Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the tool for performance management and planning.""The EPM is the most valuable feature.""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 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 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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"My primary use is for view of the dashboard.""There is a feature in Microsoft BI that allows JSON data to SQL on the dashboards effectively and quickly.""The product is intuitive and user-friendly.""Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light.""The solution is stable.""I liked that Microsoft Power BI handles a large amount of data. I can handle hundreds of rows from Postgres in a few minutes. I also like how it detects the relationship between the tables without explicitly saying that. It just detects the relationship automatically. That made it easier to work with the data.""The product is easy to use and simple to navigate.""Microsoft BI's initial setup is very straightforward."

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

More Jedox Cons →

"It's quite difficult to learn how to use Power BI.""The biggest thing with Microsoft right now is better support. There should be more timely support. We can do 90% of it ourselves by the same token. When we're into the 10%, we do not get timely support via Microsoft's support team.""I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint.""It would be nice to use other connectors to link with the data.""Microsoft needs to provide more drivers to connect other data sources in a native way.""It needs a wizard that covers all its options.""I would like to see integration with Excel.""There are some limitations in Power BI; you have to work in the Power BI base. However, if you want something not out-of-the-box and you want something custom, you have to do a lot of work."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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."
  • "Excellent value for money."
  • "The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
  • "The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
  • "Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

  • "There is room for at least 45% discount as compared to the initial price."
  • "MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."
  • "All in all, for the price, this is an excellent tool for helping your organization turn mounds of data into useful insights."
  • "I would advise that Microsoft BI products are rightly priced and the licensing is easy to follow and to fulfill."
  • "Remove the cost of a licence to show a dashboard within SharePoint. Why should readers of a dashboard have to pay to view? ​"
  • "Make it low in cost. It is a no-brainer!"
  • "Globally, we evaluated a number of products, including Salesforce's product, Microsoft won on the ground of simple functionally and cost."
  • "Paid for itself in the first month."
