That was easy! Jedox tranforms our reporting experience.
Overall Satisfaction with Jedox
Currenty we use Jedox within our finance team to simplify the effort of monthly management reporting and our budgeting cycle. Jedox as a tool has given us the flexibility to update and quickly analyse at a high level our general ledger data on an ad-hoc basis as well as in more structured ways. Jedox was selected when our previous GL reporting tool went end of life. We haven't looked back since.
Pros
- Using the Excel add-in means that our team was almost instantly productive, being able to use a familiar interface to present and manipulate data.
- Allows us to quickly do analysis and comparison of current and historic data.
- Really good to produce meaningful management reporting that can be adapted responsively to business requirements.
- Implementing Jedox in our budget cycle dramatically reduced the time and complexity of the process, while making it more transparent.
Cons
- As a business user, it's hard to "discover" functionality so a bit like Excel we probably miss out on maximising capability.
- The online knowledge base is not as informative as it could be to help explorers learn about functionality/use cases.
- Marketplace is still maturing and it's not quite plug and play for some of the models available. This would be a huge gain.
Power BI in some respects is easier to set up using tabular analysis, which makes creating new models relatively easy in comparison to Jedox, however, the DAX language is more complex to learn than the Groovy script used by Jedox. Jedox's power comes in its ability to write back to models and flexibility in setting up reports. We use both for different applications, but if I was wanting to create a model that needed user input I would pick Jedox.
