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.

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."

More Jedox pros

"It's easy to start using to deliver off-the-shelf visualizations, it makes it easy to share dashboards with a team, and it's a comprehensive solution that can scale from desktop (analyst, developer) to server (large end-user audience) with small or no changes."

"ROI for Tableau when compared to other BI tools we have is excellent."

"Its dashboarding is the most valuable."

"Ability to visualize and easy to use for Business Analysts as this would enable different teams and remove their dependency on the IT team."

"Tableau is (I believe) the best tool for data visualization."

"I work for clients. That is my business model. Business people really like to see Tableau. They love Tableau because it is very user-friendly. The platform provides an easy to use interface, which is what most people like about it."

"Tableau was able to handle the challenges that we've had, in terms of reporting and analytics, and it's flexible enough so that you can bring in other data and be able to quickly marry that data with what you have, report on it, and be able to tell the story that the business wants fairly quickly."

"Data source integration – can integrate with almost every type of databases/data sources like text files (csv, txt), SQL, SSAS, Oracle, etc."

More Tableau Enterprise pros

Cons

"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."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"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 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."

"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."

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

"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."

More Jedox cons

"There is no way to schedule these reports for business users who would like to measure users activity."

"There have been quite a few instances when Tableau crashed after substantial dashboard development and I had to start over from the scratch because the work was not saved."

"When you create new fields in Tableau and you enter the formulas, there is a new small window that is there in the interface. You can enter the calculated fields, it could be more user-friendly. At this time it is limited and hard to understand at the beginning. The fields should be easier to use, such as in Microsoft Excel. You can have a difficult time understanding what to do in the fields, you end up doing trial and error to figure it out."

"Tableau is difficult to scale because of the cost, which makes it difficult to scale."

"It needs to allow for more complexity in data joins and creation."

"SAP BusinessObjects has some semantic layer designs that give the flexibility to do ad hoc reporting or dashboard designing. If that can be brought into Tableau, it would be great. We have the data in the database, but we should also be able to bring something between the database and the dashboard and do some semantic layer modeling for ad hoc reporting requirements."

"The data processing in Tableau is pathetic compared to Qlik."

"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."

More Tableau Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Excellent value for money."

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

"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."

"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."

"Tableau is free."

"For data extraction and analysis, Tableau is better than any other tool I have used with the same pricing model."

"The price could be higher for the quality of software, so they revised the pricing in this version, and I agree with the price for top version. The top version costs about $70 per month, and the price is cheap for the quality."

"One of the biggest drawbacks of Tableau is the price, it is expensive. The price should be reduced."

"Tableau is not as cost-effective as Microsoft BI."

"Tableau is a little cheaper as compared to Power BI and other technologies that we have used in the past. However, if the business users in our organization want to make presentations, Tableau has been asking us to purchase a Tableau Creator license, and $35 per month is expensive for business users. Power BI is giving a free desktop version for business users to connect to any data source and build their own dashboards. That's why we have proposed to use Power BI for most of the business users in our organization."

"Tableau is an expensive solution, though it comes with its advantages."

"The cost is high."
