Jedox

Fantastic BI Tool

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.

Unique and intuitive

Pros

Ease of use and handling of elements. ETL and Cubes are built quickly and usual reportings are easy to build. There are a variety of options to get anything done. The tool supports flexible and agile approaches.

Cons

UI is somewhat outdated and some features of the Excel-inspired arent implemented.

Gets the job done

Pros

Good, consistent performance. Excel-like development of web dashboards. The integrator is very powerful and easy for the user if you understand how it should be used.

Cons

The development of bigger web dashboards needs more than just excel knowledge to be fast. Bigger web Dashboards are slow compared to classic web page

Great excel-like working

Pros

Jedox is an adaptable platform that is easy to connect to multiple data sources. The excel integration is very easy to use and allows for fast access to a range of data sources.

Cons

Security can be complex and is not always intuitive, Can be very slow occasionally, sometimes the system suddenly crashes when working with very large amounts of data.

Intuitive and efficient

Pros

The interface is intuitive. Projects can be implemented logically and quickly. The OLAP engine is fast and reliable. Full WEB integration enables productive work and effective administration from any location. The designer interface makes it possible to use existing basic knowledge almost everywhere.

Cons

The biggest weakness of Jedox is its documentation. They originally had an amazing and powerful documentation tool but the recent updates have made it very disappointing.

Excellent product

Pros

We love the softwares evaluations for the field service as they can be retrieved instantly without much loading time. The forecast creations save us a lot of time.

Cons

The software demonstration was that the product can be used within 10 days. This is not possible. Unfortunately, there are occasionally loading errors that can only be solved with the help of support.

Good potential

Pros

Its relatively easy to use, well developed, well-maintained and supported product which has a few unique features and combines several functions useful for Accounting, Controlling, Planning, Reporting, and Management if integrated properly.

Cons

There arent many issues with the system aside from a few bugs sometimes and the slow speed when aggregating and working with huge amounts of data.

Great functionality. Super flexible

Pros

It is super easy to use for people who have been excel users because of its resemblance with excel and options for planning, analysis and reporting in excel via add-in as well as in an excel-like web interface with similar functions. The ETL process is figurative and easy to track the different steps.

Cons

Wish they offered a drag&drop feature.

Great accessibility and integrations

Pros

It adapts ideally to the requirements of everyday data collection and reporting. The flexibility of working with models as templates or with your own design from scratch is also convincing.

Cons

The detail settings are not always so user-friendly. In most cases, however, further explanations can be found on the homepage.

Great tool

Pros

Ease of use. Powerful integration to import data from an existing database. web-Interface is very easy to build.

Cons

The solution is not useful for long text. The charts are not as complex as in Excel.
