Improved data governance has enabled sensitive data tracking but cost management still needs work
I believe we could improve Databricks integration with cloud service providers. The impact of our current integration has not been particularly good, and it's becoming very expensive for us. The inefficiencies in our implementation, such as not shutting down warehouses when they're not in use or reserving the right number of credits, have led to increased costs. We made several beginner mistakes, such as not taking advantage of incremental loading and running overly complicated queries all the time. We should be using ETL tools to help us instead of doing it directly in Databricks. We need more experienced professionals to manage Databricks effectively, as it's not as forgiving as other platforms such as Snowflake. I think introducing customer repositories would facilitate easier implementation with Databricks.

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 work in the data science field and I found Databricks to be very useful."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The initial setup phase of Databricks was good."
"There are good features for turning off clusters."
"Databricks gives you the flexibility of using several programming languages independently or in combination to build models."
"Databricks integrates well with other solutions."
"One of the features provides nice interactive clusters, or compute instances that you don't really need to manage often."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is its notebook; it's quite convenient to use in terms of research, development, and final deployment, as I can just declare the spark jobs by the load tables."
"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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The solution is very versatile."
 

Cons

"Databricks' performance when serving the data to an analytics tool isn't as good as Snowflake's."
"Instead of relying on a massive instance, the solution should offer micro partition levels. They're working on it, however, they need to implement it to help the solution run more effectively."
"However, my team tells me there are limitations with streaming events. The connectors work with a small set of platforms."
"I believe that this product could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."
"Databricks doesn't offer the use of Python scripts by itself and is not connected to GitHub repositories or anything similar."
"They release patches that sometimes break our code. These patches are supposed to fix issues, but sometimes they cause disruptions."
"The product could be improved by offering an expansion of their visualization capabilities, which currently assists in development in their notebook environment."
"Data governance should be addressed. We have some trouble connecting all the governance solutions with Databricks, which means the integrative capabilities are problematic."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"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."
"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 room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the tool’s pricing an eight out of ten."
"The price of Databricks is reasonable compared to other solutions."
"It is an expensive tool. The licensing model is a pay-as-you-go one."
"We're charged on what the data throughput is and also what the compute time is."
"My smallest project is around a hundred euros, and my most expensive is just under a thousand euros a week. That is based on terabytes of data processed each month."
"The licensing costs of Databricks is a tiered licensing regime, so it is flexible."
"We find Databricks to be very expensive, although this improved when we found out how to shut it down at night."
"The price is okay. It's competitive."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Excellent value for money."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"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."
