Riyaz Halani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Automation of financial processes streamlines operations but pricing needs improvement
Our clients mostly use Hyperion for their financial requirements, including budgeting, forecasting, and planning The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel. The workflow management of planning and the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The scalability is good."
"Oracle has an integrated solution for Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Hyperion. It keeps the two platforms opened up to each other."
"This solution provides a more structured methodology for doing analysis than a tool like Excel. It creates a central database that keeps all information in one place."
"Oracle Hyperion has helped make things work faster in our company."
"We can integrate with any system and pull data from SAP or SQL Server. We can also design our own role files to establish how we pull the file data and store it in our database."
"Smart View is a really useful tool because we can have a good API with HFM."
"It's a very good program and it's useful for consolidation."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
 

Cons

"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 needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is a significant concern. After moving to PBCS and EPBCS, the per-user license fees can be reduced, particularly for bulk users."
"I would like to see more integrations with third-party vendors such as BigSense and SAP. I'm looking forward to seeing more interface-related content."
"The Oracle technical support in our area is terrible."
"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."
"Hyperion has much room for improvement, especially disaster recovery. You don't have the option to choose the proper disaster recovery method. We have Hyperion and an SQL server on the backend. We have active solutions for the backend database server, which aren't working for our people. They've asked us to remove the high availability to increase application performance."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"Oracle Hyperion's scalability could be improved."
"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"Excellent value for money."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
