Pros

Integrating with current systems was quite easy. It saves me a lot of time compared to budgeting in Excel, which I used to do previously (automated input of actuals, automated links between different sub-reports...).

Cons

Data input is somewhat challenging compared to Excel, which we primarily use. This limitation requires us to seek external help for certain tasks.

Pros

I really appreciate how Jedox connects to our accounting system iScala. This allows me to see budget data and actuals simultaneously. Moreover, I like using the "XLSX Snapshot" in all sheets. Finally, this tool helps me connect data from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as we report them together.

Cons

As a Financial Controller, I find this system beneficial, despite encountering some initial issues with formulas that were later corrected. However, my colleagues who handle budget creation didn't find it as satisfying. They faced challenges with pasting data from Excel using "Ctrl + V" and understanding how "#" functions, leading to accidental data overwrites. Proper training for your team would be advisable.

Pros

Jedox requires little to no training, and I was able to use it in no time when we implemented it. This is partly due to the fact that they have built out the methods for extracting and mapping data in a way that is intuitive for everyone. We hired a Jedox consultant to come out and design our reporting cube because we had never used Jedox or any OLAP software before. However, I later realized that a consultant was never needed in our case. Anyway, they did such an outstanding job explaining how everything worked that I was able to build much of what we required myself with their help.

Cons

Some functions documentation is insufficient; it provides a brief explanation of what the function does but not how it accomplishes it or what you must do to make it work. The report-building tool is powerful in its resemblance to Excel, but it has significant limits and performance concerns under certain conditions.
