The solution provides dynamic reports while being easy to use
There is not much training for Jedox. There was no training available in the beginning at all. I had to reach out to them so they would give us something. I think they're getting better, though. The other issue is the dependence on the partner network. We used to deal directly with Jedox, but now it is all through partners, and Jedox's representatives are not in the picture anymore. It's not that partners are not doing a good job, but you're not dealing with the company directly since it's a partner most of the time. If you build your know-how within the company, it's good. Otherwise, the dependence on partners could end up being more costly. Suppose you do your development or don't need to develop constantly by starting with a sprint, deciding what you want to do, and setting up the cubes, databases, and everything correctly. In that case, you only need to develop different reports using the same data. However, it could be costly if you constantly need to develop reports or different cubes and store different systems without the in-house know-how.

Brings reporting, planning, and prediction together in one seamless workflow
I think the areas of SAP Analytics Cloud that could be improved or enhanced are mentioned by users or companies, and they would definitely mention the price in terms of planning licensing. From a consulting point of view, I don't see any major weaknesses. It is reasonably well-developed, and the perfect strength is that innovations are coming on a quarterly basis. It is slightly behind other tools in terms of the number of graphical outputs. Some tools have it faster, but every increment of innovations contains new features. On the other hand, it is perfectly fitting to the SAP environment, with seamless integration to all SAP modules, not only ERP but also SuccessFactors and other tools from the SAP family, for example, integrated business planning for the production planning. This is really a highlight compared to other tools.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The data entry point is most valuable, and the way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"With Jedox, those kinds of pain points have been removed, and now if I create my dashboard once, people just need to add the data or pull the data, or the data just comes in on a scheduled basis from various systems, and my dashboards are ready."
"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."
"I like the predictive features of SAP. It's easy to use tools for an end-user."
"The features that I have found most valuable with SAP ERP products are their good user interface, stability, functionality, and good interface options."
"The stability is quite good; it doesn't crash or freeze, there are no bugs or glitches, and it's reliable."
"We have definitely seen a return on investment, as we save money and time by consolidating software licenses into one subscription, which is far easier to manage."
"Seamless planning is equal to live data, and when using live data it is very helpful because I get the data up to date, I do not have to manually refresh it, I can perform all sorts of calculations on my presentation or calculation layer, and present it to the client with live data being fetched into the system, which helped greatly for BI capabilities and allowed me to create multiple reports and dashboards to understand the sales-related dynamics of the current business in real time."
"I like the connectivity the solution provides with other products."
"We use it for all our reporting right now, everything is happening in SAP, and all dashboards are there, and all data comes through in real-time."
"The planning functionality is good."
 

Cons

"There is not much training for Jedox."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. There should be some dropdown facilities in it like Excel."
"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."
"SAP Analytics Cloud should improve the dashboard."
"Performance is a limitation that SAP Business Data Cloud has right now, and until I know more about SAP with the Iceberg adoption, I will say more, but now performance is a limitation using the Delta capability."
"I would like to see improved support for third-party systems, lower cost of acquisition, and better graphics and interface design."
"SAP Business Data Cloud is a new tool, and we need much more time to use its full capability and understand the advantages and disadvantages."
"It's actually a bit difficult at the moment to explain to the clients all the benefits of SAP Business Data Cloud."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"On the pricing point, I would say it is quite high compared to other solutions that are available in the market."
"Pricing is fine for the BI license, but when it comes to client license, that fee is a bit high."
 

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."
"Excellent value for money."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"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."
"This solution is pricey."
"SAP Analytics can be very costly to license, which can make it difficult for organizations to implement."
"The product is expensive."
"It's not that costly as such for the time being."
"SAP Analytics Cloud can be quite expensive."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"It's quite expensive and costs a lot to maintain, especially with licensing."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
