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.

Head Of Analytics at Mjunction Services

Ease of developing dashboards and receiving strong technical support have enabled efficient data visualization

Introducing custom features, such as NLP-based reports, is not very good in Tableau. My MD has been asking us for a way to write in natural language to request reports that the system should generate, but that isn't very effective with Tableau. As a developer, I can develop an on-demand report in Python quite easily, but exposing a REST API on the Tableau platform is not a very easy task. AI enablement is an area for improvement for Tableau, and that is something they might have to work upon. I have heard that ThoughtSpot is quite better in this regard, but the cost of ThoughtSpot is much higher. ThoughtSpot has lots of natural language-based report generation features that Tableau lacks.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the tool for performance management and planning."

"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."

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"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."

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

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

More Jedox pros

"It is a complete solution allowing a lot of integrations, different graphics, multiple operations and analyzes our date and gives us meaning from it."

"The most valuable features are the visualizations, the way they show the combination charts."

"The solution allows for the possibility for end-users to do their own reporting."

"The ability of filtering and segmentation of the data makes it very flexible compared to other tools."

"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."

"The ability to present data is very effective, providing great impact and good online information."

"The data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."

"The solution is being delivered to our customer, who appreciates the insights generated from the reports. It is easy for them to drill into the details and use interactive charts."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

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."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. 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. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."

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

"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"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."

More Jedox cons

"At the organizational level, increasing the servers' capabilities to support us as an enterprise tool."

"It would be nice if we could export more raw data. Currently, there is a limit as to how much data you can export."

"If they could add global filters in the stories, more chart types, and default colours, it would help."

"To be the best in the market, Tableau has to improve its user interface and also look into developing implementing the best machine learning algorithms."

"They need a write-back; that is what is missing. If they get the write back to the database, they will be fully automated, but for the time being, they are not."

"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."

"Improvements in schema security and row/column security need to be made."

"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."

More Tableau Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"Excellent value for money."

"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 professional version of Tableau is quite expensive."

"I recommend that you discuss your needs with the salesperson and try to negotiate the price."

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"In Korea, the tool's pricing depends on the scale of usage. For instance, it's reasonable for a department with fewer than 50 users to adopt Tableau, like sales. However, the pricing becomes an issue when considering an enterprise solution for a larger user base, say 10,000 people."

"Deployment of dashboards to viewers and unit supervisors can be prohibitively expensive."

"Basically, we prefer a permanent license. A one-time charge is much better."

"Be careful with the Tableau Viewer's licenses, and stay with the right number of users."

"Best advice on pricing is to anticipate the desire for more licenses once the results of this product are acknowledged in other parts of your company."
