Jedox vs Oracle Essbase comparison

"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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

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

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

"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."

"The EPM is the most valuable feature."

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

"The solution is very versatile."

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."

"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."

"Essbase is a kind of backbone, or back end, for systems like Hyperion Planning."

"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."

"The solution can handle a large volume of data."

"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases."

"Oracle Essbase is a web integration system that integrates with other data systems."

"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."

"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. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."

"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."

"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 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 initial setup could be simplified."

"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."

"Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good."

"The solution could enhance business analytics. I delved into the data using Oracle Essbase to create a new support tool."

"It's an expensive product to use."

"The initial setup is pretty complex."

"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."

"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."

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

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

"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."

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."

"Excellent value for money."

"It is a costly solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"I believe the licensing is on a monthly base."

"Essbase is competitively priced."
