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Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal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 Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated.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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

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

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"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 ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"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."

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

More Jedox pros

"I like Microsoft BI's drill-down feature and its overall ease of use."

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

"Allows business users with a mission to solve their own problems, without an IT person."

"This product has a lot of features and most of them are user-friendly."

"What I liked most about the tool is that we can use text queries to create projects and modify columns according to our needs. There are hundreds of YouTube courses on how to use it."

"Its connection to every database: Whatever and wherever it is."

"It's similar to Excel, but it's much more powerful than Excel."

"The scalability overall has been quite good."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

More Jedox cons

"Microsoft Power BI can be confusing, because it has two languages that you need to learn if you want to use it, and this makes it more difficult for nontechnical users."

"When we have a big report with lots of data, the solution slows down quite a lot."

"The solution should increase the API functionality so that we can use Microsoft Power BI for other purposes and aggregate things."

"This solution's performance when handling big data could be improved. Right now, if you're handling big data, the application becomes slow and the performance is very low."

"Automation could be improved and performance enhanced."

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

"There is no specific area that I have a problem with. It's just that, with whatever feature you come across, every visual has its own formatting and behavior. What you get in one visual for a feature, you don't seem to get in another."

"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."

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 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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"Excellent value for money."

"This product offers good value for the money."

"The solution is priced well for what they offer. However, the premium version is very expensive."

"Compared to others, I think it is reasonable."

"It is a cheap solution for our needs."

"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with one being cheap and ten being expensive."

"The cost of licensing depends on the number of people that are going to be using the reports, and we are satisfied with it at $10 per user."

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

"Its pricing is great."
