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.

Ensuring efficient data analysis and reporting while identifying areas for calculation and export improvements

The features of Oracle Essbase are valuable, such as its multi-dimensional database used for dynamic calculations and reporting purposes. These features are valuable because they support multi-dimensional data views, allowing users to analyze relationships across various data categories and establish a comprehensive perspective on business operations. Moreover, dynamic calculations allow real-time data analysis, significantly improving the accuracy and depth of financial insights. I have utilized Essbase's data aggregation capabilities. The Oracle Essbase interface provides a good user experience, allowing users to easily navigate and analyze data with fast query performance, effective data visualization tools such as charts, graphs, and tables, and flexibility for customizable analysis and reporting, including the ability to create ad hoc reports. The benefits of the interface include improving productivity and enhancing decision-making.

Cons

"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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

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

"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."

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

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."

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

"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."

More Jedox cons

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

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

"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."

"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 initial setup is pretty complex."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

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

"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."

"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."

"It is a costly solution."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"Essbase is competitively priced."
