CCH Tagetik is strong on statutory consolidation and disclosure — but it's premium-priced, consultant-led to implement and upgrade, and the data model is closed. Konsolidat delivers IFRS/GAAP consolidation you can own, audit, and run on open source.
You pay enterprise license fees for consolidation logic you could otherwise own outright under MIT.
Implementations and version upgrades typically need specialist partners. Konsolidat is version-controlled SQL your own team can read.
You can't inspect every calculation. With Konsolidat, the code is the documentation — every figure traces to source.
An honest comparison for a 10–500 user enterprise group over a three-year horizon. Figures are typical ranges, not quotes.

| Source code access | ✓ Full MIT | ✗ |
| Vendor lock-in | None | High |

CCH Tagetik, like every commercial EPM, is a closed SaaS you rent — the model, the data, the roadmap, all on the vendor’s terms. Konsolidat gives you the whole application to run on your own infrastructure, inspect, fork, and own.
Konsolidat is an open-source EPM alternative to CCH Tagetik: Excel-native consolidation, allocation, budgeting and variance on a ClickHouse + dbt backend, connected to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and ERPNext, with no license fee under MIT. It's a lower-cost, lower-lock-in option — not a feature-for-feature replacement in every niche.
Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); your only cost is operating it. A managed option is available. CCH Tagetik typically involves six- to seven-figure licensing plus implementation over three years.
Yes — multi-entity IFRS/GAAP consolidation with FX translation, CTA, intercompany elimination, NCI and ownership changes, validated by 26 automated tests on every run.
Yes. Results come through =EPM() worksheet functions in the spreadsheets finance already uses — no new modeling UI to learn.
