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.

Budgeting scenarios and versions helps us migrate data, visualize data, and do variant reporting
The best thing about the tool is the budgeting scenarios and versions. It helps us migrate data, visualize data, and do variant reporting. There are approval processes that allow users to submit data, whether for budgeting or forecasting. When they submit, it goes up in the hierarchy for approval. If the data looks good to the manager, they can approve it. This is a very unique feature that we get. The approval process is a back-and-forth process; it doesn't get finalized in one go. Another feature is the business rules, where we can give users the flexibility to run calculations on demand. We can set runtime prompts for them, so they can run the calculation for whichever year or factors they want. They just need to know the value they want. Everything else can be set up by the admins. These are the flexibilities that we can give the user.

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."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"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 tool improves the organizational budgeting process in several ways. One significant aspect is the extensionable functionality it offers. To illustrate, consider a scenario where a company has factories in Mexico producing Volkswagen and Kentucky producing Ford."
"The customization level is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is ad hoc reporting."
"The workforce, the cube database, is the most valuable feature where you do planning for your headcounts."
"I value Oracle's flexibility and customization levels."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
 

Cons

"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"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 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."
"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."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"There are some issues with block creation in the memory. Sometimes, when we run a calculation and a new intersection is hit during the calculation, the memory block doesn't get created, which doesn't give the correct result."
"Oracle initially forced HFM users to migrate to FCCS, which was difficult because moving applications wasn't easy."
"There is middleware that we need to purchase for our use case that should be provided in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud. We should not have to purchase the additional solution and the integration should be seamless."
"For HR, the workforce planning out of the box is complicated. For most users, it's not easy, and it requires a learning curve. It's not very user-friendly. It can be improved."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
"The FR recording studio that is used to build reports is clunky and awful to use. This could be improved a lot. The solution does have problems and limitations."
"The tool's interface is outdated. However, OneStream is easier to navigate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We paid a one-time fee, which included product purchase, licensing, and first-time implementation. We are paying for the maintenance regularly."
"The solution's pricing is specific to your requirements."
"Excellent value for money."
"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."
"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."
"The price of Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud is expensive. However, it solves a lot of issues at the company. Having a better price could make us think about using more cloud products for Oracle and increase usage."
"It is expensive."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"The solution is free."
