power BI report builder and it's embedding on web with Power BI embedded SKU A2. It render very slow.
I'm wondering if I change this report to SSRS, will it be faster?
The size of a SSRS Report RDL file is quite small as it does not contain all the data from the data sources, so SSRS report render fast compared to Power BI paginated reports. It’s difficult to choose between SSRS and Power BI report builder it depends on what solution you are aiming for from the business intelligence tool. You can continue using Power BI by optimizing report and make it render fast.

We have SSRS reports on the SSRS server.
I'm exploring moving to Power BI and this question is to ask whether post the Power BI report server installation whether I still need yo keep the SSRS installation?
The requirement is to be able to have an on prem reporting server that can be used to publish following reports:
Power BI visualization reports
Power BI paginated reports
SSRS reports
If all the above are supported by PBI Report server?, then I can skip installing SSRS?
I have few business reports in Pentaho and it seems that these should be moved into a different platform altogether. These reports have measures, there's bar representation and look quite complex.
The options available are Power BI and SSRS.
My question is to understand if there are any plugins available in SSRS or PowerBi for me to import the files from Pentaho directly or should have to build these from scratch?
We have lots of SSRS reports. We are planning to migrate those to Azure but found it is not supported. Does Power BI support SSRS reports? If yes, can we use Power BI reports in asp.Net application like we can load SSRS reports in report viewer in asp.net?
Power BI has what Microsoft is branding Paginated Reports. Its functionality within Power BI to support the RDL format from SSRS. You will need Power BI premium to get that feature though.
As far as using report view in .Net I am not sure. Since this is a rather new feature of Power BI there isn't a wealth of resources about it. I was able to find this documentation about embedding a paginated report.
Power BI Premium does support SSRS reports, called Paginated Reports to separate them from the standard Power BI Reports.
However Paginated Reports will have some feature gaps, for example sub-reports has only just been implemented in Paginated Reports.
In terms of designing paginated reports, the Report designer is the same interface and style. You can embedded both the Power BI and the Paginated reports into a asp.net application, by using the Power BI Embedded API
I have an on-promise server and published a sample powerbi report on SSRS, then I called the report inside reportviewer control (in my asp web application), but I am getting below error, can any one please help me with it?
The operation you are attempting on item '/XXXX' is not allowed for
this item type. (rsWrongItemType)،
The Report Viewer Control only suports paginated rdl reports. If you are using SSRS preview with Power BI support the best option for embedding is an iFrame.
I am using Report Builder 3.0 in order to connect to SSRS report server http://mosaic.catex.com/reportserver.
Is there a way to use Power BI to connect to SSRS report server instead?
Thanks
Answering the question that was originally asked: there's no way to connect Power BI Desktop to SSRS Report Server. Power BI Report Server is another matter, but your question predates its release so that is very unlikely to be what you're asking about.
Power BI Desktop (which I presume you mean when you say Power BI) and Report Builder (pictured in your question) are different tools used to build different types of reports. There's no overlap between them and they're not interchangeable.
There's also no way to use an SSRS report as a data source in Power BI (as Alan mentions), though I wouldn't recommend doing this even if it were possible. In SSRS 2016, there is a way to pin SSRS report elements to a Power BI dashboard (as Snowlockk mentions), but I'm not sure that's what you meant by "dashboard" in your comment. The functionality is somewhat limited too (since you need to be running SSRS 2016, and you can only pin chart/gauge/map/picture elements).
When asking if something can be done, it's always helpful to say exactly what you're trying to accomplish just in case it can't be done the way you're asking about, but it can be done another way.
