Pricing Options | Solutions for Enterprises of All Shapes and Sizes

A variety of pricing options enable you to pay the lowest possible cost for your organization's use.

Every organization has different BI needs. At InetSoft, we offer three main pricing options for our software, so that your company can pick whichever one provides the best value for you. The options are perpetual concurrent user pricing, CPU based pricing, and subscription or rental based pricing.

The concurrent user pricing option is often the best choice for smaller organizations. Only 5 user licenses are required, and the individual users do not need to be specified.

The CPU based pricing option is ideal for a larger organization with a higher volume of users. Licenses can be based on the number of CPU cores or the number of threads. If your organization has many BI users, but not a high volume of use, a single, dual-core CPU will often be sufficient. For large multi-national corporations, it is recommended to start with a multi-node cluster of CPUs and add servers as usage increases.

If neither of these options appeal to you, you may prefer our annual subscription pricing model. We offers several subscription options based on CPU cores, threads, and number of users.

What Is a Hidden Cost of Power BI?

While Power BI is widely praised for its powerful data visualization and analytics capabilities, several hidden costs can significantly impact an organization's budget. One such hidden cost is the licensing structure. While Power BI offers a free version, many advanced features and functionalities are only available with a Pro or Premium license. The Pro license, necessary for sharing reports and dashboards among users, incurs a per-user monthly fee. For larger organizations, these costs can quickly add up, especially when considering the need for widespread access across multiple departments. Furthermore, the Premium license, which supports larger data models and more frequent data refreshes, requires a substantial financial commitment, often beyond the reach of smaller businesses.

Another hidden cost involves data storage and infrastructure. Power BI requires sufficient cloud storage to handle large datasets and perform complex analytics. While Microsoft offers some storage with its licenses, exceeding these limits results in additional charges. Additionally, the integration with other data sources and on-premises data gateways might necessitate extra infrastructure investments. Organizations may find themselves needing to upgrade their data warehousing solutions or invest in more robust cloud storage options to ensure seamless operation, which can incur significant, unanticipated expenses.

Lastly, the cost of training and implementation can be substantial. Power BI, while user-friendly, still requires a certain level of expertise to fully utilize its capabilities. Organizations must invest in training for their staff, either through formal courses, workshops, or hiring experienced Power BI professionals. The initial setup and ongoing management of the platform also demand time and resources. These efforts, essential for maximizing the tool's potential, often require a significant investment in both time and money, representing another hidden cost that organizations need to account for when considering Power BI.
