Veezoo vs. Power BI & Copilot: A Comparison

Veezoo is a Self-Service Analytics solution, enabling users to explore data without technical knowledge or predefined dashboards. Power BI, on the other hand, is dashboard-centric, making it ideal for predefined reporting and monitoring through dashboards.

1. Empower and Enable Non-Technical Users

Veezoo allows all business users to ask complex questions, create dashboards, and edit visualizations using natural language. No data expertise is needed, enabling anyone to derive insights without help from analysts. Users can independently create and modify their own dashboards, reducing reliance on data teams and IT.

Power BI Copilot is more geared towards report authors. Business users can only use Copilot to generate summaries of existing reports and ask questions about what is already displayed in the report. General data querying and new report creation are only available for report authors, which limits independent access to insights for non-technical users.

2. Simple, Predictable Pricing

Veezoo offers straightforward pricing independent from tokens or capacity.

Power BI Copilot uses a complex Capacity Unit (CU) model, charging based on tokens processed per query. Furthermore, Copilot requires at least an F64 or P1 capacity to operate, starting at approximately $10,278.40/month for F64. This makes costs unpredictable and harder to manage, especially when considering additional costs for user and token consumption.

3. Speak Your Language

Veezoo supports multiple languages: German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and soon Spanish.

Power BI Copilot supports only English, limiting accessibility for multilingual teams.

4. Always Fresh Data

Veezoo users can directly query SQL databases like Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, Exasol, and others, ensuring data is always fresh without copying.

Power BI Copilot requires data to be loaded into its environment, which means you pay for the capacity. While DirectQuery is supported, performance can suffer with large datasets, and it is limited to a limited set of data sources: Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL, or SQL Server 2019.

5. Quote from a Leading Power BI Consultancy on Copilot vs Veezoo

“In short, PowerBI Copilot is not yet suitable for such a use case. There is also the Q&A feature within PowerBI, simple questions work okay. Afterwards, however, you have to define synonyms and relationships relatively quickly. All in all, PowerBI has many strengths, but obtaining visualisations via questions is not one of them.”

Summary: Veezoo — A Smarter Way to Unlock Insights

Veezoo makes data accessible with intuitive natural language interaction, simple pricing, and multilingual support. Empower your organization to ask questions and create dashboards—no SQL, no complexity, just fresh, actionable insights.

Compared to Power BI Copilot, Veezoo stands out for ease-of-use, flexibility, and its leading AI-powered capabilities.
