Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

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

"The solution is very versatile."

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

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

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"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 ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

"It integrates with all of the Microsoft tools."

"Easy to use and the visualization is valuable."

"It provides easy integration with Office tools."

"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."

"Power BI has strong support from Microsoft. If you need help, they answer promptly. There are also several discussion groups where you can get information, like the product roadmap and any new things coming up."

"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."

"The solution overall is very useful. The reports that are generated and the reporting functionality management are beneficial."

"It's pretty easy to set up the product."

"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."

"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."

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

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

"The upgrade process could be improved."

"There are some problems with the functionality of this solution. The dashboard is not very user friendly and is quite complicated."

"I would like to see a feature that connects with a Machine Learning platform like a RapidMiner or Azure Machine Learning Studio. It would be great to have a Machine Learning application link to connect."

"Although there are many visualizations, most of them are paid separately because they have been developed by private developers. The visualizations that come off the shelf are quite few."

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

"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."

"The data source definition is all over the place."

"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."

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

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

"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."

"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 it has to be applied on the cloud, then it costs around $10 per month per user. For a pro license and for a premium license it's around $20 per month per user. If it has to be applied on-premises then, depending on the course of your server, you have to buy a software assurance version of the database."

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

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"There are a few options available for purchasing a license. Typically the number of users you have will determine the price of the license. The more users you have the more you will pay."

"Microsoft BI is very cost-effective and this is why we use it."

"The Report Server is pretty expensive on-premise. But as long companies are happy to use the cloud version, that's very cost effective."

"The pricing for the solution is relatively higher compared to other alternatives."

"I'm unsure about the exact cost, but the Pro license comes out to around $10 per user. There are also additional costs for custom visuals that you can pay for."
