    We have to calculate most all Lab / Pilot / Proposals sizing and results. The automated calculations in [Excel4apps] is awesome, as once you are familiar with them, it is easy to quickly implement them when needed.

    Excel4apps
    • 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.

    Excel4apps
    • It is possible but difficult to retrieve data or set criteria from different module into a single report or retrieve. If it is more user friendly instead of having to create a complex formula to retrieve the data, this function will be utilized more often.
    • It will be nice to have visual (graphs, etc.) report template available
    • It is helpful if we can retrieve data for a range of date, instead of just YTD, PTD etc. and multi-year data all at once for comparison too.

    I am not a power user of Excel. So I find Exel4apps a friendlier version of the things that I could do on Excel and making it easier with a magic wand.

    Excel4apps is more user friendly and can retrieve data much easier and in a nicer format than Jaspersoft. Qlik Sense is useful and have more visual reporting and dashboard. However, it is usually used for higher level of analyses and review. Yardi is used for specific purpose, which is different than Excel4apps. Excel4apps can pull all the financial data from Oracle, including billing and collections.

    Entendo Screenshots

    Screenshot of Entendo's landing page, which introduces the product's core promise: Ask. We understand. Users type any business question in plain language and get the answer instantly — with charts, context, and reasoning — no SQL, no IT tickets, no waiting for the BI team.Screenshot of where users can upload a spreadsheet or CSV, connect their own SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle), or sync tables from a cloud service like Google Sheets. File upload is the recommended path for first-time users who want to evaluate the product on their own data before connecting production systems.Screenshot of where Entendo connects directly to existing production databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle — using read-only credentials you control. The architecture is read-only by design with four layers of SQL sanitization, so the AI agents can never write, update, or delete data.Screenshot of the conversational interface, which delivers analysis as a complete answer. In this view, the AI is responding about a pessimistic scenario: a revenue line chart on top, headline KPIs in the middle (current revenue, scenario impact, variation percentage), and a comparative bar chart at the bottom. Everything is generated live from the connected database.Screenshot of the Business Analytics Agent responding to a real question: "show me an analysis of the actions being continuously taken to grow revenue by 30%." Instead of dumping a chart, the agent delivers a structured diagnosis — overall picture, central problem, root-cause hypothesis, and concrete actions — grounded in the user's own data.Screenshot of an AI generated chart that can be pinned to a dashboard with a click. This example shows a wholesale operations dashboard with four views: weekly sales by day, top products by unit, critical stock products, and inventory turnover ratio. Dashboards are shareable across the workspace, so the whole team sees the same numbers.
