Jedox vs Microsoft Power BI comparison

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The solution is very versatile."

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

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

"The best feature for me is Power Query. I know that probably sounds strange, but you can't do too much with visuals and reports if the backend stuff is horribly dirty and just bad. But for me, that is absolutely fantastic. I can load the data and do the transformation and be able to load it in a useful way. There are tons of connections, which is absolutely fantastic as well. It's been fairly easy, and it's intuitive."

"The visualization and reporting are the most valuable features of this solution."

"In the early stage of an implementation, it not only helps decision making, but it allows people to have insight into problems with data so that they can go and get it corrected."

"We have plans to use the AI mechanisms and algorithms that Power BI uses to publish more easy-to-understand reports for our customers."

"Real-time refresh is quite interesting and user-friendly, provided you have access to a gateway. It works well."

"The solution is easy to use and flexible."

"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"Integration with artificial intelligence would help. Humans take time to review the data and eliminate errors. Artificial intelligence based on machine learning and understanding can bring the same functionality."

"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version. It would be beneficial if they could be brought down to the on-premise version without the necessity of using the enterprise SQL database, as that can be very costly. We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."

"My main complaint is that the error messages need to be made more clear. Currently, they are either too generic or outright misleading, and finding the real problem is like searching for a needle in a haystack."

"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."

"We identified a couple of issues in the reports. Some reports took too long to load, particularly at the end of our data refresh."

"I would like to see more visualization options."

"The interface could be improved."

"This solution needs integration with SAS and more deep analysis functionality."

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

"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."

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"The solution is priced well for what they offer. However, the premium version is very expensive."

"No comment."

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

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

"Compared to what's available on the market, I think we pay a fair price."

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

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

"Microsoft Power BI has reasonable pricing."
