9 Spokes vs Excel4apps

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for letting your investors, employees and others know at a glance how your company is doing. The interface is clean and organized well. I just wish more of the app's functionality was available for testing and implementation. "Coming soon" is not really encouraging when we already have been waiting for a year or more.

It suited for data loads that can be handled via spreadsheets without much validation on the data base side of the application environment. I would not use this to load gigabytes of data but for operational use where key strokes can be reduced and errors minimized, it is fine. This replaces the need to key stroke in Oracle Forms.

Easy to install and maintain. After the initial installation, there is little involvement by the technical administrators.
Cloning production to a test environment does not require any additional setups unlike Oracle EBS which does.
Loading data and reporting on this data is handled via EXCEL spreadsheets which is the "language" of our financial users.

Cons

Integration with apps that are listed. Some of them are not supported yet and it seems the wait is taking longer than I'd like.
iPhone support. It would be nice to have this in the app store. Not available as of 04/25/2018.

Really cannot think of anything I would have them do differently. It does not require any intervention by the data base or system administrators after initial installation which is quite easy and bug free.

Support was helpful in the beginning but no longer needed because I didn't use the software as much. The experience that I did have with support was very friendly but not enough to give a good review. If the support team was called for initial setup, video chat or messenger app was used.

I actually chose QuickBooks (currently using) and Method (used for a month) before deciding that 9 Spokes is just good for looking at a few apps in one place. I'll keep checking back with them to see if they have improved. I wouldn't be surprised if 9 Spokes improves their product within the next 6-12 months.
