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.

Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal

Real-time data integration is an area for improvement. Although I've worked on several solutions involving real-time integration, it's not very user-friendly and often lags, especially with over a million data rows. This makes Power BI difficult to manage as loading times can reach one or two minutes, which is problematic today. There are challenges with scalability, requiring multiple pages in dashboards to manage these issues. Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated. Users, especially newcomers, find it unappealing and not user-friendly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

"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 ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

More Jedox pros

"Power BI allows me to show detailed improvements in quality and safety and patient experience."

"Its data visualization provides the user the ability to quickly look at data and focus on relevant information, allowing them to make an immediate decision."

"The data manipulation and data cleaning tasks are handled in the backend by Power Query in Microsoft Power BI."

"We have found the product to be scalable."

"The dashboard is very nice and it is very simple to understand every single component."

"It is stable enough. It has a lot of powerful functions. It can also be customized with the DAX language. It is also intuitive enough and incremental. You can start with something simple, and then step-by-step, you can increase the reports and dashboards according to your needs."

"Most of the clients I am interacting with are looking towards Power BI because of the cost and simplicities. It provides an entire feature set and a complete solution. It has tight integration with Office 365, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Technology Stack, and datatypes like R and Python."

"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

"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 not much training for Jedox."

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

More Jedox cons

"It needs an AI which can choose the appropriate connection strings and provide options for connections."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the solution."

"The accounting data needs improvement."

"From any improvement perspective, I want the product to be made available to users free of cost...The stability and scalability of the product can be better."

"I would prefer that the solution not be shared. I'm concerned that if we make a mistake we could reveal information to people who shouldn't see it. I would like to have my own on-prem server, to buy my own server and have my own infrastructure for Microsoft BI, with only with my data."

"The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code."

"There are some other visuals that are available in the Microsoft marketplace, however, you need to use them via trial and error. There needs to be a write-up about how to use them with a quick guide describing the visual."

"Microsoft is behind IBM when it comes to security features."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"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."

"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."

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

"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive. Compared to the price of other BI products, the price is very fair."

"For my primary use case, i.e. teaching students, the free version of Power BI is adequate."

"The solution is affordable."

"Its price is very low. It is like $10 per user, per month. The clients pay for their own licenses. It is not on us. There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. That's the beauty. With other systems, you need to spend a couple of thousand dollars just to get started, and then you need to spend $500 per year for the license, which becomes much more costly. You have a system here where for $120 to $140 a year, you can start with two people and start developing and deploying. You can see why the cost difference is huge, especially when you are on a low scale, like us, and you're not building something very huge."

"The costs are small and the benefits are high."

"The solution is less expensive than other PowerBI tools, which is why most people go with it, although it does cost more than MSBI tools."

"We are end-users, and we don't take care of the prices and accounting. We get a product and pay the fee to our internal service provider, but its price should be reasonable. Otherwise, they wouldn't have bought it."
