JarviX vs. OpenText Magellan

JarviX is very good at data integration, creating charts and reports for data visualization. It is really impressive that Jarvix can let our marketing team know the number of members living in a specific area in seconds. In addition, the product manager from Synergies is willing to help us with all problems we encounter. I accidentally changed one of the settings in a data table which threw the existing dashboard into chaos. However, after assistance from the product manager, we were able to successfully bring the data back to normal.

If you do not have a large budget and are a large organization, I would steer clear of Actuate. If you are looking to do very complex washboarding, I would not use them. Your developers have to be very skilled to work with this. Plan to bring in consultants if necessary to help your process. Adhoc reporting is weak. If your pricing is user based and you expand, this could be very expensive.

• The algorithm platform is handy
• Time-saving
• Real-time data update
• Database docking

• The report outputs can vary across different types such as HTML, PDF, and Excel
• Their open source offering is very sufficient
• There are great boards and blogs for developers and engineers to expand and use their features.
• The people from the company that I've worked with are professional and courteous.

• There should be more flexibility in changing the data tables uploaded into JarviX. For example, it should enable users to edit the syntax of the table or change the data format of the columns without affecting the existing dashboard and charts already created using that data table.

• The documentation on all the available features, but most importantly on the scripting side, can be improved
• The standard look & feel of some basic options, like parameter selection or sorting and filtering, looks dated and can't be customized
• The server portal needs to provide better tools
• More integration is needed with other OpenText products

I am no longer working for the company that was using Actuate but I believe they would continue to use it because the stitching costs would be to high. It would require a complete rewrite of the reports and the never version of Actuate (BIRT) even required an almost complete report rewrite

JarviX is very easy to use, once everyone learns how to use JarviX to produce their own data reports, it reduces IT’s workload.

It is quite intuitive to use. It is fit specifically for doing sentiment, emotion, and intention analysis as well as text classification and text summarization. I would have given 10 if it is fit for the purpose of doing image processing and analysis as well. There is a huge market to analyze video and image data.

Always there on the front and backend for us and the client.

Tableau and Power BI. Obviously, they are not in the same category. Tableau and Power BI only provide data visualizations plus a little bit of analytics. JarviX not only provides data exploration, so you can find out what the problem is, as well as model management and App builder. If you only look for a dashboard, yes BI is probably enough, but if you constantly feel lacking actionable insights for actual implementations of improvements, JarviX is the choice for you.

It is vastly superior to these in many ways, for complex reporting it is a much more sophisticated solution. Visualizations are very good. Javascript extensibility is very powerful, others don't support this or as well. Pentaho and MS are both OLAP oriented. Pentaho is moving more toward big data, which was not our primary focus. Others are stuck in the Crystal Reports Band metaphor.

• I think the best part of JarviX is that we can get the analysis results in several minutes. We spent lots of time making reports and managing our data in the past. All in all, it helps us save the time, cost, and labor of managing data.

• Actuate can handle 50 to 60 sub reports inside a report very well.
• Dynamically creating the datasource, chart, graph, reports are the main advantages. We can do any level of drilling, and can create a performance matrix dashboard efficiently.
