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.

Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services

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

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

"The solution is very versatile."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"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."

More Jedox pros

"It provides supporting data for critical policy and operational changes"

"I really like the interactivity of the dashboards."

"Although Tableau isn't the best for us when it comes to processing and working on live data, it is very good at extracting data for analysis."

"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."

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

"Data handling, visualizations, and aesthetics of it are the most valuable features."

"The solution helps users create dashboards and analyze data without relying on IT or product teams."

"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

"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."

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

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

"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 Jedox cons

"The development part should be better. We are putting a lot of effort in during development, so if we face any struggles, we have to find workaround solutions on the internet."

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

"The forecasting feature in Tableau in my view is too limited because it must have dates but I should be able to predict the outcome of an event without having a date as part of the input."

"It's not an aesthetic platform at the moment."

"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."

"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."

"What is happening, with so many tools coming up in the market, is that people have to continuously get educated in order to use some of the more advanced features."

"We have products like Tableau, Power BI, Cognos, and QlikView in the data visualization segment. Compared to those, Tableau is quite costly."

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."

"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."

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

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

"The value for money is definitely there."

"In general, if someone is new and wants to learn Tableau, it's around $70 per month."

"Its cost is quite high. A corporate license costs about 150-200K per year for all the users, but there was probably some discounted amount. This cost includes everything."

"The cost of the solution should be improved."

"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."

"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."

"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."

"It is expensive when you compare it with Power BI. It should be cheaper."
