"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 Excel interface is designed to retrieve data from the database and send it back, which is a significant advantage."
"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 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 customer porting is the most valuable feature."
"The main strength of Jedox lies in mastering the navigation, especially the Excel add-in."

"It's wonky, and not super user-friendly with Excel."
"Extracting data is a little slow."
"The tool's transport layer could be improved when promoting development between environments."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"There is room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."

"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
