Easy to use and requires less time to learn or understand its features

I think the product is good in terms of ease of use. The interface looks really nice and very easy to use. Every command appears in the icon. It looks like you don't have to understand everything about the command. You do not necessarily have to know more, or I would say that there is less time for our study about the products. Functionality-wise, it is quite easy to use and requires less time to understand or learn about the product. I am a software vendor, so I do not use the tool myself. I use it for my clients. My clients mostly use it for budgeting and timing purposes. I would say that's really less maintenance at all because they can do everything by themselves. It is good in terms of ease of use.

Powerful BI tool for analyzing financial performance and stable performance

I would rate the scalability of Jedox a seven out of ten. There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself. So that's where the main improvements lie—making it easy for people to not depend on just technical finance teams. There are almost 50 to 60 users using Jedox in our organization.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Primary valuable features are its flexibility and versatility and, obviously, functionality goes along with that. Plus, it does that at a small footprint in the file servers, and does it very efficiently."

"It allows people to quickly create dashboards with reports."

"The tool seems to have a lot of ways to handle scaling."

"we are able to easily export data. When directors need financial information, we can go in the system and export the data, then send it out so they have it ready and available. If they are not in the office, we can email it to them. In addition, all the managers are now more on top of their expenses and their budget."

"Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day."

"The drill down is good for people who have that high level view, because they can do some analysis based on it."

"It has a good set of visual elements that you can use and can explain quite well."

"With the combination of 24/7 global support and their community, there was great customer service, tech support, and community support."

More Board pros

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

More Jedox pros

Cons

"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."

"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."

"What could be better is the manual... nowadays, most people use a web client, but on the Board manual website, a lot of the information is only about the Windows client. If they could update that, it would be helpful."

"Sometimes, the data disappears from the product."

"One thing that I personally would like to see is additional visualization tools for visuals."

"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."

"We would like to see better logging in the procedural world."

"Building similar models entirely from scratch could be made quicker with transfer abilities between databases and capsules."

More Board cons

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."

More Jedox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is quite expensive, if it is made cheaper then we can have more clients. I rate it four out of ten."

"In terms of the pricing, it was reasonable. BOARD is not the lowest in the market, but it was reasonable for us."

"The tool's price is a bit high compared to other solutions."

"It is not the cheapest product on earth, but you get so much. It provides good value for money."

"Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"If you are using SAP, then you will have to take an SAP Connector license. The license across the tool is paying for the people who are using it as an admin or as a normal user. They can work out those costs in a manner that can help. This can also be a point of improvement where they can work out the costing, and the developers have a specific licensing cost. The normal users, who are going to do probably data entry or just going to view the dashboard, can have a separate license cost."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."

"Excellent value for money."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
