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 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 solution is very versatile."

"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 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."

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

"The EPM 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."

More Jedox pros

"The visualizations have been the most valuable feature."

"The ability to collaborate and plan together is great."

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

"The Smart Predict, Smart Insights, and Smart Discovery predictive analysis features are quite good."

"A robust solution."

"Technical support is helpful."

"The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts."

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

More SAP Analytics Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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

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

More Jedox cons

"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."

"SAP has always had one problem with its products, they make them very closed systems that are difficult to integrate."

"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."

"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."

"It should have the flexibility for scoping the story and models. When you use it in a three-layer architecture, you struggle with the fact that you usually have just one SAP Analytics Cloud tenant, and you have to switch the connections, which might be an issue for bigger developments. For the development role, there should be an option to switch between development and production scenarios."

"Its integration or connectivity with non-SAP systems, big data, and social media, such as YouTube, LinkedIn, et cetera, can be improved. This is where SAP has limited features as compared to other solutions."

"There should be more features for the time series charts."

"There is plenty of room for improvement. They have different products, and you need to integrate all of them to have one functionality. For example, data extraction happens in Datasphere. Then it would be best if you had some connection between the Datasphere and the SAP Analytics Cloud to get the data, as this is causing headaches sometimes. The knowledge base and Jedox also could be more meaningful. I have tried to search for some specific knowledge base and technology base, and I didn't find them. I have learned it by trial and error. There is room to improve the integrations between the different products. The AFS, and the Data action, need improvement. Sometimes they release new tools and updates, but not in my area."

More SAP Analytics Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"Excellent value for money."

"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."

"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."

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

"The platform is about 50% more expensive than Power BI."

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

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

"It's not that costly as such for the time being."

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

"The product is expensive."

"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."

"I don't have the exact price for SAP Analytics Cloud, but it could be improved and made cheaper, especially when compared to Power BI."
