Limelight Software
Limelight is well suited for reporting, especially if you're GL is integrated with it. I've been able to create many different types of reports for a wide user base. It's easy to copy reports and change them based on different scenarios. Limelight has been great as a replacement for Excel for forecasting and budgeting. We have many users updating their individual forecasts, which then get consolidated. Previously, we would have to manually consolidated many Excel workbooks. Now this is done automatically by Limelight. Limelight struggles with processing speed if you create more complex reports/templates. I've asked how to speed up reports and most of the response is to make them less complex or have less people using the templates, neither of which work well for us as a solution. The help desk response use to be much better in the past. They have struggled in this area recently.

We have multiple departments where they use different sources and application to reports. Solver provided us with this solution in forms of Web portal reporting, which can be accessed across the Whole company, which reduces the number of reports significantly and uniformity. One reporting application through a single source. Our budgeting process is unique last year we had many account executives shuffled, which made very complex for us to reassign accounts and budget for their sales. with complex Budgeting templates, it was not easy anyway. We had to rework our template through 4 revisions

Since more employees other than accounting employees will be using BI360, it is more user friendly than other report builders.
