Hello Sandeep,

The report designer is primarily for creating reports that you will share with other users. The data explorer is primarily for exploring the data on your own.

As you noted, the explorer has some advanced visualizations that are not available in the designer. These can (mostly) be exported to a report if you want to include them in a report.

The designer has many more features for customizing your layout and creating interactions between visuals.

In the 8.1 release and later, the two interfaces are combined.

Does this help? Please feel free to follow up with any additional questions.
