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 EPM is the most valuable feature."

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

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

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"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 solution is very versatile."

More Jedox pros

"The stability is good."

"The product is scalable."

"The product is easy to use and simple to navigate."

"Microsoft BI's most valuable feature is flexibility."

"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Power BI is the drill-through feature that takes you to a details page the users want to see."

"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."

"It is a little easier at buildings charts and graphs than Tableau."

"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."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

More Jedox cons

"I would like to see better, undisturbed stability without any interruptions."

"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."

"The issue with the data refresh frequency in Microsoft Power BI is that it's not frequent enough."

"Areas of Power BI that could be improved are the learning curve for developers who come from non-technical backgrounds."

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

"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."

"Integrating it with the physics build model or the engineering model should be included."

"The solution could improve by providing more free visuals. A lot of them are very nice but you have to purchase them."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"Excellent value for money."

"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."

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

"Microsoft BI for desktop is free to use, and you can download and use it."

"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."

"Power BI is cheaper than Tableau and Cognos."

"Microsoft BI requires licenses."

"From a cost point of view, it's competitive in the enterprise space, although it's not as competitive when you add up all of the additional costs. Things like integrations cost extra and it's probably where Microsoft makes more of the money."

"The price of the license can be better."

"I believe that the price is reasonable, at least for an enterprise solution."

"If you purchase a license for a server, for users, or the professional version, you might not have to. The free version I think it can satisfy many customers' needs."
