Jedox vs Oracle Essbase comparison

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

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

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

"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 EPM is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is very versatile."

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

"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."

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

"Essbase is a kind of backbone, or back end, for systems like Hyperion Planning."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 initial setup could be simplified."

"They should improve the solution's performance."

"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."

"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."

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

"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."

"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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"Essbase is competitively priced."

"It is a costly solution."
