    Just about any organization with more than one server and more than one cluster as it scales very well. Configuration of the application takes time and finesse to fine tune to where the balance of load time and getting data quickly meets. The plugins add load time but fine tuning for the application to meet demand needs nailed down at implementation

    My favorite part is using if for analytical review reports, especially budget to actual reviews. I can make changes to the GL based on issues found during the review and the report updates immediately without having to update, re-key, verify changes, etc. I know it is going to be updated and correct every time.

    • Once a worksheet has been created, you can change a single cell and update the entire report. This makes it much easier than recreating a report every time you start.
    • It draws data directly from our database that can be filtered down in various ways. This allows us to get the data that we really need quicker.

    Cons
    Grafana Labs
    • There are some settings which we can't configure from UI (Web Console).
    • We've open[ed] up configuration files in command line text editors and manually do the settings e.g. LDAP/SSO configuration.
    • In terms of visualization, it's best, but it doesn't support log analysis otherwise it could destroy business of all other visualization tools.

    • Access to comprehensive training for new users is lacking. While the pay-based BizNet University has some useful videos it doesn't allow for other learning styles.
    • Having to create a separate OCBC data source and linked server for each arm of business opened is sometimes a hassle.

    Lack of communication from BizNet on new policies with the resellers, changes in the policies that affect the client aren't positive in my opinion

    Usability
    Grafana Labs
    It is infinitely flexible. If you can imagine it, Grafana can almost certainly do it. Usability may be in the eye of the beholder however, as there is time needed to curate the experience and get the dashboards customized to how it makes sense to you. I know one thing they are working on are more templates, based on data sources

    We went pretty seamlessly into BizNet, but could have had lots of trouble if the professional service was not aware of our set up and use.

    Grafana blows Nagios out of the water when it comes to customization. The ability to feed almost any data source makes it very versatile and the cost is great.

    FRX - Great Plains Report Writer - These do produce financial reports but are much more tedious to set up. BizNet is much more flexible and easier to use. The functionality is an Excel add-on which allows us to use the powerful functionality of Excel as well as Biznet's functionality to do data retrieval from Sage 100 general ledger.

    • BizNet continues to pay for itself.
    • I am sure we haven't even learned to use half of what it is capable of and their customer service is top notch.
    • I would say that BizNet continues to have a positive impact on our entire financial portion of our business.
