We performed a comparison between Databricks and Jedox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Databricks, Microsoft, Alteryx and others in Data Science Platforms."Databricks covers end-to-end data analytics workflow in one platform, this is the best feature of the solution."
"A very valuable feature is the data processing, and the solution is specifically good at using the Spark ecosystem."
"Databricks is a unified solution that we can use for streaming. It is supporting open source languages, which are cloud-agnostic. When I do database coding if any other tool has a similar language pack to Excel or SQL, I can use the same knowledge, limiting the need to learn new things. It supports a lot of Python libraries where I can use some very easily."
"Databricks is a scalable solution. It is the largest advantage of the solution."
"I like that Databricks is a unified platform that lets you do streaming and batch processing in the same place. You can do analytics, too. They have added something called Databricks SQL Analytics, allowing users to connect to the data lake to perform analytics. Databricks also will enable you to share your data securely. It integrates with your reporting system as well."
"The solution is an impressive tool for data migration and integration."
"The capacity of use of the different types of coding is valuable. Databricks also has good performance because it is running in spark extra storage, meaning the performance and the capacity use different kinds of codes."
"Databricks is hosted on the cloud. It is very easy to collaborate with other team members who are working on it. It is production-ready code, and scheduling the jobs is easy."
"The customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"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 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 system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"Scalability is an area with certain shortcomings. The solution's scalability needs improvement."
"It's not easy to use, and they need a better UI."
"I would like more integration with SQL for using data in different workspaces."
"There are no direct connectors — they are very limited."
"It would be great if Databricks could integrate all the cloud platforms."
"Databricks would have more collaborative features than it has. It should have some more customization for the jobs."
"I have had some issues with some of the Spark clusters running on Databricks, where the Spark runtime and clusters go up and down, which is an area for improvement."
"There should be better integration with other platforms."
"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."
"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 room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"Being an analytical solution, it should have more visualization options like graphs. When we are putting it, it should have more options. The UI can be made more modernized based on today's market. Sometimes, when we are doing heavy reports or dashboarding, there is a bit of a performance issue because it is pulling up a huge amount of data. That can be improvised by buffer memory and getting some buffer memory feature into it. It is a bit complex because it is a CPM solution. It helps you to get the information based on the different tools that we are using, which is a bit of a complex thing. It is not as easy as Microsoft Power BI. It is also not that easy as an implementation piece. It takes time to convert the business requirement into the proper solutions in the tool, which is time-consuming. It took about eight months to do the complete implementation. We got some training from the partner and the Jedox team, which helped us later on in pulling things forward, but too much learning is required, and too many possibilities are there."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"Jedox should improve the design and server issues."
"From a development perspective, there's room for improvement in the area called the designer, where you actually build your reports to make it easier to manage the process."
"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."
