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

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"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."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The roll-up potential of the product is very good, meaning we have detailed information and we want it to be summarized, based on geography, based on different product lines, or based on different charts of accounts in the general ledger. It rolls up the information in a very concise way. This makes it easy to understand the overall performance, for it's forecasting aspects, or quarterly reporting, year to year, or month to month reporting."
"The stability is fine and quite user friendly."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"The most valuable features are those associated with modules and SP, IT in this space, planning, HFM, and PME."
"The scalability is good."
"The tool is very scalable and powerful. It helps us with financial reporting and performance reporting. It is a very good tool for consolidation and budgeting. We are dependent on it for reporting."
"Functionality-wise, it is what they say it is. It is the best in class, but it all ties back to your users. If your users are completely enamored with Excel spreadsheets, then breaking those habits is hard."
"Oracle Hyperion is fairly user-friendly and not too complicated. The forecasting, it's really good. It's sometimes slow when there are a lot of users using it and we can have up to approximately 300 users using it. However, you can do it in Excel because there's an Excel add-in. This is a benefit because a lot of people do this way instead of having to go into the planning application itself."
 

Cons

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"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."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"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."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"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 level of complexity of the implementation is always a challenge."
"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"There can be an improvement in many regards with the dimensions, the metadata, the interfaces, as well as the integration."
"All the planning systems out there are great. It doesn't matter which company you use. They're all great. I've seen demonstrations on a number of them, but it all boils down to the culture within the organization itself to use that functionality, understand it, and help drive it. I've had Oracle salespeople do demonstrations, and it looked really good. We get it on board, and everybody still sticks to their Excel spreadsheets because companies are a lot more complex than what you could deliver on the planning system. So, there should be more education on the capabilities, and there should be more understanding of organizations in terms of the way they access the data in order to plan."
"It is challenging to do reporting on Oracle Hyperion if you're not an expert."
"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."
"Improvements are needed in the tool's performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"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."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"Excellent value for money."
"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 licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"The solution is affordable."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
