Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

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

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

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The solution is easy to use and flexible."

"The best feature of this solution is the way you can plan, communicate, and visualize all the knowledge you extract from the data for the customers. I like the way you can show or visualize the information a client needs to answer a business question."

"Our setup is very straight forward and can be done in a matter of hours."

"Microsoft BI is better than most solutions we have. It's pretty easy to conduct analysis with it."

"There is a lot of variety in Power BI. In particular, the visuals are quite rich and the feature set has been growing rapidly in the last two years. Possibly the best part for me is that there are a lot of ways to connect with data sources."

"Provides data feeds for enterprise KPI reporting."

"Implementation is very quick and the solution is very user-friendly."

"The stability is good."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

"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."

"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."

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

"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

"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."

"The solution could use a faster speed on certain interactions and a refresh of the dashboards."

"It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data."

"The reporting could be a bit better."

"It needs a wizard that covers all its options."

"Real-time refreshing for SAP BW would be nice. We know its on the radar for the development team at MS. ​"

"I find the solution to be 70 percent stable."

"I face performance issues with Microsoft Power BI, which are unsolvable. There is a lack of features between the on-premises and cloud version, which poses a challenge for me."

"Areas for improvement would be the construction of reports and the dashboard budget."

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"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."

"Excellent value for money."

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

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

"Price is the best feature of Power BI! You get a lot of value for the price. If you know how to use it, it's a great BI solution for your money."

"It is a cheap solution for our needs."

"The premium licensing is approximately $5,000 per month which is pretty expensive."

"Their price is good."

"While Power BI is generally a paid product, particularly for enterprise features and scalability, you can start with the free version and still achieve significant functionality."

"It is part of our Office 365 license."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."
