Transform your Power BI reports with Zebra BI: The ultimate Visualization Experience

Kommentare: Our experience with Zebra BI has been overwhelmingly positive! We have achieved a complete transformation in how we create our financial reports, as Zebra BI has completely replaced the need for Excel and eliminated lot's of different and inconsistent designs. The result is not only visually appealing but also saves us valuable time and resources.

Vorteile:

The benefits of Zebra BI are countless, but I will highlight my top 3 favorite features:- IBCS compliant, you do not need to think about the design.- Responsive design. When resizing the visual, the design automatically changes to the best fit.- The flexibility and possibilities of the Zebra BI KPI Card are virtually limitless.The product is super easy to use. Simply drag and drop your measures and dimensions in the designated placeholders, and watch as the magic unfolds before your eyes!

Nachteile:

One aspect that we initially struggled with was the speed of the visualizations when dealing with massive datasets. However, with the recent upgrade to version 6.0 of the Zebra BI table visual, this issue has been greatly improved and resolved. This upgrade serves as a testament to the company's commitment to continuously enhance and improve their product.

Zebra BI for Power BI represents a bona fide revolution in data presentation

Kommentare: Despite these minor setbacks, the integration of Zebra BI has decisively tipped the scale in favor of Power BI and MS Office over other competitors. The stunning visuals it produces, conforming to the IBCS standards, have made it an integral part of our software selection process.Zebra BI isn't just a tool; it's a catalyst that has propelled our data analysis into an entirely new dimension. It has given our reports and presentations a new lease of life, facilitating a deeper understanding and simpler visualization of our data. While Zebra BI has indeed changed the game, we eagerly anticipate its future iterations that hopefully would include wider BI platform compatibility and pre-installation features. Until then, Zebra BI remains a game-changer, setting the benchmark in data visualization.

Vorteile:

Zebra BI for Power BI represents a bona fide revolution in data presentation. This formidable tool has completely transformed the way we conceive and construct our dashboards. Before its arrival, we were compelled to immerse ourselves in intricate calculations and labor-intensive decisions on what kind of chart to select. However, all this changed when Zebra BI burst onto the scene.This powerful tool has boosted the efficiency of our dashboard development to unimaginable heights. With Zebra BI, representing the evolution of key performance indicators (KPIs), comparatives, and automatic variance calculations turn into a straightforward and intuitive process. Comparing with previous periods, whether a month or a year, and even contrasting with projections and forecasts, has never been as accessible and automated.The integration of Zebra BI into our operations has not only simplified data analysis but has spurred an unconditional preference for Power BI and MS Office over any competitor. The potency of its visuals, which adhere to the IBCS standards, is such that it has become a decisive factor in our choice of software.Zebra BI is not just a tool, it's the catalyst that has propelled our data analysis to a new dimension, allowing our reports and presentations to shine in their own right. Thanks to Zebra BI, we can visualize and understand our data better, turning the complex into simple, and the inaccessible into manageable. Indeed, Zebra BI is not just a game-changer—it

Nachteile:

However, there are certain limitations to this transformative tool. The need to install it on Power BI feels like an unnecessary step. Ideally, Zebra BI would be a pre-loaded feature of Power BI, ready to deploy its powerful data visualization capabilities without any additional setup. Moreover, its exclusivity to Power BI is a considerable drawback. Given its robust capabilities, it would be fantastic to see Zebra BI extend its reach to other BI platforms like Tableau, Cognos, MicroStrategy, and more.

Powerful Data Visualization Tool for Effective Business Intelligence

Kommentare: Zebra BI is an outstanding data visualization tool that excels in transforming complex data into clear and meaningful insights. Its powerful features, flexibility, and ease of use make it an indispensable asset for professionals working with business intelligence.

Vorteile:

The customization options offered by Zebra BI are remarkable. You can easily personalize the appearance of charts and graphs to match your brand identity or specific reporting requirements. This level of flexibility allows you to create professional-grade reports and presentations that impress stakeholders and drive data-driven decision-making.

The learning curve for beginners might be slightly steep. Although Zebra BI provides a user-friendly interface, individuals with minimal experience in data visualization or business intelligence tools may require some time to familiarize themselves with the software's features and functionalities. However, once users overcome the initial learning curve, Zebra BI proves to be a highly efficient and effective tool.

If you’re into Power BI or Excel reporting, you should absolutely try Zebra BI

Kommentare: Amazing software, cool company and a fair price… what else could you wish for?

Integrated variance calculations, IBCS compliance, dynamic real estate balance for small multiples, highlighting the results, performance, support…

Nachteile:

Unfortunately one cannot use conditional formatting

Zebra Goes the Extra Step from Power BI

Kommentare: It stands out among all other "like" products and is very helpful to users. Great features. Timely and needed enhancements are always forthcoming.

Vorteile:

Charts and tables have many different features unique to Zebra, such as the user ability to add/remove/adjust columns visuals. I really like the ability to add formula rows to tables.

Nachteile:

1. In adding formula rows to tables, it is limited. a) I cannot add blank rows (as I would like my table sections to be delineated.) b) More row formatting options: background color c) The Manage Calculations feature is not accurate and does not accurately reflect the added/removed/renamed formulas. 2. Ability for the user to change columns, it is not at all intuitive for the user to know it exists and how to use it.

Power BI's best friend

Vorteile:

Zebra BI allows you to implement IBCS visuals which is key for corporate reporting and analysis.They are easy to use, blazing fast and make you save of lot of time when building up insighful reports.

Nachteile:

The features I'm missing the most are :- ability to select a specific data point for highlights (previous nth from last point for example). Indeed, with the COVID pandemic, comparisons were often made to previous years and not necessarily the N-1.-ability to select the aggregation for the Grand Total as ratios are aggregated as sum

Zebra BI for Business

Kommentare: Zebra BI visuals make it extremely easy to provide standard business/finance analysis like comparisons between actuals, budgets and forecasts, which is a - difficult to do with standard visuals (need many more measures in the model and acrobatics with visuals)b - provides succinct view of business issues/performance (thanks to IBCS too)

Vorteile:

Zebra BI provides a way to look at business-related data in exact same way I would like to tell the story to my audience. And what makes it even better, is that user can change type of chart in the report, customizing it to individual preferences. IBCS, and Zebra visuals based on them, offer unified interpretation of reported information, which really helps users to grasp quickly complex information.

Nachteile:

Data model should be structured in certain way, which is pretty straightforward when starting to build report and having clear view of the output - story you want to convey with Zebra visuals.

Zebra helps me to get to professional reports faster

Kommentare: Very attentive customer service and useful advanced usecase descriptions on the website (like price-volume-mix calculation...would like to see something evene more in depth here maybe going further steps until contribution margin or EBIT)

Vorteile:

Quick creation of professional reports especially when different versions like Budget vs. Actuals or "Last Years Forecast vs. this years forecast" have to be compared

Nachteile:

Switch between different measures to be compared...i.e. sitch from comparing revenues to compare volumes in different versions.Not possible to enforce a fixed number of significant digits and let visuals automatically switch shown values in thousands, millions in a way that makes sense (0,0 Mn € does not make sense --> switch to thousands)Not pissible to enforce custome unit symbol like [€] or [pcs] in labels
