The short version

Each has a real cost: Glean no pricing published on website; enterprise sales model requires demo request; Jedox cube modelling is a specialist skill closer to IBM TM1 than to a modern SaaS planning tool, so most customers depend on a partner or a single internal expert whose departure leaves the model unmaintainable.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Glean

No pricing published on website; enterprise sales model requires demo request

Jedox

Cube modelling is a specialist skill closer to IBM TM1 than to a modern SaaS planning tool, so most customers depend on a partner or a single internal expert whose departure leaves the model unmaintainable.
Almost every deployment carries a partner implementation fee that frequently matches or exceeds the first year of licence, and that cost never appears in the vendor comparison you are shown.
The Excel add-in is the strongest client, which means Mac-based and browser-only users get a materially thinner experience than the Windows majority.
Dashboards and visual analytics are weaker than dedicated BI tools, so organisations typically keep Power BI or Tableau alongside Jedox and pay for both.
Insight Partners took a majority stake in 2021, and the pressure toward a cloud subscription base has meant self-managed customers see new capability later than cloud ones.
