I like that we can see our forecasts in comparison to actuals as well as historical data so it's easy for us all at once when making decisions about what next steps are needed! It would be great if there was more detail available - maybe some additional graphs or charts? We have not found any downsides yet but this software has been very useful since its implementation last year (and will continue being helpful!). Our organization uses BLP primarily during quarterly planning meetings where everyone gets together around one large boardroom table/desk area using laptops instead of paper spreadsheets which makes things much easier than having multiple people working off separate sheets.
