Riyaz Halani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.

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."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The solution is very versatile."
"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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"E-T-L, The Extract, Transform, and Loading capabilities of QlikView make it a highly sophisticated self-service business intelligence tool for developers and analysts."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"This solution has simplified getting to and understanding our data, no matter where it is housed."
"The scalability is there."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Our Qlikview applications help us to get a good idea of our Client Base Performance and assist us in the decision making for Seasonal Specials. On the other hand QlikView helps us to get a grasp on our Suppliers and helps us to negotiate pricing with them."
"The solution is fast."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"The solution is quite costly."
"There is a challenge on the frontend when it comes to browsing data through QlikView, as it isn't entirely compatible with other platforms we use."
"The user interface and ease of use takes a bit of a learning curve to pick up."
"They could improve the speed."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"QlikView lacks self-service capabilities, which means users depend on the IT team to make changes."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Excellent value for money."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"The pricing is moderate, in the medium price range."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"It is not very expensive. I think it it is on par with other similar products on the market."
"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"It is expensive for small companies."
"I rate QlikView's pricing a five out of ten."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."

If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for QlikView?
The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually, and since we are South African-based, that needs to be multiplied.
What needs improvement with QlikView?
In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging t...
