Powerful BI tool for analyzing financial performance and stable performance
We mainly used Jedox at my company as our BI tool. It is connected to SAP in the backend. At the end of each month, we used Jedox to analyze our financial performance, particularly the income statement (P and L).  Jedox has its own web version, so we can access it using Google Chrome. The great…

Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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 Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The solution is very versatile."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"It has user-friendly data visualization features, supporting our decision-making process with its business intelligence capabilities"
"The language support is very good."
"The most valuable aspect is its extensive library on Microsoft, providing a robust framework for implementation."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The integration with Salesforce has helped us gain access to crucial sales data in real-time."
"The most useful feature of QlikView for me is the QVD concept."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on 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."
"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 solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"I would want them to have more options as a user. It would be nice for them to create their own dashboards and add fields."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"Installation and deployment could be made easier and quicker."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"Scalability really depends on the size of your data and QlikView server architecture. For the biggest data sets, it could become an issue at some point."
"QlikView is probably on the pricier side than other BI tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Excellent value for money."
"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."
"Jedox was a bit cheaper compared to Calumo."
"QlikView is a reasonably priced solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one being low price and ten being high price, I rate pricing a four."
"Its licensing costs are moderate, but it can get expensive due to the numerous add-ons available like those for printing."
"Qlik is fairly high in terms of pricing."
"It is quite expensive, rating at around nine out of ten on a cost scale."
"It's reasonably priced and falls on the more affordable side."
"The setup costs for QlikView are fair as are the yearly maintenance fees. The licensing becomes a bit more expensive and requires some planning for onboarding."
"QlikView is more expensive than one of its competitors."
