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.

Data integration has improved reserving and expense control while collaboration drives fast dashboards

Regarding drawbacks or weak points in Microsoft Power BI, it may not be directly related to the tool itself, but with our architecture, as we couldn't get a service account, which is an email address that has no relationship with the employees, just to establish the connection with Anaplan. We couldn't get it to work on SSO, so we use an employee account which could be a point of weakness, meaning if the person leaves, that connection will break. If the person goes on holiday and we need to refresh, we have to change the connection as well, but we have to live with that since we're not using SSO on the service account. Regarding the natural language processing feature, we're trying to avoid using it too much because it can slow down the connection, so as much as possible, we try to build the logic and any transformation in Anaplan, and then deliver an end product to Microsoft Power BI.

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."

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

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"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."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

More Jedox pros

"It's easy to create reports and it's easy to download the data from the corresponding report."

"One of the key factors why I use Power BI is because it's very flexible with other Microsoft tools."

"It allows individuals to do the analysis themselves."

"The solution has a good toggling feature."

"The solution is very easy to use."

"It is a pretty straightforward and flexible solution for data integration and modeling. It is a low-code solution. When you are doing data integration, you can use the GUI, which is very simple and straightforward. You can also do very intricate custom queries and model it at different levels. It is very easy to use and scalable."

"In contrast to what we were using before I think that Power BI has given us more extensive results."

"SSRS and the Tabular server/Vertipaq engine/DAX are probably the two most valuable components."

More Microsoft Power BI pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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

"Technical support could be a bit better."

"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."

"License fee structure. Mobile Reporting Services is only available for the "Enterprise" edition of SQL Server 2016."

"There's always room for improvement for Microsoft Power BI, especially for the UX and the menus to make it more accessible to business users."

"Microsoft BI could improve by allowing large-size data sources. We have large data sources, and we have problems loading them in Microsoft BI."

"Most clients have MacBooks. Therefore, they use Tableau as Power BI Desktop is not available for the MacBook right now."

"There are certain features that are only available in the cloud version. It would be beneficial if they could be brought down to the on-premise version without the necessity of using the enterprise SQL database, as that can be very costly. We need more cost-effective features that are available in the cloud to be accessible on-premise."

"The only challenge I have found is that they do not have a Mac version."

More Microsoft Power BI cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

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

"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."

"Microsoft BI is free for the personal edition, but there is also a paid-for professional version."

"Microsoft BI is not expensive."

"Costs less than most competing solutions."

"Regarding cost, the initial investment wasn't too high, but ongoing licensing could add up."

"Pricing, that's where Microsoft beats Tableau. It is priced much cheaper."

"The licensing can be complicated."

"They have a free Power BI Desktop version, but it has limitations."

"There is a license for this solution and we purchase them annually."
