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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The solution is very versatile."

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

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

"This solution has improved our ability in making decisions and explaining data."

"As it was my first time using Power BI, I can say that it was fairly easy to learn, especially if you already know BI-type tools."

"We find the solution offers good stability."

"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."

"Considering that it's Microsoft, it can be integrated with the Power Platform, which is also Microsoft-based, like SharePoint, Power apps, Power Automate, and Power BI, which is the most user-friendly."

"Power BI allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience."

"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."

"It's user-friendly and provides data abstracting capabilities. We are also able to share reports with our colleagues very easily."

"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

"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."

"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"Sometimes while developing, the front end is not easily customizable and it has limitations. We cannot go and do any UI we want. We have to stick to the limitations of the product."

"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."

"Microsoft Power BI can be confusing, because it has two languages that you need to learn if you want to use it, and this makes it more difficult for nontechnical users."

"The only concern I have faced with Microsoft BI is the time it takes to find out an issue and rectify it."

"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."

"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."

"I have been doing trial and error to figuring out how to do the data analyzing and modeling. There could be some improvement to simplify it."

"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"Excellent value for money."

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

"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."

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

"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"I have never worked on licensing, but I have heard that it is reasonable."

"Pricing, that's where Microsoft beats Tableau. It is priced much cheaper."

"The price of the solution can be expensive if you want to synchronize your data more."

"Microsoft BI is free for the personal edition, but there is also a paid-for professional version."

"I have not had a customer suggest the solution is too expensive. There are licenses to use the solution."

"Both cost-wise and implementation-wise, this product is a good choice."
