Jedox vs UNIT4 prevero comparison

"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."

"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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."

"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."

"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 EPM is the most valuable feature."

"Its workflow is straightforward and simple to understand."

"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."

"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."

"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 room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"There is not much training for Jedox."

"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."

"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."

"There is a little bit of reliance upon understanding the syntax of the actions that you want to take. Some of the other competitors have moved forward with that in terms of being able to make it more drag and drop and more logical, but there is still some way to go for UNIT4 in doing that, but they're getting there. With all these things, automation helps. The more they can do to simplify some of the complexities from the financial reporting, evaluation, and analysis sides, the better it would be. I'd like to see more automation and more simplicity from an end-user point of view."

"Excellent value for money."

"The product’s pricing will not be suitable for setting up a small solution."

"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."

"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."

"It's perhaps on the slightly richer side of pricing for the markets that we focus on because we tend to focus on the SME or the small to medium enterprise market, whereas a lot of UNIT4 ERP customers are in local government, universities, etc. Some years ago, they were launching an initiative to be keenly priced for that SME market, but today, the foot has come off the accelerator a bit. It isn't the cheapest, but it is also not the most expensive one."
