Likelihood to Recommend	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) No answers on this topic	Quest Spotlight’s ability to consolidate data from various entities and provide insightful reports is highly beneficial. It streamlines financial reporting, allowing professionals to focus on advisory services and strategic decision-making.Small businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that need regular board packs or executive summaries find Spotlight useful. Less Appropriate: Certain industries (e.g., specialized manufacturing, healthcare, or research) have unique reporting needs. Spotlight’s generic templates may not cover all industry-specific metrics or compliance requirements. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review

Alternatives Considered	IDERA (an Idera, Inc. company) No answers on this topic	Quest Spotlight is more usable, better at meeting requirements.
