I've been implementing Jedox for budgeting forecasting and reporting

It is very easy to get up and running and for an Excel user very intuitive. Being able to have centralized data helps keep sundry reports all in sync.

Pros

I like the power and flexibility of the integration tool. It has a very robust ETL component that enables connections to a myriad of sources and a very robust set of transformation tools. I also very much like the web development interface as it is very excel-like and easy to create very flexible reports.

Cons

When doing data transformations in the integration the fact that it is case sensitive I feel is a bit of an unnecessary nuisance.

Fast and intuitive

In the field of real estate and asset management, we implement a wide range of requirements with the help of Jedox. The project orientation of Jedox is very helpful in the standardization of solutions. The design interface makes it possible for users to implement their own ideas at minimum of costs.

Pros

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

Cons

The biggest weakness of Jedox is its documentation. Sadly, the roots of Jedox have been forgotten and the original documentation has been replaced with a clumsy knowledgebase. In the intoxication of growth is the fact that knowledge acquisition and exchange are essential unfortunately fallen by the wayside.

Mr

Pros

The tool is highly intuitive, lessening the time it takes to adjust from any other OLAP system. Hands down, the most impressive feature in Jedox is its ability to create and manage dimension hierarchies and elements. Having used most of the competitors products and an avid fan of Oracle's Essbase, I can say with confidence that no other product out there that does this better.

Cons

Subsets and Variables are very not as easy to use and one false step can lead to bringing the cube down. Another pain point is zero suppression when used in Dynaranges. It should be much easier.

Jedox | Adaptive Tool for almost all operational challengens

We use Jedox mainly for corporate planning (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, operating figures, HR) and reporting. Sometimes it is also used for performance measurement (project management) as well as for mathematical optimization problems.

Pros

It is ingenious how much is already included in the standard license (from integration interfaces to mobile reporting access). The flexibility of working with models as templates or with your own design from scratch is also convincing. With us, it adapts ideally to the requirements of everyday data collection and reporting.

Cons

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

Jedox within Public Utility Companies

We are, as a first step, in the process of connecting and modelling several Controlling and Reporting processes spread out over all of the subsidiaries within our group and plan to extend the use of Jedox for Planning and some Accounting processes as well.

Pros

It's an relatively easy to use, well developed, taken care for and supported product which has some (at least in this combination) unique features and combines several functions useful for Accounting, Controlling, Planning, Reporting and Management if integrated properly.

Cons

No huge cons here aside from the occasional bug (within the presentation layer) and sometimes slow speeds when aggregating and working with huge amounts of data.

Great backend, whatever source you have, plans are easy to come by

It doesn't matter what data you have, from HR to finance, from serious to ballgame statistics, even not-out-of-the-box-solutions are fun to construct. And it's the fun that keeps me invested.

Pros

Ease of use and handling of elements. ETL and Cubes are built quickly and usual reportings are easy to build. However, almost always there are several ways to accomplish a given objective. The tool supports flexible and agile approachs.

Cons

UI is somewhat outdated and some features of the similar-looking excel aren't implemented (dashed lines, variable bar sizes, multi-axles).

Versatile use

Standard-reporting to teams and divisions are done more quickly and easily. We don't need much of consulting to implement another feature. Mostly we use consultants for enabling us to solve our needs ourself

Pros

Easy to bring standard reports to web and mobile Use of standard excel functions in combination with kedox olap functions Wide range of integratable systems/databases etc Quick roi

Cons

Mobile app could be improved a lot. Web-Reports could be responsive

The integrator part alone is worth reviewing this software

Pros

It is very versatile and easy to setup and maintain. The Integrator tool is so powerful that you can use it for almost every purpose besides reporting and planning. It helps to implement almost every datasource in you system environment.

Cons

I have found no cons on this software at all.

Digitalization of Controlling

Pros

Easy to use, Excel connection, flexibility

Cons

performance creating web reporting could be better, time performance

Easy to implement and maintain

Pros

Easy to implement projects. Very much can be done by oneself - that is without consultants. Starting from installing software, over configuration, setup BI projects, etc.

Cons

Not really an issue, but documentation is behind all the new features which come in quite high frequency.

jedox for financial reports

We use Jedox mainly for our financial software and property management software to create reports in the web interface. So the users are able to get reports without using the complex software. Also we use Jedox to enter not such complex values into the database of the software.

Pros

- the easy way to powerful intergrator to import data from an existing database - web-Interface easy to build (Excel-like) - hierarchies and drilldown

Cons

- not usefull for long text - charts not so complex like in Excel - no debug-modus

Jedox supports the entire budgeting process enabling continuous improvements.

Pros

Jedox is a highly flexible suite of technologies that supports rapid solution development and continuous improvements to our business processes. We use Jedox as the core technology for the integration of all business systems and the platform to support better reporting and decision making. The products continuous feature and performance improvements reinforce our original decision to go with Jedox.

Opinion of Hairdresser Klinck

Pros

We especially liked the software that all evaluations for the field service can be called up without a lot of loading time. Furthermore, the Forcast creations are very time-saving

Cons

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

Jedox Review

It does what it should do. But "normal" controllers are not able to design own dashboards. They need a lot of training before.

Pros

Excel like development of web dashboards. The integrator is very powerful and easy to user if you understand how it should be used

Cons

Development of bigger web dashboards needs more then just excel knowledge to be fast. Bigger web Dashboards are Slow compared to classic web pages.

Familiar working in Web Reports and Excel Sheets

Pros

Non IT guys/Controller are able to design their reports by themselves. Jedox provides an integrated solution with etl, database and reporting part which brings a wide variety of predefined functions.

Cons

Entering values is not as straight forward as expected (excel like). You have to use # in consolidated elements and the provided wizard is not always functioning.

Great tool for financial and sales reporting and analysis.

Pros

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

Cons

Security can be complex and is not always intuitive, occasional slow speeds or crashes when working with very large amounts of data.

Great BI tool for planning, reporting and analysis with excel components

Because of its closeness to excel and easy handling we were able to implement reports as well as planning masks for different departments in a short time. Due to the well realized coaching from Jedox Consultants knowledge was transferred to several key users in just a few days and we were able to configure other parts on ourself.

Pros

For excel users it is easy to use because of it´s closeness to 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

Sometimes drag and drop would be nice to use.

Very Good Software with a lot of potential

Especially the replacement of an extensive and complex Excel leads to enthusiasm again and again. Both for the developer, the customer and at the end for the user. This has always been fun to look at

Pros

the software is absolutely customer oriented. Due to the clear cycles it is known when it is the next upgrade. After an upgrade all old functions always worked and the new ones were mostly well documented for the partners. The knowledge base is also always up to date.

Cons

Access to old updates is virtually non-existent. Also HotFix administration does not exist. The support helps there also only very limited.

Jedox

Pros

- easy to learn - like Excel - very powerful ETL - Jobs - very good user rights system

Cons

- often System crashes - web reports especially with data entries have bugs - web data entry doesent allow any formula

very user friendly and effective software

accuracy, efficiency, flexibility

Pros

the visual aspect is very appealing, and real-time data is a real savior ! Very easy to develop reports with this tool. With a little imagination the sky is the limit ! ;)

If you use it you will love it

- automated daily reports - short and easy planning phase

Pros

- Easy to edit - Web-based - Motivated manufacturer

Cons

- There is no surface to make backups - Complex reports are getting slower

Great software with potential for bigger

Pros

Performance of development, drill through, capability and scale for developers

Cons

Nowadays Jedox isn’t open source anymore, and some bugs are fixed in a bigger time range

JEDOS is best

Easy to handle, integrates all our data sources

Pros

using MS-Excel at the front end, easy to handle

Cons

some reports which are not designed well by us need a little bit time to present

Experiences with Jedox

We are using Jedox mainly for reporting currently, we would like to use Jedox as a repository for our data to produce reports that are consistent across the organisation. We are also going to use Jedox to create our Budget Model. I have only used Jedox for a couple of months and have had good experiences with it and can see the potential for the future.

Pros

Jedox is flexible, it allows you to extract data from any source systems and build the cubes that is relevant for any reporting requirements. Jedox Web Report is easy to use and it has a similar look and feel of Excel which means users who are used to using Excel is comfortable with using it. The support provided by the vendor is very good.

Cons

It is also the flexibility that Jedox offers. This means you need to have the right person in the organisation in order to set up the system correctly and use Jedox to its full potential.

Jedox the future of planning

I implemented Jedox at a lot of customers. Mainly for planning but also for reporting purpose. They all like Jedox, because we make their work life easier for them.

Pros

- Very Excel like - Easy to use - Clever ETL integrator - Connections to a lot of different data sources - Highly customizable

Cons

- Sometimes error messages appear and you don't know why

Jedox is:

Pros

Easy to learn, Easy to use, good Software, for Little money

Cons

Speed in Webmode by making new sites, two or more views in one site not possible

Controlling made easy

integrated financial planning (balance sheet, p&l, cash flow)

Pros

Easy to use excel intgrated controlling software

Cons

no support of preformatted report templates

the long missing solution

The strong integration with qlik help us, to use jedox as planning tool. So we use jedox not only as planning tool, also as survey tool and approval tool with worklflow. it's easy to extract the data to write them back in the source system.

Pros

With Jedox, we find a very flexible and fast tool which supports our fast solution development. We use Jedox as the core technology for the integration with qlik.

Cons

its not so easy, to find somthing, that could be improved. A macro debugger can a helpfull feature - maybe in one of next releases.

Software, which is easy to use also for endconsumers

Pros

Ease of use, fast support if needed, direct contact to Jedox possible

Cons

New releases are often not tested enough > sometimes a lot of bugs

JEDOX 2018.4

Budgeting and forecasting on multidemsional datasets

Pros

Easy to install, Webinterface, ETL-Process

Cons

Security is complex to setup Setup ssl-certificates

jedox web

Pros

You can do ETL, OLAP und Web in one platform

Cons

The Web component of Jedox should be better. Specially better scrolling in using widgets.

Best for your money

Daily reporting and analysing

Pros

Easy to use back and front end Excel integration

Cons

Lack of reporting functions Only subscription

Great Software!

Pros

absolutely flexible and independent report expansion

Cons

Performance in the web interface could be improved

Fantastic BI Tool

Pros

The way they have laid out the processes for extracting and mapping data means with a little training you can leverage a lot of its power. Having never used Jedox before, and never having used any OLAP software previously, we hired a jedox consultant to come out and build our reporting cube, however, they did such an amazing job with explaining how everything worked, that with their help I was able to build most of what we needed myself.

Cons

Documentation for some functions is lacking, it has a short explanation of what a function does, but not how it does it, or what you need to do to make it work. Report building tool is powerful in it's similarities to excel but has some limitations and performance issues under some circumstances.

Good first impression

Right now we just started with the implementation phase. So far we're very satisfied with the software as well as with the consultants.

Pros

The flexibility as well as the usability

Cons

As we've just started with the implementation of the software we have not yet experienced any negativity related to Jedox.

Jedox is an excellent product in the multi-dimensional database category.

Great data-analytics product

Pros

Jedox is similar in many ways to IBM Cognos TM1, but retains the original features of Applix TM1 in a modernized form. The database is also very good for non-financial data. It is a true multi-dimensional database with both Excel-based user-interfaces and web-based user-interfaces.

Cons

Honestly, I have not found many cons so far, but I have not loaded any really large (i.e. multi-million record) databases yet. So there may be some pitfalls there. My current project has very complex data, but nothing larger than 100,000 records so far. So I cannot vouch for large databases yet.

Excel-like BI suite with strong planning focus

Review from consulting point of view with broad and independent BI tooling background.

Pros

All-in-one product. Own SAP Integration, including BW and HANA. Excel like design perspective. Ease to use for building - even complex - planning scenarios.

Cons

No concurrent license model anymore. Weak predefining of screen templates, should be more construction kit like.

Jedox CPM Platform

Jedox is used for Sales Controlling. Implementation was rather quick, no bigger problems.

Pros

- complete suite that includes everything (ETL-Tool, OLAP Engine, Reporting Component, Scheduler etc.) - ease of use and easy to learn - very flexible and very customisable - can be used with/within Excel - fast calculations - powerful web reporting including dashboards (many chart types) - strong SDK

Cons

- workflow is not a preinstalled component, but needs to be configured / build semi-automatically

A value add system

Currently we have a lot of manual processes which involve running reports, exporting the output to excel and applying logic. Implementing Jedox has meant we can easily open and run a report each month which gives the same result. This allows staff to do more analysis of the numbers (value add work) rather than just running the numbers.

Pros

Jedox is an incredibly easy tool to use. The excel add in enables the user to work within excel which makes the experience feel familiar. This system can also be maintained mostly within Finance so gets rid of the need to rely on the IT team.

Cons

We work with a lot of data so sometimes found it a bit restrictive on how many dimensions we could have in a cube.

Jedox from consulting point of view

Pros

+ Excel like design perspective / functionality + Integration toolkit + Marketplace with models + reports + All-in-one Product + Toolkit Concept -> Varity of Implementations for: Reporting, Planning + Workflow

Cons

- No concurrent licence model anymore - No predefined templates for report designer

Collect and Consolidate

We successfully implemented resource planning (top down and bottom up) with jedox.

Pros

Easy to set up process that collect data from different people and to have them consolidated in a central place. Excel know how is sufficient for reporting

Cons

No support for docker setup. Setup as different services is not supported

Brings perfectly together the world of Excel spreadsheets, OPAP databases and a web based BI Suite

Great for cube based planning using the excel-like spreadsheet you're familiar with locally or even shared.

Pros

When you love using pivotal tables in Excel, but you reach the limited capacity of Excel, you can easily move your data into the MOLAP database and still keep on working with Excel.

Cons

The jedox app marketplace does not yet offer to filter by the price model (e.g. Free or Premium).

Evaluation of the Jedox system

recurrent reports in all commercial and production areas daily evaluations

Pros

Easy handling Many solutions Excel proximity

Cons

Bugs currently still available performance Speed of the software

OMG I love this budgeting tool!

Pros

Here's the thing, I've tried a lot of budgeting tools, but this is my favorite by far. I love the fact that you can do so much things with it!

Jedox Review

Pros

This software is really useful in tracking the responsibilities given to the subordinates

Cons

Pricing is high they will have to look for it

High flexibility helps to meet exactly the special requirements

Pros

On top of the predefined models I liked that the tool itself allows to configure, develop or change every detail to adapt it to fit exactly the desired process. The available functionality is very easy to learn and yet very powerful in what can be achieved.

Cons

Without knowing it you can create a vast amount of data when Splashing on a "0" on a high level.

Fast and great BI-Tool with SAP-Connector

Smooth interface to SAP. Jedox Ready to Run Moduls by Jedox Partner iXLOG

Pros

Many customization options and interfaces to other systems. Various possibilities of evaluation and visualization. Very fast.

Cons

Sorry, but nothing to improve. Great software.

Great product with extreme flexibility

Pros

Its flexibility and the fact we - once properly trained - we can configure te product completely ourselves and can tailor it exactly to our needs

Cons

Minor inconsistencies in the user interface and sometimes the user interface behaves a little weird. However, overall this is minor.

Powerful software, not so easy to use

Mostly planning solutions.

Pros

Anything is possible. The software allows you to build any customized solution.

Cons

There are a lot of ways to build a solution, often deep knowledge is necessary. It's hard to estimate the time you need to build features because things can be very tricky.

Easy to setup and use planning solution

Pros

Easy to use, very flexible planning solution. Onboarding of new users is very easy due to easy functionality and UI.

Cons

Scaling to big corperate environment may be better. Better Performance needed. Some Customizing option feel like a workaround.
