Financial Controller at Zalando SE
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.

Empower financial planning with user-friendly and robust features
The best features of Oracle Hyperion revolve around their cloud-based technology, which is gradually moving to cloud solutions such as EPMCSG, while Anaplan uses two engines for calculations, the classic engine and the Essbase engine. Anaplan allows for quick module changes, where adjustments in one module reflect throughout the user experience. In contrast, Oracle Hyperion relies on Essbase as a database with calculation scripts and business rules, and it incorporates Smart View technology for Excel connections, providing a familiar interface for users. Oracle Hyperion is fundamentally a good technology and does not require significant improvements compared to other technologies because it is user-friendly and offers several advantages in financial reporting and consolidation. However, I have observed that Anaplan has built-in UX pages for report preparation, unlike Oracle Hyperion, which often relies on third-party tools such as Hyperion Financial Reporting and Power BI for reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The customer porting 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 ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"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 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 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 Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."
"This is a customizable product. Our implementation was designed to fit our needs."
"The product itself, right now, especially on the Hyperion planning side, is the industry leading software for what it does."
"The tool does all our budgeting and forecasting without much manual work, so it's now all automated, saving us both time and from many human errors."
"The partitioning option between databases allows for users to enter data one time, versus copying data lots of times from one cube to another."
"Based on the number of products available right now, I definitely think this is one of the good products."
"We're able to support fifteen to twenty countries globally from Cincinnati, and they can do all their consolidation on our one HFM application."
"We can do budgeting on time and provide an accurate forecast."
 

Cons

"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"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 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 user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"I have a problem with Hyperion when I need to log some changes in the budget. It's hard to know who made which changes in the budget."
"Technical support from Oracle is very poor."
"The initial setup of Oracle Hyperion is very difficult."
"I found the initial setup to be complex."
"Oracle Hyperion generally it's quite a complex architecture that is hard to maintain."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement, but from what I know, they're offering a new reporting package."
"The forecasting of values could be simplified in this solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"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."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"The licenses cost approximately $1,000."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"The licensing cost for the on-premises version of the solution is too high."
