    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.

    Kibana is indeed a powerful tool and has many use cases especially in environments that rely heavily on real-time log analysis and visualisation. Kibana’s ability to handle large volumes of log data and present it in an accessible, searchable format is invaluable. We use Kibana to monitor security related issues and it proactively alerts our Slack channels about any anomality or issues.

    Pros
    Insightsoftware, Inc
    • 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
    Insightsoftware, Inc
    • 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

    Elastic
    Its usability is generally good and it provides teams with a basic to intermediate understanding about data visualization. It is very user-friendly when it comes to creating dashboards. The UI is very good and simple. Its integration with other tools for alerting and reporting is amazing. But its advance features have a learning curve and a first timer needs some time to use the advance features.

    We have only had a few occasions to call on the support team over 4 years, but every time our need was met in a superior manner.

    We did not use the official Kibana support. Documentation was easy enough to follow.

    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.

    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.

    Kibana is free; it was the first and only thing we've tried in this area.

    Return on Investment
    Insightsoftware, Inc
    • 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.
