Featured Reviews

Riyaz Halani - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jennifer Sinn - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use with robust reporting and great visualizations
I am not sure what improvements could be made. Qlik Sense is very user-friendly. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to create a master app that opens when a user creates a new app that has all the master items, colors, logos, etc., that my organization uses. This would help with keeping master items the same across the apps and would make development a little quicker. This feature would also make it easier for our business users when they want to create an app since they wouldn't need to worry about adding all the needed data sources to it, it they were already there, and they could just press load.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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 main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"We can easily and quickly deploy new dashboards that reach a wide audience and any changes get reflected almost instantaneously for the users."
"We began to see how our processes and other team's processes were negatively affecting the bottom line. We were able to provide tips to other teams to help improve their processes."
"The product responds fast for data analysis."
"The drag and drop functionality provides an easy and fast development approach."
"We have found the use of AI to be the most valuable feature."
"We were able to identify easy things, such as when a contract was loaded incorrectly."
"For a deployment scenario, Qlik Sense is also very easy to use. I can start development from any platform, on-premise or cloud, and continue from where I left off."
"The overall ability to build quick wins with simple data to drive insights."
 

Cons

"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"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."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
"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."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"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."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"The next version should include more standard integrations."
"There is a direction currently with feature releases within QLik Sense which are focused towards the SaaS or Cloud offerings of Qlik Sense. This leaves those who have invested heavily in on-premise enterprise deployments in a difficult position to gain the benefits of some powerful new features they have to look to reinvest further towards these SaaS or Cloud deployments or bring in a hybrid model. Qlik provides no real split between what features are available in each of the deployment options."
"More focus needs to be on data streaming/real-time data reporting."
"There are some tools like Alteryx, which are used for data preparation. These features can be built into Qlik to make the process smoother."
"Qlik Sense requires one to have a lot of technical knowledge."
"Better searching capabilities would be a nice addition."
"I am not really a fan of the set analysis. It's its own language that doesn't quite make a whole lot of sense to me at this point. I wish it were more intuitive."
"There is room for improvement in the storytelling mode and the report sharing. Qlik Sense also does not have a subscription base like Power BI. So a lot of the analysis is housed in community pages that are managed by either the author or a database administrator, or whoever the Qlik Sense manager is there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"I believe pricing is similar to other products in the same category, if you have it on-premise."
"Licensing: Review the named model and move towards a usage model (e.g., cores, memory, computers, API calls, etc.)."
"Start small with tokens. You can always buy more."
"For personal use, the desktop version of Qlik Sense is absolutely free, and you can share visualizations with others and to a personal cloud space, though limited with storage space."
"Costs are a little high on the license/token side. However, if you look at the TCO, it is not too bad, particularly against Power BI."
"Currently, our ROI is clear and concise decision-making. This timely addition will easily add $15 million to our bottom line in 2017."
"Licensing can start to get expensive, but compared to other tools in this space it is about average."
"Ultimately, the cost is low, and it implements fast. The limiting factor is how quickly your staff can keep up."
