Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Tableau, Oracle and others in BI (Business Intelligence) Tools."The most valuable feature is developing reports from different data sources, making it a reliable data source."
"The comprehensiveness or broadness of the software functions or business intelligence functions that it provides is valuable. It is also quite easy to use and user-friendly."
"Mapbox integration for geospatial analytics down to longitude/latitude layers."
"The three IBM Cognos features I find the most valuable are Dynamic Cubes, PowerPlay, and Watson."
"We use IBM Cognos for enterprise analytics and reporting."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"IBM Cognos is an excellent solution for tax, planning, budgeting, profit and loss statements and balance sheets."
"Dashboarding, reporting, and ad hoc reporting are the valuable features of IBM Cognos."
"We can configure and have complete freedom while creating solutions."
"The EPM is the most valuable feature."
"The Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"We use the tool for performance management and planning."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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 solution is very versatile."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."
"Data modeling needs to be improved. We use the ETL process, and when we get errors, we then need to identify which structural change is required. The error messaging should be better. They should be descriptive rather than semantic."
"The tool needs to improve the connectivity since I see that, at times, there is a need to increase the memory in the database."
"Tableau and Power BI are faster than Cognos."
"There are some problems with how Cognos handles huge data sets and when connecting with multiple sources and searching the data."
"Extending features on dashboards so it becomes a real dashboard building application, not only a data exploration tool."
"Need improvement towards Visualization."
"It would be better if it is was easier to implement without extensive training for it."
"We need more predictive analytical functions, not only diagnostic or decryptic analytics."
"The solution should enable a modern look and feel in the front end."
"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 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."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
