Capability to integrate diverse coding languages in a single notebook greatly enhances workflow

Databricks offers various courses that I can use, whether it's PySpark, Scala, or R. I can leverage all these courses in a single notebook, which is beneficial for clients as they can access various tools in one place whenever needed. This is quite significant. I usually work with PySpark based on client requirements. After coding, I feed the Databricks notebooks into the ADF pipeline for updates. Databricks' capability to process data in parallel enhances data processing speed. Furthermore, I can connect our Databricks notebook directly with Power BI and other visualization tools like Qlik. Once we develop code, it allows us to transform raw data into visualizations for clients using analysis diagrams, which is very helpful.

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 would rate them ten out of ten."

"Databricks serves as a single platform that can handle numerous end-to-end machine learning tasks."

"Imageflow is a visual tool that helps make it easier for business people to understand complex workflows."

"The initial setup phase of Databricks was good."

"Databricks serves as a single platform for conducting the entire end-to-end lifecycle of machine learning models or AI ops."

"The notebooks and the ability to share them with collaborators are valuable, as multiple developers can use a single cluster."

"The processing capacity is tremendous in the database."

"The load distribution capabilities are good, and you can perform data processing tasks very quickly."

More Databricks pros

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

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

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

"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."

More Jedox pros

Cons

"The pricing of Databricks could be cheaper."

"Anyone who doesn't know SQL may find the product difficult to work with."

"I believe that this product could be improved by becoming more user-friendly."

"Scalability is an area with certain shortcomings. The solution's scalability needs improvement."

"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."

"There should be better integration with other platforms."

"I would like to see more documentation in terms of how an end-user could use it, and users like me can easily try it and implement use cases."

"The API deployment and model deployment are not easy on the Databricks side."

More Databricks cons

"There is not much training for Jedox."

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

"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. 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. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

More Jedox cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are different versions."

"The billing of Databricks can be difficult and should improve."

"Databricks are not costly when compared with other solutions' prices."

"I'm not involved in the financing, but I can say that the solution seemed reasonably priced compared to the competitors. Similar products are usually in the same price range. With five being affordable and one being expensive, I would rate Databricks a four out of five."

"The solution uses a pay-per-use model with an annual subscription fee or package. Typically this solution is used on a cloud platform, such as Azure or AWS, but more people are choosing Azure because the price is more reasonable."

"The price is okay. It's competitive."

"The cost is around $600,000 for 50 users."

"We only pay for the Azure compute behind the solution."

More Databricks pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"Excellent value for money."

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