Zebra BI: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Zebra BI produces charts and reporting visuals that work inside Microsoft tools: Zebra BI for Power BI, Zebra BI for Office for Excel and PowerPoint, and Zebra AI. Users work with the visuals directly in their Microsoft reporting environment. The software is supplied by ZEBRA BI informacijske rešitve d.d., whose registered seat is in Ljubljana, Slovenia, so the vendor is established in the European Union.

For European organisations, the vendor's terms are clear on location. The standard data processing annex names the EU as the processing territory, and the annex for uncertified visuals places processing in the West Europe region of Microsoft Azure in the Netherlands, with analytics in Germany. The privacy policy states that collected personal data is not transferred to third countries. The Office add-ins run on the user's own computer, and the software is not open source. Customers should also confirm that data processed through Power BI or Excel falls under their own agreement with that host platform.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Zebra BI

Zebra BI is headquartered in SI and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Zebra BI runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Zebra BI is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Zebra BI together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
