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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

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

"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."

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

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

"The solution is very versatile."

More Jedox pros

"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."

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

"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."

"Oracle Essbase enables organizations to take their strategic decisions, which helps them make the right decisions at the right time."

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

"With Oracle Essbase, everything is centralized in a comprehensive financial statement analysis, allowing for complete management of budget, actuals analysis, and forecast."

"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."

Cons

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

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

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

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

"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."

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

More Jedox cons

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

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

"It's an expensive product to use."

"I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool."

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

"The initial setup could be simplified."

"They should improve the solution's performance."

"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."

More Oracle Essbase cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

"Essbase is competitively priced."

"It is a costly solution."
