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.

Seamless integration, collaborative features, and enhances data exploration

There are several areas for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud. Firstly, features available in SAP Lumira are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud. Secondly, the predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use. Lastly, the pricing model for the planning functionality is quite high and presents an entry barrier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 EPM is the most valuable feature."

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

"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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"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."

More Jedox pros

"We are satisfied with the technical support from SAP because when we reached out, we were able to get very good support from SAP colleagues."

"SAP is very scalable."

"Data integration is very good."

"Real-time data makes for a single version of the truth."

"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. We haven't tried all of the features yet. The graphing and the ease of using the analytics tools have been great. It's all drag and drop; you don't need to code anything."

"The new Application Design option offers lots of customization options by being able to script in Typescript (similar to Javascript)."

"All of the modules that we used to have separately in our on-premises solution are now integrated into one platform."

"In my opinion, it is good for analytics. Everything is in the cloud."

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

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

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

More Jedox cons

"Some algorithms are complex and can't be processed by just tagging the data and expecting results."

"Improvements are coming quarterly whereas previously it was on a monthly basis."

"One potential improvement is how we can transpose data. With SAP, if you have data from one system with a declared data type and a different system with another data type, the transfer is tricky."

"SAP could add some more visualization features to Analytics Cloud, like charts and analytics. I would also like to see some more data cleaning and ad hoc functions added to this solution."

"An area for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud is its planning feature because it's not that efficient when compared to BPC. Another area for improvement in the solution is the difficulty in building reports or dashboards, particularly if you don't have proper knowledge of the BI system. SAP Analytics Cloud technical support also needs improvement."

"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."

"AI doesn't work as well with SAP live connections."

"I am not happy with the predictive analytics features and smart features offered by the product, making them areas where improvements are required."

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."

"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."

"Excellent value for money."

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."

"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."

"It Wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users."

"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."

"SAP Analytics Cloud is a bit higher [in price]. Because, if Microsoft can afford a better product and lower cost, SAP can afford at least the same, or even lower."

"The tool's pricing is medium, and licensing costs are yearly."

"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."

"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
