Offers flexibility in design and saves time in budgeting and forecasting processes

I find Board to be simple and easy to use. It offers significant flexibility in designing solutions. The system overall is very useful, with many capabilities that provide flexibility. Our budgeting and forecasting processes support around three hundred twenty users who would otherwise rely on Excel, making Board invaluable for saving time.

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

"I find Board to be simple and easy to use."

"It's got that combination of everything."

"I think the product is good in terms of ease of use."

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

"The primary use case is developing a demand planning and collaboration platform, and it is performing well."

"My favourite feature of BOARD is the ability to write back to the OLAP DB, as well as the Rdb, and secure user data allowing databases to be flushed and rebuilt daily."

"I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value."

"We use it across our entire business; we use it for financial data, inventory data, sales data, and inventory transaction data, and it is performing very well."

More Board pros

"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."

"The solution is very versatile."

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

"The data entry point is most valuable, and the way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

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

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

"With Jedox, those kinds of pain points have been removed, and now if I create my dashboard once, people just need to add the data or pull the data, or the data just comes in on a scheduled basis from various systems, and my dashboards are ready."

More Jedox pros

"The biggest achievement is that now we do not have to use spreadsheets"

"The time saved by building variables to drive accounts inside the budgeting system, along with balancing accounts to spread increases or decreases based on different accounts or versions, more than makes up for the pricing of the software."

"Definitely take a look at this product and its offerings as it has a lot of useful features and could be used to simplify processes and day to day activities."

"Easy to use Rich functionality Complete corporate performance management solution Based on modern technology Cloud-ready All of them allow me to manage my business."

"It has enabled us to cut the budgeting process by 50% as well as making the budgets more acute."

"The ability to budget on individual levels, i.e. by person for payroll, by vehicle for transportation, etc."

"Customer Service: It's excellent."

More Prophix pros

Cons

"The initial setup was very complex for us."

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

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

"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."

"One of the things that I would like to see is the ability to have a rule directly referenced on the cubes."

"Some of our users are still using an MS Office add-in for Excel for certain calculations, and when they export from Board, some of the values, some of the totals and column names, are not coming through into Excel."

"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers who aren't particularly technical, so you could really get it out there to literally every employee, or every customer."

"The Windows client is a different story. It's not scalable at all, so we decided to go with the Web."

More Board cons

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."

"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."

"It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming."

"I think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."

"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

"BI analytics Few related Ad Hoc Analyses in one window Sorting and filtering in Data View"

"The Microsoft multidimensional cubes does have several disadvantages in write back solutions which results in poor performance."

"Discovery was not in depth enough for our deployment to be successful – we had a lot of problems and had to take short-cuts due to a lack of planning."

"There were problems in a certain version with the speed, but they have fixed this in later versions."

"The process speed and integration with sources of transaction detail needs work."

"With the report writing there are some issues."

"Areas where you load your CapEx still need a lot of improvements. The Excel add-in is not as good as Hyperions."

"At times, Prophix would crash if too many files were open."

More Prophix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Excellent value for money."

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

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

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
