Financial Controller at Zalando SE
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.

Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The data entry point is most valuable, and the way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"Oracle Hyperion is an engine allowing you to build whatever you want on it."
"I believe that by implementing it a lot of organizations’ manual processes have been automated."
"Speed of data is the biggest key for our users."
"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"This product has been helping the organization to implement complex budgeting models."
"It is a multi user web based system, which is easier for us to deploy since we have a global presence."
"One can see that it's a mature product because it addresses all the requirements that you must need for financial consolidation and for budgeting and planning. It's really easy to use."
"We can do budgeting on time and provide an accurate forecast."
 

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 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."
"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."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."
"It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming."
"There's something known as a data block that Hyperion generates for each and every transaction. Sometimes it does not generate and we need to identify those issues and fix them manually."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
"If I wanted to add another hundred users tomorrow, it wouldn’t do that."
"Our experience with the support team was not great."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"This solution's stability is a little problematic."
"Hyperion has always been a top financial solution, but it had the reputation of being complex and not-so-easy to use."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
 

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."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Excellent value for money."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
