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Facilitates seamless data aggregation with some outdated visual elements hindering user appeal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 Visualization could be improved as it appears outdated.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.

Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services

Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization

Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

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 solution is very versatile."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"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."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

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

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

More Jedox pros

"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good. It is very easy to use. You can easily make your dashboard."

"The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources."

"It's the analytic engine in terms of the interface on the Power BI environment, as opposed to pivot tables, and it's a mobile solution."

"The most valuable feature is definitely the visual aspect and the DAX capabilities to virtually do anything."

"I like that I can use Power BI to upload data. That is very important for me. The visualization is also convenient and easy to use."

"What I like most is that I can do everything in Power BI that I can do in Excel."

"It's a straightforward setup."

"The virtualization of Microsoft BI is very good."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."

"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."

"The stability seems to be very reliable."

"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."

"The ability to deploy is the added ability to centralise the Tableau repository for all Tableau Developers."

"The most important feature is the tool is very easy to use. This makes it simple to introduce it to CxOs. After a rapid demo, they are usual impressed by the results shown, because it has such a rare simplicity."

"It is easy to use, and it can handle a large amount of data."

"Tableau's performance is really good, and it is adding new features."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

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."

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

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

"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."

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

More Jedox cons

"It has come a long way in terms of how it was working two years ago, but there are some things that you still can't do with it. For example, permission management and user access management are still a bit limited. It is basically based on the idea that everybody from the organization can see everything or limit the type of data they can see. If I want you to see only one report and the other guy to see another report, I can't do it. There should be a better way to manage permissions and users. It should also support external users much better."

"Lacks the ability to copy data from BI into PowerPoint."

"We face multiple issues, and the connection drops off multiple times while integrating Microsoft Power BI with OAC and pulling in the data."

"People without private emails cannot publish and, frankly, this doesn't allow for easy training."

"Its performance and stability can be improved. It takes time to load, and sometimes, it also breaks down for the whole region. Its usability could also be better, and it could also have more connections with different data sources."

"One of the more difficult things to do is to export some of the data from Power BI to Excel."

"I am a SAP user and I would like this tool to have more connectors - and to more easily connect to - the ERP or SAP environment."

"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

"Creating empty extracts is not easy."

"Licensing and pricing options could be made better so that more users would be able to use it."

"Navigating through activities like cleansing, reshaping, and wrangling extensive or complicated datasets could prove challenging within the Tableau environment."

"Its integration with Microsoft products such as Teams should be improved."

"Firstly, the high cost of Tableau licenses makes it inaccessible for many mid-scale clients. Secondly, the server requires at least 128GB of RAM, which can be impractical for some systems. We need a dedicated system to use Tableau."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."

"Include forecasting on table calculation fields."

More Tableau Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"If it has to be applied on the cloud, then it costs around $10 per month per user. For a pro license and for a premium license it's around $20 per month per user. If it has to be applied on-premises then, depending on the course of your server, you have to buy a software assurance version of the database."

"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."

"Compared to what's available on the market, I think we pay a fair price."

"MS BI comes with all the tools and it is, to the best of my knowledge, the most affordable solution."

"We have a professional license for Microsoft BI and the price is fair."

"They have a free Power BI Desktop version, but it has limitations."

"Microsoft BI is considered to be competitively priced when compared to other similar solutions in the market."

"We have enterprise licenses and some of the other tools or features come as a package and others you have to purchase separately."

More Microsoft Power BI pricing and cost advice

"For the use and the capability of the software, it's $70 per month, and that is quite inexpensive."

"If they want to be competitive in the market, the price must be improved."

"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."

"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."

"Best advice on pricing is to anticipate the desire for more licenses once the results of this product are acknowledged in other parts of your company."

"The pricing is $70 per month. You have to pay about $800 or something in that ballpark annually for one license."

"Tableau's licensing is pretty straightforward and simple."

"It is expensive when you compare it with Power BI. It should be cheaper."
