Bilflo vs. Longview Analytics (arcplan)

It aided the smooth operation of our recruitment process. Anyone who is interested in working with the company can gain access. Assume I'm a salesperson looking to expand my team. In that situation, I have the ability to approve or reject candidates, as well as add follow-ups to the dashboard. This is where I explain why I'm rejecting an applicant or why the interview has been rescheduled.

It is very suitable for complete corporate BI solutions. If you see BI as embedding information into your organization and business processes, and thus as more than just a few scattered dashboards and reports, arcplan is your platform. It's less suitable for ad-hoc reporting and data discovery. It can do it (everything is possible), but there is strong competition in this area.

• Bilflo gives me access to achieving my goals. It is very user-friendly system.
• The GP calculator is very helpful.
• This system allows for many different time-keeping and pay-structure.

• Positioning and marketing. Most BI vendors use a non-technical sales strategy and focus on shiny, sexy dashboards to sell the story. In order to position arcplan fairly and correctly, the technical and business advantages need to be part of a sales story. So, it is not really an easy product to sell to customers, if it has to compete with now-to-wow-five-minute products.
• Learning/training for developers. It's easy to learn the basics of arcplan, because the interface is logical. But nothing prevents a beginning developer from creating a monstrous application, because there is no prescribed architecture. It really takes some experience to become a good arcplan architect. It's a disadvantage resulting from one of arcplan's biggest advantages.
• Data connectors: arcplan standard comes with a connector of your choice. Additional connectors need to be purchased separately. Many other products come with a full range of connectors.

The support team cares for the success of the party. They even provided full scale help in the implementation process.

Personally, I prefer QlikView not because it's more stable but simply just for the looks of the dashboard. One of my clients in Sydney recently moved from arcplan to QlikView. The reason was mainly looks and that QlikView has more training materials for the support users to train with. So in all, it does not really stack well against QlikView.

• It definitely made an positive impact overall.
• The features are amazing and useful.
