Jedox vs Oracle Essbase comparison

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

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

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

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

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

"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 solution is very versatile."

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

"Oracle Essbase is a web integration system that integrates with other data systems."

"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."

"The solution can handle a large volume of data."

"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."

"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."

"Oracle's capability to define custom hierarchies and dimensions has helped my organization in performing nuanced data exploration and advanced modeling because we use Oracle Essbase for dimension definition and also to define the properties of these members, such as dynamic members, stored members, shared members."

"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."

"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."

"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."

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

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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."

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

"The solution could enhance business analytics. I delved into the data using Oracle Essbase to create a new support tool."

"The initial setup is pretty complex."

"The main concern is that Oracle is ending on-premises server support, so it would be better if there was a cloud platform available for Oracle Essbase."

"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."

"They should improve the solution's performance."

"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."

"A significant area for improvement in Oracle Essbase is that financial statement analysis, CAPEX and OPEX analysis, and financial consolidation must be done manually, as Oracle Essbase doesn't include the financial consolidation module that is available in EPM."

"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."

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

"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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

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

"Essbase is competitively priced."

"It is a costly solution."

"I believe the licensing is on a monthly base."

"The solution is expensive."
