Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"Microsoft Power BI is a powerful tool with many capabilities, but my favorite feature is its data modeling, which links tables together and allows teams to gain insights for KPIs by modeling data differently to meet various requirements."

"Power BI, once made available, can connect to various data sources, irrespective of the application, whether it be HR or business applications. The bank has many applications, but all eventually need to generate reports for tracking, distribution, or problem-finding based on analysis. Power BI was made available as part of the productivity suite to all businesses, which can connect to their applications and provide the reports and analysis they require."

"You can integrate Microsoft Power BI with various other solutions like Intune."

"We have found the solution to be stable."

"It is in the cloud, which makes it easy for mobile access of reports and data."

"The stability is good."

"Good reporting and data analysis tool that's user-friendly, easy to deploy, stable, and scalable."

"Microsoft BI's dashboards are helpful."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."

"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."

"Regarding real-time analytics features in Microsoft Power BI, I don't find them particularly useful. I use process mapping, but from my point of view, there are not enough analytical tools."

"I believe the price should be degressive, and we should have a lower, or better unit price if we have more users."

"In an upcoming release, the solution could be simplified and have a more complete product package rather than a suite of products that we have to put together."

"Performance can be an issue when there's too much data, and getting data into Microsoft Power BI via APIs can be slow."

"You need to purchase upgraded support separately."

"Its desktop tool is a little bit memory CPU intensive, and it can be improved, but the machines nowadays come with a lot of memory. For the desktop users who are using it on the desktop, we recommend that they do an upgrade. It is a minor issue. We can fix it on the desktop."

"Technical support could be a bit better."

"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."

"Excellent value for money."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"In the beginning, the solution cost approximately $1,000 per month, we have a Microsoft startup subscription. There is a subscription pack for startups company which we are able to have for one year."

"Microsoft BI is considered to be competitively priced when compared to other similar solutions in the market."

"It is reasonably priced."

"We pay for users who are publishing on the cloud. The desktop version is free. Its licensing is on a yearly basis."

"I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."

"Our license is paid yearly and we have found that we have to be careful not to over-extend our usage in order to avoid upgrading our capacity plan."

"I think it's a good price, from what I've heard. I know it's competitive with other Power BI tools."

"It would be better if the price was cheaper."
