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

"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."

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

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"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."

More Jedox pros

"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."

"Microsoft BI's most valuable features are the user interface, which is easy to use and light."

"Key features are its dashboard functionality and ease of integration with various data sources."

"They should add mobile access."

"The capability to add custom visuals and create Power BI apps. You can package datasets, synchronization details, and dashboards into a single app."

"The solution is easy to use and charts can be built quickly with the tools."

"Microsoft Power BI is an easy tool for data analysis."

"What I have found valuable about Microsoft BI is its performance and ease of use. The interface is very simple and it is accessible to everyone. If someone is new to this type of solution it is straightforward to understand."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"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."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

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

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

More Jedox cons

"They can improve it in terms of rule-based security. Currently, it has very limited rules."

"We would like to have better SQL support for queries."

"The admin view could be improved by making it more simplified to manage a users' activity and other things."

"Sluggish performance when handling large amounts of data."

"The look is simple, and could be a little more professional."

"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."

"It seems that the solution could use more analytics to help users draw more contextual business insights. Right now, you need other solutions for that."

"I would like for the next release to have better desktop performance, especially for big databases. Additionally, I would like to have more integrations with programs like Salesforce in order to get more live data coming in."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"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."

"Make it low in cost. It is a no-brainer!"

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."

"This solution came free, it was offered by Microsoft with our E3 license."

"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."

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

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

"We view it as an expensive product."

"It is part of our Office 365 license."
