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 Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"In my opinion, it is good for analytics. Everything is in the cloud."
"The solution is quite effective for collaborative planning."
"SAP Business Data Cloud intelligent app takes away a lot of work because it installs the complete model and then the customization can set in."
"I like the product's capabilities. The clarity and scenarios are the main features that allow us to forecast using machine learning algorithms and make decisions."
"I strongly recommend this particular product because whatever I do in multiple tools, in reporting or dashboarding, for example, I carry out a planning process where everything is integrated, so I strongly recommend SAP."
"The product has helped us to unify reporting between all departments and throughout the entire company; it has improved our organization by streamlining operations."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"The integration aspects between SAP and SAP Business Data Cloud are pretty good and seamless, with multiple ways to take the data that all work seamlessly, and taking data out to Azure Data Lake using premium outbound as a service and replication flows in Data Sphere is really seamless."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"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."
"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."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"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."
"Figuring out how to navigate all of the products around Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud and BW for HANA is quite difficult."
"In my experience, I would rate SAP support as two to three out of five."
"The price, integration, and modeling capabilities could be better. I have to use an integration engine to integrate our products and databases. SAP Analytics Cloud is made specifically for KPIs and business intelligence. The modeling capabilities are kind of poor. You always have to model the data and then present it visually in SAP Analytics Cloud. In the next release, I would like to have a lite version for planning to create scenarios quickly. For me personally, planning is the most complicated feature of SAP Analytics Cloud."
"BDC Delta Share had a limitation of not allowing delta only, as the delta only feature on replication flows was not available for standard ERP replication flows. This was a significant limitation that prevented organizations from migrating from BODS to replication flows."
"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."
"All the features are there, maybe except for the one-gauge visualization."
"I do not perceive any return on investment with SAP Business Data Cloud, as its performance in that area is exceptionally poor and shows no signs of improvement."
"I would not say SAP Business Data Cloud is stable at this point because we receive new updates and fixes from SAP every week."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"The product is expensive."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"Compute and storage features should be sold separately."
"The premium option is very expensive at five thousand dollars. I use the nine hundred and ninety-nine dollar option."
"SAP Analytics Cloud is expensive. The price is a big issue if you compare it with other solutions from different vendors."
"The tool's pricing is medium, and licensing costs are yearly."
"It Wasn't directly involved in the pricing discussions, but when I joined the organization, they had already purchased the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. The organization faced challenges due to its perceived expense, leading to restrictions on granting access to many users."
"This solution is pricey."
