Find out in this report how the two Business Performance Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is useful for self-analysis regarding company data and helps to find areas where we can improve."
"By using Board we can do a lot of free analysis. We can change the layout of a table and even the end-user can change the layout of a table. And in Board 11.2 you can save the layout. That's very useful for the customer, it's a very good function."
"Now, we have only one version of the truth."
"The flexibility and the user-experience are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Our data is now more structured. Between our data warehouse and BOARD, which are both brand new, we now have a more structured data view with more accurate, timely data."
"Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance."
"The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control."
"A lot of flexibility from the data modeling standpoint. It can add specific line items into our budget, for example, or if we want to make changes to the data model itself, we have that flexibility."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The ETL itself was pretty useful and it's integrated in the tenant itself. So the Olap service technology was impressive to me. In order to extract that and load it in the tube in the same tenant or the same tool that was something magnificent because I actually missed this in SEB. SEB requires another tool, and you have to integrate all the tools together. But for Jedox, it was in the one tool."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The solution is quick with analysis and calculation. The tool offers high digitalization which helps us to run the controlling department with less number of people. If the software wasn't there, I would need two to three people extra to run the department."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"I would like to see better relationships with the partners."
"We have had some challenges with newer version of the rollout in terms of stability."
"It would be nice to be able to host your site and actually have BOARD be the driver of your site. So you could have anybody in your organization go to www.myorg.com, for example, and then go through what you allow them to go through. So rather than having to go through the application, to be able to go to actually host it to a website."
"It's very powerful, but there is also a big learning curve. It should be a little more intuitive."
"I'd like to see a more passive report user for enterprise report writers that aren't particularly technical."
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement."
"The initial setup was very complex for us."
"I would like to see a better Web client, where the controls work the same way as in the Windows client. I do think that the focus is now on the Web, so it should be improved upon."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"More emphasis is needed on the availability of the learning aspect of the solution. Because unless you take up their course that enables you to be an expert in creating the report, you must seek help."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"The tool has changed its pricing and it's now too expensive for small and medium organizations. I miss the open-source version which was free and we could do a lot of things with it."
"I don't find it particularly user-friendly."
