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.

Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization

Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"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 ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"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 solution is very versatile."

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

More Jedox pros

"Show Me is a feature to help with knowing which chart is an appropriate one for the selected variables, and it makes helps in creating appropriate visuals."

"The solution makes for very productive and really informative decision making. It can lead the whole business and build a strategy across whole working departments."

"Better interaction and less time spent with end users."

"The most important feature in Tableau is visual analytics."

"Tableau reduces manual labor and resources, providing cost-effective solutions for our operations."

"The most valuable features of the solution are the permission management and the user management."

"The data blending capabilities is a huge factor for our team."

"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

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

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

"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 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."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

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

"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."

More Jedox cons

"The use of this service in the desktop version is annoying due to the constant updates which lead to reinstalling the application. If they could give support with updates on the same downloaded version, it would be great."

"Formatting controls could use some improvement."

"There could be improvements on the mobile application, it is lacking features."

"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."

"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."

"It needs a little bit more advanced modeling. I would like to see functionality like Cognos has in the Framework Manager."

"I find data prepping in Tableau challenging to understand, perhaps because I am new to it. It sometimes requires extensive investigation to determine why the data does not appear correctly."

"There are restrictions in scheduling reports. For instance, we cannot send the entire Excel file reports via email within Tableau."

More Tableau Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"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."

"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."

"Tableau can be costly (but this can be indefinable, such as user experience vs. cheaper etc.)"

"The cost is high."

"The licensing model of Tableau has changed since we initially purchased it three years ago and it is more complicated, and I have found it to be more expensive. They have lost market shares to Microsoft BI. My company will probably change solutions this year because of the increased pricing model."

"I downloaded the solution online for free."

"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. My guess would be that it is $1000 or less per year. We might go for Power BI in the future because of its umbrella with Microsoft licensing. It is much cheaper for us to use Power BI, and some folks will go in that direction because they don't want to pay the higher license."

"The price is definitely a point because smaller firms don't use Tableau as it's an expensive tool."

"Be careful with the Tableau Viewer's licenses, and stay with the right number of users."

"It is fairly expensive. I have no idea what they paid. We were on an enterprise license, so whatever it is they licensed at the enterprise level is what we paid."
