Peter Berge

Jedox Consultant at Qbit Aps

An easy-to-deploy product with a lot of useful tools and features that provides complete freedom to create solutions

I have worked with the solution for many years. I have worked several 1000 hours in Jedox. I really like the tool and its opportunities. It's evolving, improving, and adding new features. If someone is looking to use the product, they must reach out to a partner or consultant. When a solution has all the opportunities, it's not really a plug-and-play tool. They have some options for it. It is another good thing about Jedox. We can create certain models people often use, like cash flows and currency conversion. It doesn't need much configuring. We can just purchase on a subscription basis and start using some parts of it. If you want to start looking into it, you should definitely contact someone who's made large solutions to see all the opportunities that the tool has. It is vast. Overall, I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Real-time data connection enhances workflow and decision-making process

An area for improvement in Tableau is the Explorer license type. It is not as useful, and the product owner should enhance its benefits or clarify its role. Additionally, the frequent updates with many versions available for download can be confusing and could affect stability. They should avoid providing access to older versions on their website.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The solution is very versatile."

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

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

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

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

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

More Jedox pros

"The stability seems to be very reliable."

"The product’s performance is better than other tools."

"From the data science point of view, we use it for model building purposes. For example, if we are using it for a bank and we want to understand how much loan the bank can provide, we can use visualization to show the educational qualification, salary, gender, and city of a customer, and by using this information, we can arrive at the loan amount that this person is eligible for. I can also use it to view all prospective customers, so essentially, this is going to help me in model building as well as in understanding and segmenting customers and doing forecasting and predictive analytics. We use model widgets, and we can create thousands of visualizations, such as motion charts and bubble charts. We can also create animated versions of the graphs and view the data from multiple dimensions. These are the features that we typically use and like."

"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."

"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."

"The most valuable part of the solution is the general dashboard features."

"While using this solution I have found the valuable features to be ease of use and the visualization. It is a complete solution."

"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive features."

More Tableau pros

Cons

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

More Jedox cons

"It should offer better features for customization."

"Its integration with Microsoft products such as Teams should be improved."

"The charts in Tableau are quite limited."

"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."

"When I've done presentations in the past, I've had issues with uploading the cartography."

"Requires a lot of user training."

"It will be good if the server, could be more stable, and I would like to have the technical service to be more reliable."

"The process of embedding the dashboards on external portals and websites could be improved."

More Tableau cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"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."

"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 always consider pricing when considering a new solution. We are a non-profit and price is a huge concern."

"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."

"I believe it has a lifelong license, and once you purchase it, you don't have to renew it, but I'm not sure."

"There is a license for the use of this solution and it is on a per-user basis. The server is free but the users you have to pay for."

"At $70 per month, I think the price is a bit scary. I have a small consulting firm in Ghana, working in about 15 different African countries, and when it comes to our part of the world, $70 a month is a lot of money for software."

"For our organization, the cost hasn't been an issue."

"Its price is higher than Power BI and QlikView. Tableau costs around $70 per user per month, whereas Power BI is around $8 to $9. QlikView is around $30. Tableau has various prices for various models such as Creator, Designer."

"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."

Tableau is a tool for data visualization and business intelligence that allows businesses to report insights through easy-to-use, customizable visualizations and dashboards. Tableau makes it exceedingly simple for its customers to organize, manage, visualize, and comprehend data. It enables users to dig deep into the data so that they can see patterns and gain meaningful insights.

Make data-driven decisions with confidence thanks to Tableau’s assistance in providing faster answers to queries, solving harder problems more easily, and offering new insights more frequently. Tableau integrates directly to hundreds of data sources, both in the cloud and on premises, making it simpler to begin research. People of various skill levels can quickly find actionable information using Tableau’s natural language queries, interactive dashboards, and drag-and-drop capabilities. By quickly creating strong calculations, adding trend lines to examine statistical summaries, or clustering data to identify relationships, users can ask more in-depth inquiries.

Tableau has many valuable key features:

Tableau dashboards provide a complete view of your data through visualizations, visual objects, text, and more.
Tableau provides convenient, real-time options to collaborate with other users and instantly share data in the form of visualizations, sheets, and dashboards.
Tableau ensures connectivity to both live data sources and data extraction from external data sources as in-memory data. This gives users the flexibility to use data from more than one source without any restrictions.
Tableau gives many data source option, ranging from spreadsheets, big data, on-premise files, relational databases, non-relational databases, data warehouses, and big data, to on-cloud data.
Tableau has a lot of pre-installed information on maps, such as cities, postal codes, and administrative boundaries.
Tableau has a foolproof security system based on authentication and permission systems for data connections and user access. Tableau also gives you the freedom to integrate with other security protocols.

Tableau stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Some of these include its fast data access, easy creation of visualizations, and its stability. PeerSpot users take note of the advantages of these features in their reviews:

Romil S., Deputy General Manager of IT at Nayara Energy, notes, "Its visualizations are good, and its features make the development process a little less time-consuming. It has an in-memory extract feature that allows us to extract data and keep it on the server, and then our users can use it quickly.

Ariful M., Consulting Practice Partner of Data, Analytics & AI at FH, writes, “Tableau is very flexible and easy to learn. It has drag-and-drop function analytics, and its design is very good.”
