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

"The solution is very versatile."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"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 ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."

"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 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 can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

More Jedox pros

"SAP Analytics Cloud is very easy to use, and you don't require much technology. It has a very good library and analytics. It is easy to configure and offers good visualization."

"In the most recent release, the schedule publication was officially updated and it's been added on MS Office 365. I like how we had an EPM for B to C perspective; it's a great enhancement. Also, I believe the B to B connectivity has been improved. Android support for mobile is really good also. Power BI has always had android support in place, so manual support for SAP Analytics Cloud is also a very good feature."

"Data integration is very good."

"It is easy to integrate with SAP ERP and BW systems, allowing smooth data transfer and live connections without much development."

"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."

"SAP Analytics Cloud is superior to other tools in terms of planning and forecasting."

"The most valuable features are the analytical application and the user story."

"SAP Analytics Cloud is easy to create charts with, and is a stable business intelligence platform. Easy to set up solution."

More SAP Analytics Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

More Jedox cons

"Could be more user-friendly; somewhat complicated to use."

"The integration with other vendors and solutions could be improved."

"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."

"All the features are there, maybe except for the one-gauge visualization."

"Currently only one data modeler can work at a time."

"Documentation-wise, we see some gaps when trying to connect different solutions. Some generic documents are available, but the steps maintained are not accurate. There is room for improvement in documentation."

"There is no direct connector from SAP to Redshift, so we are required to use a third-party product that was recommended by SAP."

"The solution should include other scripting languages as well, such as Python."

More SAP Analytics Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

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

"I don't have the exact price for SAP Analytics Cloud, but it could be improved and made cheaper, especially when compared to Power BI."

"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."

"SAP pricing tends to be premium, so it is slightly higher."

"This solution offers value for money and you get what you pay for."

"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."

"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."

"Its licensing is on a monthly basis."

"It is not the most expensive one. You have to do the cost-of-ownership analysis and take a lot of things into consideration to come up with the conclusion that it is cheaper or not, but its price is reasonable. It provides value for money."
