jedox is a platform designed based on OLAP (so called 'Cubes'), which is a common solution for such type of software. Such a common solution helps to understand the main principles of work and modelling relatively fast.
The best features I can state are the following:
0. Clear Structure - web-interface is divided into several sections, which logically distinguish from each other (Modeler, Designer, Integrator, Reports, etc.).
1. Integrator - powerful instrument to (1) set-up connections with other systems (including API) to import/export necessary information; (2) set-up automation to read/write/delete data from the Cubes/Dimensions inside jedox. Also includes a scheduler.
2. Rules - allows to design calculations of differences indices, KPIs in the way you want to see it.
3. Splashing - very useful feature, which allows to change data in the system by simply typing '+10%' and '-1000' to allowed cells. It helps to make high level changes in a seconds, build different scenarios.
4. Excel Ad-In - allows to read/create basic reports using commonly used software of every analytic - MS Excel. Easy to set-up and used, could be very helpful.
5. Marketplace - there are already designed models provided by external vendors and jedox itself, which could be added/purchased to every instance of jedox. Includes free of charge basic models, which could be useful on first steps into jedox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Common difficulties/cons you need to understand at the start of implementation:
1. Requires investing of time into trainings (for administrators, reporters) - such solutions probably could not be simply installed and used 'from the box'. It requires time to spend for trainings/certifications provided by jedox or other partners. The good thing is that jedox academy provides a lot of free of charge videos to make the very first steps into jedox and make offline trainings more effecient.
2. Some elements of interface could be more user-friendly - Rules editor is developing over time but still remains not 100% user friendly; Reports editors is really similar to Excel but functional is limited if compare 2 products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
