We performed a comparison between Anaplan and Jedox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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's simple to use with a lot of functions."
"Anaplan's most valuable features are that it's a no-coding platform, everything can be scaled to your other functions, and it's easy to learn and use (especially because Anaplan provides excellent interactive training)."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is web-based and easy to use."
"It's highly flexible. If you've got a complex environment with complex calculations, you can build that out. So that's a really good positive."
"The most valuable feature of Anaplan is machine learning. The solution is constantly evolving from feedback. Additionally, there is a wide range of training material online."
"Where we're seeing the opportunity in the market is at the Fortune 100 companies that have far more complex modeling type scenarios where you need to be able to have a lot of people collaborating together, and you need a lot of information all at everyone's fingertips. This is where you see the big advantage of a solution like Anaplan."
"This product has a very good modeling feature, and its graphical representation of visualizations has also been valuable."
"The solution scales well."
"The data entry point is most valuable. The way we can customize our report or do data entry is very good."
"The system is quite flexible. Based on our requirements, we create different cubes that can help us to do complete planning."
"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 ease of reporting is one of Jedox's most valuable features."
"The solution is very versatile."
"The ETL function simplifies many tasks."
"The cloud engine slows down when working with a large dataset. It still lacks a powerful engine."
"Anaplan is a relatively expensive piece of software."
"The integration technique should be a little bit easier."
"The negative is that the higher the flexibility, the higher is the complexity. That can act against you as a negative because it does require a model builder or a coder/developer."
"Anaplan's workflow component is probably the biggest area for improvement. I'd also like to see Anaplan add an ad hoc reporting tool that allows users to query things. It's going to factor into how you design your data set and your models, but I'd like the ability to create ad hoc queries against the data that's in there."
"Space and integration are a problem."
"The tool needs to work on its integration with MS Excel and MS Word. The tool does not allow data analysis in spreadsheets which is possible on other platforms. I want the solution to be more collaborative to facilitate decision-making in organizations."
"One area of improvement is conditional formatting. It's not very practical, and you need to specify additional formatting."
"Online pixel-perfect reporting is an aspect that has room for improvement."
"Visualization is something they need to improve. We have already told them about this, and they should be working on it."
"There is not much training for Jedox."
"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."
"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 room for improvement in the scalability. It is a very massive tool. It's not easy to just build everything yourself."
"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."
