Jedox

Avantages

C'est très bon logiciel de comptabilité facile à utiliser

Inconvénients

C'est logiciel permet d'avoir géré facilement dans le monde entier

Avantages

The modelling and reporting capabilities are very good.

Inconvénients

Easy of use. Takes some to learn and get used to it.

Avantages

What I really appreciate about Jedox is that it is connected to our accounting system iScala. This way we can see budget data and actuals at the same moment. Moreover I like the use of "XLSX Snaphot" in all sheets. Finally this tool helped us connect data from Czech Republic and Slovakia as we report them together.

Inconvénients

For me as Financial Controller this system is great (except for some missing/wrong formulas which appeared later after implementation phase - and hopefully were corrected). But I feel that my colleagues responsible for budget creation were not that much satisfied as sometimes it was not possible to insert data from Excel by "Ctrl + V". Or some of them did not understand properly the function of "#" and overwrote existing data by mistake. So I would recommend to train your people properly first.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

- The implementation was very fast. The cube date base is simple to understand and good to handle.
- Reports can be created easily, very similar to excel and without any program skills. There are a few great feateres that help make long and complicated reports to be designed quick and easy.
- By using the jedox workflows we are able to send out our monthly reporting fully automated.
- We highly recommand iXlog as partner for the implementation

Inconvénients

- The drill-through, which can show details in all reports looks not very nice and can not be customized. Jedox support told us they are currently working on that.

Pourquoi choisir Jedox 

Pourquoi passer à Jedox

Avantages

It is a very powerful software, which is easy to use. I love the integration into excel which alows for completely new ad hoc reports within minutes.
Also you can start with a small solution for a specific reporting or planning need and expand it easily, even during runtime.

Inconvénients

integrating workflows into custom reports and applications could be easier.

Pourquoi passer à Jedox

Avantages

Jedox is highly effective because it is connected directly to our accounting system. The minute we close our books, we are able to produce a full reporting package and we are able to identify accounting errors by generating preliminary financials. It also allows us to complete our forecast almost simultaneously with our close.

Inconvénients

Like most reporting software, it is almost essential to have a knowledgeable partner to support you in the implementation.

Pourquoi passer à Jedox

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Flexible, powerful, and heavily customizable with a big marketplace full of pre-built model

Inconvénients

Training website needs improvement and more online focus

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

Excel interface
Plenty of features and flexible

Inconvénients

learning curve can be steep for more advance features

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The ease of use \ simplicity and powerful modelling capability

Inconvénients

It is to find fault, but the loss of Excel Import Wizard in the latest release would be my biggest bug bear

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

I have found no cons on this software at all.

Avantages

To get specific financial data by using different filters and capability to sort them as well. By using add-in, gives opportunity to get financials for specific components. Ability to build different hierarchies, measures, product sets etc. is big advantage.

Inconvénients

The software in some sense is not quite user friendly and it's easy to get confused while using it because many specific details/features which can not be obtained only by self-learning. What is more, the software is quite expensive as well taking into account the fact some errors happens every month.

Avantages

all data in one place accounts forecasting budgeting

Inconvénients

there were some teething issues at first due to the way we required the system to work for us but all is good now

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Automating a manual process of budgeting and allows us to focus on reviewing the numbers than compiling the numbers.

Inconvénients

The look and feel of it. Not much aesthetics. Difficulty in setting up work flow
Not use friendly enough in terms of managing the setup of the software. Heavily reliant on software vendors

Avantages

It can be tailored exactly to our needs. Integration with current systems was quite easy. It saves quite some time as compared to budgeting in Excel, what we used to do previously (automated input of actuals, automated link between different sub-reports...)

Inconvénients

The data input is quite tricky (as compared to Excel), which is what we use it the most for, so thats unfortunate. There are some tasks that we need the help of the external service provider with, and cant do ourselves.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

Extremely high level of flexibility and agility, as well as seamless sync with Excel

Inconvénients

Low speed of performance, plenty of bugs to fix and inability to achieve flawless automation when it comes to complex financial models.
