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."

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

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

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

"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."

"This is a self-service BI tool, so it doesn't require a huge amount of technical training, knowledge, or a background in BI in order to induct new people into it."

"We have a lot of servers and applications from which we want reports, and it allows us to create reports from an SQL source or some other source."

"The most valuable features are the flexibility, how many ways you can interrogate the data, and the the graphical visualization."

"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."

"It is useful for bringing visualization to data. It calculates counts, ratios, etc."

"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."

"One of the most valuable aspects of this tool is its ease of use and the ability to easily share information with others."

"It ingegrates nicely with Office 365."

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

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

"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."

"I would like to be able to use SQL properly within the reports and allow multiple people to work on the same report at the same time. If one person is working on it, then it causes issues for anyone else wanting to make reports."

"The cost of the solution can get high."

"Their technical support can be better. They normally take too long to escalate and resolve a case."

"Microsoft should offer additional features for visualization and have additional features for slicing and dicing that data."

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

"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 formatting template could be improved."

"I cannot comment on the stability as we haven't yet used it for a big project."

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

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

"Excellent value for money."

"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."

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

"No comment."

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."

"Paid for itself in the first month."

"The current licensing model that Microsoft BI has is expensive. My customers have told me the cost is approximately $20 per user and this can get expensive fast. There should be a one-time purchase option if the customer has a lot of users."

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

"Power BI is subscription-based, and you have three options. The Pro edition, which is the standard one, is about $9 per user. The Premium edition, which provides AI and cloud capabilities but at a limited size, is for small to medium enterprises. It is about $20 per user. For large enterprises, such as manufacturing facilities, there is an option for the capacity. The capacity subscription is about $4,000 per capacity level. They also have an option for the on-premises version, but it is not common to see someone going for the on-premises version. The on-premises version requires a specific license that is attached to SQL Server. I believe it is about $17,000, but I'm not sure about it."
