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.

Ensuring efficient data analysis and reporting while identifying areas for calculation and export improvements

The features of Oracle Essbase are valuable, such as its multi-dimensional database used for dynamic calculations and reporting purposes. These features are valuable because they support multi-dimensional data views, allowing users to analyze relationships across various data categories and establish a comprehensive perspective on business operations. Moreover, dynamic calculations allow real-time data analysis, significantly improving the accuracy and depth of financial insights. I have utilized Essbase's data aggregation capabilities. The Oracle Essbase interface provides a good user experience, allowing users to easily navigate and analyze data with fast query performance, effective data visualization tools such as charts, graphs, and tables, and flexibility for customizable analysis and reporting, including the ability to create ad hoc reports. The benefits of the interface include improving productivity and enhancing decision-making.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 use the tool for performance management and planning."

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

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

"The solution is very versatile."

More Jedox pros

"The solution is scalable."

"The solution can handle a large volume of data."

"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."

"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."

"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"Oracle Essbase is a web integration system that integrates with other data systems."

"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."

More Oracle Essbase pros

Cons

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

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

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

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

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

More Jedox cons

"The solution could enhance business analytics. I delved into the data using Oracle Essbase to create a new support tool."

"The initial setup is pretty complex."

"A significant area for improvement in Oracle Essbase is that financial statement analysis, CAPEX and OPEX analysis, and financial consolidation must be done manually, as Oracle Essbase doesn't include the financial consolidation module that is available in EPM."

"The main concern is that Oracle is ending on-premises server support, so it would be better if there was a cloud platform available for Oracle Essbase."

"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."

"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."

"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."

"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."

More Oracle Essbase cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"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."

"Excellent value for money."

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

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

"It is a costly solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"I believe the licensing is on a monthly base."

"Essbase is competitively priced."
