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 data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"We have found there is excellent stability with Oracle Hyperion."
"Stable and scalable solution with a valuable data integration feature which allows the slicing and dicing of data. It also has a workforce planning feature that allows you to bring in your HR data."
"It's very easy to use and the functionality is quite complete."
"The implementation has been simplified now that it's deployed in the cloud. Also, Hyperion is tightly integrated with Oracle products because Oracle owns it now."
"The feature that allows automation of the budgeting and forecasting process is extremely valuable, especially when compared to Excel."
"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."
"Scalability is one of this solution's big plus points."
"Oracle Hyperion is fairly user-friendly and not too complicated. The forecasting, it's really good. It's sometimes slow when there are a lot of users using it and we can have up to approximately 300 users using it. However, you can do it in Excel because there's an Excel add-in. This is a benefit because a lot of people do this way instead of having to go into the planning application itself."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Their documentation could be a little bit more descriptive at places. They don't really do a lot of How-Tos because that gets pushed through to the consulting groups. There have been some books. There is a real good one out there about how to look smarter than you are with Hyperion Planning that some people at a company called ArganoInterRel wrote. Those things do exist, but that's not in their documentation. It's basically like they'll say, "This is the field. This is what it's used for," but they don't tell you how to particularly use it in your case environment."
"The user interface is in need of improvement. The forms should be more user-friendly."
"The solution's reporting and dashboards need improvement."
"Configuration is a little complex, it's not very easy. The solution is integrated with Essbase and there are not many users of the Essbase database. If they can provide different modules for each subject area, like supply chain, for inventory forecasting or for order management forecasting, it would make each subject area easier to manage."
"I have not seen return on investment from using Oracle Hyperion."
"The reporting feature in Oracle Hyperion isn't the best. It needs improvement."
"We are still having some issues with the ASO Cube. It can take a long time to clear the data in the ASO Cube compared to BSO data-clearing operations. We don't have a specific calculation in the ASO, and we only have these aggregate options on the ASO side. If we need calculations, we have to calculate them in the BSO and pass the data to the ASO Cube for the reporting. That's one of the drawbacks. Oracle could also improve on the data logging side as well."
"Oracle EPM Cloud solutions have simplified the security model. Nevertheless, it would be better having a more differentiated security model."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Excellent value for money."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"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."
"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"The solution is affordable."
"Compared with MSBA, it is quite reasonable."
"Oracle Hyperion's licensing structures are quite expensive for some companies, especially medium-sized companies because of the user-based license."
"Oracle Hyperion is not an inexpensive solution."
"It might be considered relatively costly compared to some alternatives."
"To get a full license, which gives you access to most of the different Hyperion programs, it costs $2000 to $2500 a month."
"We pay for licensing yearly."
"As Oracle's pricing is on the higher end, most businesses prefer to have their own private cloud."
