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.

Data integration has improved reserving and expense control while collaboration drives fast dashboards

Regarding drawbacks or weak points in Microsoft Power BI, it may not be directly related to the tool itself, but with our architecture, as we couldn't get a service account, which is an email address that has no relationship with the employees, just to establish the connection with Anaplan. We couldn't get it to work on SSO, so we use an employee account which could be a point of weakness, meaning if the person leaves, that connection will break. If the person goes on holiday and we need to refresh, we have to change the connection as well, but we have to live with that since we're not using SSO on the service account. Regarding the natural language processing feature, we're trying to avoid using it too much because it can slow down the connection, so as much as possible, we try to build the logic and any transformation in Anaplan, and then deliver an end product to Microsoft Power BI.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

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

"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."

"The solution is very versatile."

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

More Jedox pros

"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."

"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."

"The user experience is easy. Users get familiar with it quickly."

"It is good for us for onboarding the data. We can connect to multiple data sources, do transformations to make the data usable, and then model it within the transformation. Someone who has come from a Microsoft Excel environment will easily be able to use this solution. Power query and report modeling are easy to understand in this solution. Their technical support is very good. They are extremely responsive, helpful, and hands-on."

"I have found the best features to be the dashboard creation, graphs, charts, and presentation bar graphs."

"It's a very easy-to-use solution."

"In my experience the scalability is good. You are able to increase users and add more data."

"It's quite flexible, and it's easy to create reports using this system. It is very graphic and very user friendly."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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."

More Jedox cons

"The UI looks awkward once the graphs have been generated in the console. This is what Microsoft can work on."

"It is getting better but still, there are opportunity areas in some aspects, especially the Windows OS dependency."

"The reporting could be a bit better."

"I'm not overly technical, and so I can't really speak to any shortcomings from a technical standpoint."

"It would be better if they had some video tutorials. Most people from an Excel background may struggle with measures in Microsoft BI."

"Microsoft BI lacks integration capabilities, so it needs to consider increasing its integration capabilities."

"The look and feel should be updated in terms of the types of dashboards and graphs that you can produce. They aren't as visual as some of its competitors."

"The initial setup is a little bit technical."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"Excellent value for money."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"It would be better if the price was cheaper."

"Pricing is a big advantage that Power BI has over Tableau. Power BI is three or four times cheaper than Tableau. For my personal use, I will definitely prefer a $20 monthly fee of Power BI rather than a $70 monthly fee of Tableau. If you pay altogether for Power BI, they give you a discount, whereas, with Tableau, there is no discount. There are three versions of Power BI: Free, Pro, and Premium. The Premium version comes with a lot of things. There is no extra or hidden fee. You pay every month, and the software is with you. If you upgrade, there will be some extra charges."

"Paid for itself in the first month."

"As far as I am aware you do not need a license for the solution."

"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."

"I am satisfied with its price. Its price is very less as compared to Tableau and QlikView."

"Its pricing is great."
