Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

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

"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."

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

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

"The solution is very versatile."

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

"MS SQL & SQL Server Analysis Services."

"The stability is good."

"The visualization part and its inclusion in a cloud-based application are valuable features."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see."

"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."

"It is easy to use. It has got a desktop where people can develop their own dashboards. Basically, we have figured out how to connect finance contracts and all programs for the government agency. So, they can see everything in a dashboard. So, it is very easy to use from a technical standpoint of view."

"What I like about Power BI is how fast you are able to create dashboards and how fast you are able to fetch the data. You can connect to the database or data source, and then you can design your dashboards very easily."

"The fact that you can visualize items is great."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"It's not really complicated, but I didn't find the things I was looking for. The ones I used to work with within Dash are more open, and there are more choices. But with Power BI, there are only limited types of plots that I can use. For example, when I wanted to put the plots in Power BI, there was no extendable space. You have a limited page where you can place a maximum of three plots in that, and you can't do more than that on a single page. You have to create a new page, a different page for that. That made it a bit annoying, and the filtering part is limited, with basic functions. If you want to make custom filtering or custom functions, you can't do that."

"The DAX features need some improvement. It's not as easy as Excel. They need more DAX formulas."

"The solution doesn't integrate well with third-party tools."

"As Copilot and further integrations continue to develop, they will enhance Power BI's functionality."

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

"If you look at the new tool, even though they promised that you could do data modeling, that you could do everything from the Power BI side, if your data is really large in volume, sometimes it doesn't work on the Power BI. More feature testing from their side would certainly help users."

"The performance of Microsoft BI could improve for large datasets and it would be beneficial to have more visualization features."

"It is not yet ready for enterprises. For a big enterprise data model, it is not so stable, and it also doesn't scale so well."

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

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

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"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."

"Power BI premium is really expensive for our market. A lot of small and medium companies would like to purchase it, but they can't afford it."

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

"Pricing is a big advantage that Power BI has over Tableau. Power BI is three or four times cheaper than Tableau. For my personal use, I will definitely prefer a $20 monthly fee of Power BI rather than a $70 monthly fee of Tableau. If you pay altogether for Power BI, they give you a discount, whereas, with Tableau, there is no discount. There are three versions of Power BI: Free, Pro, and Premium. The Premium version comes with a lot of things. There is no extra or hidden fee. You pay every month, and the software is with you. If you upgrade, there will be some extra charges."

"Globally, we evaluated a number of products, including Salesforce's product, Microsoft won on the ground of simple functionally and cost."

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

"Its licensing cost is very high. It is $20 per user, which is very high, but it is a good product, so you pay for it."

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

"Their price is good."
