We have been using alcarconcordancesoftware since 2013 when we had an instance of it running inside one system (Oracle EBS) to allow us access from Oracle Business Intelligence, as well our other systems such SAP Netweaver B1 System Landscape Management - Infrastructure Maintenance Service which could use their own naming conventions , then i was able get this into my reporting environment . I am now working with multiple platforms including PowerBI Desktop 2016 where you don't need any customization/plugins but still getting issues while trying create reports directly via powerbi desktop so went back again looking at alternative solutions after some research found out about its ability support various different types like SQL Server MSSQL oracle db2 dbase etc also supporting non technical users who just want something simple easy install & run! And best part is once installed there's no coding involved only configuration required before starting creating report templates / dashboards ect.. With all these options comes downsides though most are related around performance especially if your dealing wth huge volume records being brought across tables even tho im aware they will perform differently depending upon platform used ..i would personally recommend going through demo version first rather than go live because things may change during testing phase due bugs fix releases new features added enhancements made by software developers. But overall has worked really good over last 4years allowing me integrate many disparate sources together quickly without having much issue managing them within same dashboard making sure nothing gets lost between source integration process. If needed additional functionality implemented very easily done! Recommend others tryout!
