Jedox Reviews

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.

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.

Flexitibility and excel based. Easy to use!

It will slow down my Microsoft Excel and jedox is built on it.

The product is easy to use and the connectors to a variety of data sources incredibly useful. Our users can easily and independently create their own reports and conduct analysis. When we’ve needed support from Jedox we’ve always found them to be responsive and very helpful.

No significant cons, we’re largely very happy with the product. To pick a con we have found recently that a feature we were reliant on had been deprecated in the latest release & the documentation on the knowledge base has been lacking in detail how we can transition / rebuild our process.

The flexibility and time saving - it takes just a minute to run a query and then you're able to amend all the parameters if you changed your mind or missed something. Another positive about Jedox in Excel is that you don't have to change any formatting of the data - it's already in nice & elegant standard (colours, fonts), ready to be shared with audience.

The limitations related with excel - the system can't operate on large amounts of data.

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.

UI is somewhat outdated and some features of the similar-looking excel aren't implemented (dashed lines, variable bar sizes, multi-axles).

Flexibility: it can be developed based on individual requirements.
We can use both the web-based version and the Excel add-in version, which gives the opportunity to create our own reports, too.

Performance was the main problem. It was caused by the complexity of the software after being developed based on individual requirements.

Easy to use, does not require a huge amount of training, integrated in MS Excel

Would like to be able to do data extracts in list format i.e. select the fields and filters and then download a flat file of data, rather than having to rely purely on Paste View and Paste Elements functions

This software can be customized for different tasks.

The software has a lot of intuitive exceptions.

I like paste view the most. It makes easy access to all of the data that the power users need.

Creating nice dashboards is hard. I know it is not a 100% BI system, but compared to other reporting services, it's hard to create visualizations from the data.

Jedox is well laid out and easy to use. There are lots of built-in connectors making integration with other systems within the organization quick and seamless. And the ability to customize reporting/processes to match our business is extremely valuable.

Nothing really. It performs as advertised.

Ease of dynamic reporting, easy to create and replicate reports

Integration with our IT Business platform is always challenging, there have been some problems maintaining connection but have been pleased with the speed of jedox while working from home

Reports can be easily customised from excel add-ins.

Upon creation of master list for budget set up, user will still have to edit the reference master in excel. User has to update at 2 places for a creation.

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.

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.

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.

flexibility, customizability, integration with JDE

Difficulty setting up authorization management

Easy to use, helps lot of forecasting to new product, fast to make budjeting

have tuo # to make numbers (year,montly, week, day)

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.

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

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 ! ;)

great functions, creative solutions, lot of parameters

I have only one serious problem with Jedox, the speed...

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

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

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

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