Jedox Reviews

We use the solution on the cloud, and Jedox hosts it. I'm the admin at my company, and we do corporate planning and management, including all the budgeting and forecasting. We also do a lot of reporting, such as monthly management reports, and we have a few HR dashboards for that. We also do a lot of actual reporting on leaves, headcounts, and standard HR reporting. We also do a lot of revenue reporting, and one of Jedox's key uses, apart from reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and planning, is we also use the solution for ETL jobs. We use Jedox as an integrator tool, so we use Jedox to get data from old systems into new systems.

The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features. It's like an online spreadsheet, so it's easy for anybody to get used to making reports on it. Jedox helps you to perform dynamic reports, which are reports that expand and contract based on variables, one of the key features.

Working with dashboards is pretty intuitive, where you have a set of variables, and if they remain consistent across your different cubes, you can control the whole report. For example, you have information from the accounting, HR, and revenue systems in an executive dashboard. If you have your dimensions common across these different systems, or "cubes," you can ask for information, which can change for any year, time, month, or department you choose. You can make dynamic reports that can refresh and appear to provide seamless information to the end user, who just needs to change some variables to get the reports they want. However, at the back end, you have a complex system pulling information from different systems. That's one of the key features I found.

Suppose you want to have reports that expand. For example, if you have a list of employees, you might want to know how much was paid to each employee in a department. You can change the department, so if one department has 100 employees and the other has 20 employees, you'll want the report to expand and contract when you switch between departments. It's very easy to do that in Jedox. From the reporting point of view, this is a valuable feature. I found it intuitive with ETL jobs because Jedox graphs on the side, so you can see which jobs depend on which. You can visually follow jobs end to end without painstakingly figuring out which job depends on which one.

Jedox works well across different systems. You can integrate Salesforce, RBI, and standard databases to make API calls. It's easy to do all that out of the box without doing a lot of manual API integration.

We mainly used Jedox at my company as our BI tool. It is connected to SAP in the backend. At the end of each month, we used Jedox to analyze our financial performance, particularly the income statement (P and L). 

Jedox has its own web version, so we can access it using Google Chrome. The great thing about it is that it has an Excel add-in, allowing us to customize and build our own reports. This was primarily our use case - reviewing financial performance across different businesses at the end of the month.

Excel add-in is a really valuable feature.

The solution is used for Forecasting business expenses.

The customer porting is the most valuable feature.

I use the solution to develop large-scale enterprise solutions for our customers.

What I like about the product is the opportunities it provides. It is not preconfigured or defined. We can have connections to different scripting tools. We also have APIs, charts, data connections, and a lot of useful tools. 

We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions. The product has released a tool for us to watch the different regions of the world and see if there are any downtime or issues on the server. It is helpful.

My company and I use it for cost center reporting and P&L reporting. We also use it for planning.

The solution is very versatile. It's difficult to compare it to other tools. So, that's all I can say since I am just using it, to be honest. It's very difficult to explain. It is difficult to say if the tool is simple or not since sometimes it's complicated, but it might be just the way my company has set it up. Hence, I am not quite sure. I find the solution to be useful.

I like the solution's UI and UX.

We use the solution for reporting to the stakeholders which includes subsidiary managers, profit center managers, and the board. 

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. 

Jedox is the software we use for financial consolidation, management reporting, planning, and forecasting.

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

The modeling aspect is also quite simple. In addition, the planning function offers useful assistance features. Those are the primary elements.

We build budgeting, forecasting, and planning solutions. So we work a lot in the hospitality industry. So, for example, we utilize Jedox to create hospitality solutions. Currently, we have four hotel groups that rely on our software.

And they do everything from their room planning to their meal and the average cost of beverages. And the whole P and L, basically depending on the type of organization they are.

The flexibility of the solution is valuable as it allows for customization. Since I am a developer, so the rules, FinTech editor, is probably the most valuable part to me. The ETL function makes it easy to do most things. And now, the integration with Power BI makes it powerful.
