Antonio Flor - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data integration enhances operational efficiency and flexibility
As a client developer and solutions architect, I use Anaplan for building modules and deploying logic end-to-end. I work closely with the business in an agile manner to ensure the model aligns with business needs Anaplan offers flexibility in building different options within the platform. The…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"You don't need to have a programming language to use Anaplan."
"Anaplan provides 130 GB of cloud storage for organizations to use as part of their license."
"Anaplan's strongest feature is that its GUI is very modern and user-friendly."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"The solution works very well for budgeting."
"I am impressed with the tool’s real-time calculations and intuitive interface. The tool’s user interface is the best compared to other software that I have worked with. I also find the tool’s management reporting feature valuable."
"Anaplan's scalability stands out compared to other platforms, especially for scenario planning and what-if analysis."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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 ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by better dashboards and while entering the form loss and project implementation the ability to use graphical shapes more effectively."
"The price of the solution can improve."
"There are workspace issues, like the limitation on model sizes."
"The solution can improve by providing an easier form of integration to different platforms, such as receiving data from different Salesforce. There is a process to do it through the use of some APIs but it could be made much easier. This would be a large help to us."
"There are so many business rules to set up in the system that as a business user it's hard to gauge what they're doing and it's possible to get lost."
"Anaplan could enhance its user interface by including a more user-friendly API."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"It would be nice if the solution offered better extensions."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"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."
"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."
"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."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for 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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A value-for-money product and a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"The license is a yearly subscription. There are three licensing tiers: the model builder, planner, and the reporting."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable and competitive with other solutions."
"Anaplan is a bit pricier compared to its competitors - the license costs about $4,000 per user annually."
"We are currently using a free workspace license for 90 days. We are satisfied with the price of the solution. There are additional costs if you want more storage, the default limit is 250 GB."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive product and if the price were reduced then it would attract more customers."
"The entry-level is anywhere from about $30,000 to $50,000 a year, however, it does go up significantly after that depending on the complexity and how much space you're using."
"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."
"Excellent value for money."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"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."
