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 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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

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

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

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

"The flexibility of the program is valuable. We are able to add other information to the reporting information and expand upon it."

"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."

"We like the drag and drop interactability visualization. We really like that. It's user-friendly."

"Microsoft B's beneficial features are that it is a Microsoft product and it is well known by the staff here in the company. It suited the available skills."

"The reports are easy to create."

"The solution is very intuitive, you do not need to have too much programming knowledge to use it. Advanced Excel users can use it very easily."

"The way data is presented is very valuable. The amount of information that we can get at a glance is also valuable. You can then drill-down and see data from many different angles in the same chart by selecting certain things. Based on the selection, everything changes automatically. If we have four parameters in a particular item, when you select a parameter, the remaining charts on that page automatically change for that particular parameter."

"The initial setup is simple to do."

"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."

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

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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."

"Microsoft BI has its own challenges in terms of user interface and how quickly somebody can learn how to use it."

"When there are large amounts of data being processed there are additional tools needed to handle it."

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

"Power BI's administration could use some work, and the user experience needs to improve because it is a client-based tool. If you want to generate a model or report, you need to use client tools, but client tools are limited for end-users who don't have enough hardware. For example, maybe a client lacks enough memory or CPU power for report generators. If you use a model that requires a massive amount of data, your client will face several problems."

"The one thing that I noticed specifically was the graphical features, and some of the analytical features. They were stronger on the Tableau side."

"The setup took a lot of tinkering with InfoSec to allow us to do stuff."

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

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

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

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

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

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

"Power BI comes with enterprise Microsoft licensing. So for the user, you don't have to pay, but you do have to pay a one-time cost."

"We view it as an expensive product."

"Once the trial period for the BI service is over, the cost is approximately $10 USD per user, per month, so it's quite reasonable."

"Power BI is cheaper than Tableau and Cognos."

"I very much recommend the free trial mode."

"No comment."
