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 solution is very versatile."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"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."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"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."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The product has a direct plugin to Microsoft Excel."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration in Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud."
"Once you do the budget in Oracle ERP, you can upload it, but it's easier to create and manage budgets in the Oracle budgeting tool itself. For example, if you have a shortfall in the budget, it's easier to manage that and the forms, too, especially if you also have Oracle Forms Management. You can get the forms from somewhere and then transform those forms into budget heads."
"Beneficial analysis and easy to do management adjustments."
"I value Oracle's flexibility and customization levels."
"We previously used Oracle EDS, and when comparing it to this solution, this solution has a much better interface. There are lots of advantages of the new solutions. Having it on the cloud, we are able to forget about keeping them updated or taking care of the database. We have minimal maintenance."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"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."
"OCI can predict changes in your infrastructure in advance so that customers aren't caught off guard. It would be nice if OCI could predict these changes and notify Administrators without the Administrators asking OCI to do it."
"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 Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve by having better integration with some other modules that we would add to this solution."
"Oracle made a mistake by forcing HFM users to transition to FCCS before the solution was mature enough."
"Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud could improve. There are times when the forms are slow in saving and calculating."
"One potential improvement would be a more visual workflow, as the current method using a tax list is not as effective."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"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."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription for this solution and it is priced high."
"The solution is free."
"It is expensive."
