Featured Reviews

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.

Seamless integration, collaborative features, and enhances data exploration
There are several areas for improvement in SAP Analytics Cloud. Firstly, features available in SAP Lumira are missing in SAP Analytics Cloud. Secondly, the predictive analytics functions, although promising, are currently only suitable for Proof of Concepts (POCs) and not for industrial-scale use. Lastly, the pricing model for the planning functionality is quite high and presents an entry barrier.

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 ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"Provides rich features for developing automated reports and dashboards."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."
"It is scalable."
"The most valuable features of SAP Analytics Cloud are its native integration with SAP data and the ability to leverage SAP artifacts."
"We are satisfied with the technical support from SAP because when we reached out, we were able to get very good support from SAP colleagues."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"Considering the reporting part, I rate the tool a nine out of ten."
"Data integration is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"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."
"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 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."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"The connection works only for importing data. Currently, there is no real-time integration between SAP Analytics Cloud and CRM. There are some features present in the classic but not in the optimized version. If I need to create something specific, I often have to switch the versions. It would be more convenient to have a single product that incorporates all the necessary features."
"Connection and integration with other applications have a lot of restrictions at the moment."
"We need to know that we are using the latest and greatest, and SAP appears as if it has lost some credit in the market.​"
"It seems like there's a problem with the tool's licenses. If there are a lot of users, like 200, who only use the solution once a year, paying for a full-year license for each user is expensive. There's no option for users who only use the solution occasionally."
"I would like to see reporting to the Analytics cloud directly."
"Some of the standard visualizations, such as a speedometer or a goal chart, are not there and should be added."
"It's lacking a bit in maturity and we find we can't run our business off it until it's improved."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"Its pricing is okay as compared to its competitors."
"Its price is slightly on the higher side."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"This solution is pricey."
"The price is competitive. There is a power user license and normal user license, but the normal user license is reasonable."
"It is a bit expensive, but really worth it, especially if you are already using other SAP tools."
"The pricing of this product is reasonable."

Which would you choose - Tableau or SAP Analytics Cloud?
Tableau is easy to set up and maintain. In about a day it is possible for the entire platform to be deployed for use. This relatively short amount of time can make all the difference for companies ...
What do you like most about SAP Analytics Cloud?
In the data warehouse, you're free to make changes. You can make everything text, meaning it's always a string. Even numbers appear as text, giving you the flexibility to work with all columns.
What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for SAP Analytics Cloud?
I normally do not deal with the commercials, so I am not aware of the pricing part of it.
