The fact that it's plugged into Excel spreadsheets is also valuable. It provides additional functionality where you can slice and dice the information in a way that you can't do with spreadsheets"
"The tool is flexible."
"The flexibility of IBM Planning Analytics is a great feature of this solution. The design flexibility with data rules and defining calculations The ability to combine online and offline calculations are a benefit. Additionally, the forecasting features and predictive analytics is very good."
"The product's stability is good."
"Planning Analytics' best features include automatic updates and slicing."
"Navigating through the data to make analysis is really quick."
"The most valuable features of IBM Planning Analytics for streamlining planning processes include a unified database where all data are centralized."
"A lot of the platform is in-memory, so Planning Analytics can run calculations quite fast. It also offers several user interfaces. And in the newest version of Planning Analytics, there is a new one called the Planning Analytics Workspace. Maybe it could be useful for the business side."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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 ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"It is a bit expensive, but it does the job."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"It would have been better if the solution was not just a tool kit."
"It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel."
"The dashboard is very poor and needs a lot of improvement."
"Planning Analytics could be improved by adding automation features."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"Adding predefined templates could be beneficial."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its support. The visualization in Microsoft BI is more modern and comfortable than Jedox's. I would expect something similar with the solution."
"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."
"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 think it's the design of the report because the design and the UI for the report is standard and lame. When you see a Jedox report, it doesn't seem like it's from today, because the technology is something from the last decade. The scalability needs improvement."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
