An Awesome Solution for Business Intelligence

I like that it has several different views so we can see things from many angles at once (which helps with our analysis). The price point makes this product accessible by most companies who need these types tools but do not have large budgets as well! There are some minor quirks here &there which could be improved upon if they were addressed - such improvements would make us want use them even further than already might happen otherwise :) We're solving problems related specifically around…

Pros
  • Also nice is how easily you may customize any page or tab layout according too individual preferences
Cons
  • None

Active Data's D2L does meet our need

I like that it is very easy to use and has a lot of built-in functions. Some of the formulas are not as intuitive as they could be.

Pros
  • Easy layout
  • Can create custom forms easily.
  • Has many features available within one program instead having multiple different programs needed (Excel/Access)
Cons
  • Nothing

Support needn't always ask so many questions before answering them- not everyone has knowledge about…

Pros
  • Extensive collection tool set
  • Detailed Reports available for analysis purposes
  • Customizable Dashboard widgets helps in providing visibility into business metrics across various departments, such monitoring provides an opportunity create cross departmental opportunities where none existed previously.
  • Good self service portal
Cons
  • Mostly okay, but...
