FP&A Controller Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Transform your Power BI reports with Zebra BI: The ultimate Visualization Experience" February 6, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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! Cons 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.

Chief Technology Officer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zebra BI for Power BI represents a bona fide revolution in data presentation" June 22, 2023 5.0 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. Pros 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 Cons 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.

IBCS standard is AMAZING. Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 Thank you for the detailed review! And yes, we chose Power BI, Excel, and PowerPoint for a reason. Microsoft solutions are still the most widely used platforms and we want to help as many businesses as we can. They also allow many ways to connect to different databases. Think of TM1 perspectives for Excel. Wishing you all the best in the future with our visualizations! Thank you once more. CG Cristian G.

Its powerful features, flexibility, and ease of use make it an indispensable asset for professionals working with business intelligence. Pros 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. Cons 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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer BI Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "If you’re into Power BI or Excel reporting, you should absolutely try Zebra BI" June 23, 2023 5.0 Amazing software, cool company and a fair price… what else could you wish for? Pros Integrated variance calculations, IBCS compliance, dynamic real estate balance for small multiples, highlighting the results, performance, support… Cons Unfortunately one cannot use conditional formatting Switched from [IBM Cognos Analytics](https://www.capterra.com/p/240583/IBM-Cognos-Analytics/)[Microsoft Power BI](https://www.capterra.com/p/176586/Power-BI/) Power BI without the additional add-on was way more complex to achieve useful visualisation Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 27, 2023 Thank you for the review, we appreciate it much. And yes, we are very particular with the use of color. I would advise you to create a measure and perform a variance analysis, this should give you the same result but with more importance on visualizing the differences. Hope this helps. RC Raimana C. Director Revenue Management, Network & Alliances Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Power BI's best friend" June 22, 2023 5.0 Pros 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. Cons 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 Reason for choosing Zebra BI Easy of use and rich features in terms of customability Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 Thank you for your review! This is a great point. Let me just point out you can add any measure you like into the data field boxes in Power BI. So, if you would like to compare Actual to last week's data you only require a measure that would for a certain time point (N-1) calculate or write the value with which you would like to compare. And for clarity, it is probably best to use the Plan field box for this kind of comparison. Hope this helps. NG Nick G. Director of Finance & Reporting Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zebra BI - your one-stop for variance reporting visuals" June 22, 2023 5.0 Great. Glad I found them. I use them daily. Great value for the money. Don't even think about it. Pros I love the ease of use. Three clicks and :boom: you've got a variance report. Add another visual or two, drag new fields, and you've now got drill-down report detail.Excellent customer service.Great price. Cons It's hard to find a con. I'm so please and so impressed. I will say that, over the last few years of using Zebra BI, I have reported a handful of bugs and one or two of them are still an issue. Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 Thank you very much for the review, we really appreciate it. MG Marion G. Information Delivery FP&A Manager Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zebra Goes the Extra Step from Power BI" June 22, 2023 5.0 It stands out among all other "like" products and is very helpful to users. Great features. Timely and needed enhancements are always forthcoming. Pros 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. Cons 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. Alternatives considered [Profitbase EPM](https://www.capterra.com/p/35052/ProfitBase/) Reason for choosing Zebra BI Better and more plentiful features. Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 Thank you for the in-depth review. We are sorry to hear you are having some trouble with our Tables visual. And yes, some of these features like adding blank rows and row formatting are intentional as we believe that space is precious and shouldn't include blank rows and the use of color outside of variances is probably not the best option. We advise using the commenting feature to bring more attention to the specific data point you want. I am, however, worried about point C and will bring it to the attention of our QA to make sure the feature works as expected. Thank you for your input and we hope we can help you create even more awesome reports in the future. Fernando C. Data Analytics Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Variance analysis in just a couple of clicks made easy, professional and IBCS compliant." June 22, 2023 5.0 I'm very happy using the tool to show specially variance analysis to Finance end users, it helps them immensely. Pros I find the tool really easy to use and helps us with the IBCS guidance, that sometimes not all data analysts are aware of. Cons It works great, so I can't think on a con right now. Reason for choosing Zebra BI At the company I'm providing consulting services right now it comes included when downloading Power BI Desktop.

JS Joachim S. Product Strategy Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zebra helps me to get to professional reports faster" June 22, 2023 5.0 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) Pros 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 Cons 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 Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 This is a great point regarding value formats! I will forward your suggestion to our team. For the second point: you are correct, IBCS dictates that data labels should not include unit symbols, so we do not allow this. Thank you for your review. VS Vlad S. Director Business Solutions Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Zebra BI for Business" June 22, 2023 5.0 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) Pros 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. Cons 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. Reason for choosing Zebra BI Functionality - simply not available in other products at a time, which still holds true today Review Source Response from Zebra BI June 26, 2023 Thank you very much for taking the time to write the review, we truly respect it.
