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.

Use advanced data preparation features in analytics projects

Microsoft Power BI can be quite slow when working with data sources that aren't from a data warehouse or a more robust source or data artifact. When working with exports, which we do frequently, the load takes considerable time. This occurs with any BI tool, and it's related to our working methods due to limitations within the area. In HR, we typically use exports because we have numerous data sources. Ideally, Microsoft Power BI would have a no-code or low-code solution for the data sources to be built by the actual developers or development team. This would eliminate the need to work directly with exports. We would have a middle ground to create a warehouse without all the infrastructure, as building a warehouse within an organization can require substantial resources, both in time and personnel.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"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."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"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."

More Jedox pros

"The most valuable feature is integration with Python."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature is shareability, where we can publish work to the cloud and share it with team members."

"It works well with SSAS, which we use to generate all different kinds of trending and analytics reports. Sometimes we use Power Query and DAX to build some aggregations on the Power BI side as well."

"One of the most valuable features of Power BI is the ease of use. It is comfortable and there is not a steep learning curve for this solution. If you have some idea of the data and basic visualization ideas, you can use this solution comfortably."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft BI is its visualization and its ease of use."

"There are some great automation elements in the product."

"The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."

Cons

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

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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 not much training for Jedox."

More Jedox cons

"We found out that you can't share a report with others unless you have an additional package. That caught us off guard. It came as a program that somebody could go in, build a report, and show it, but you can't share it without having additional licenses."

"I would like to see the product offer more graphics to impact different audiences."

"Most clients have MacBooks. Therefore, they use Tableau as Power BI Desktop is not available for the MacBook right now."

"The interface could be improved."

"The cost of the solution can get high."

"The initial installation is difficult."

"The data source definition is all over the place."

"It should have more report outputs. They should expand the report outputs. Its documentation should also be better."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"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."

"Microsoft BI is not very cheap. A premium license costs roughly 5,000 euros a month."

"The price for this solution is reasonable. However, there is an additional cost if you want to publish the dashboard privately."

"The pricing for the solution is relatively higher compared to other alternatives."

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

"Microsoft Power BI has reasonable pricing."

"Power BI is cost-effective compared to other reporting tools."

"The only other cost, besides the licensing fee, would be to cover support."

"Price is the best feature of Power BI! You get a lot of value for the price. If you know how to use it, it's a great BI solution for your money."
