The cost and performance of this product are the most important considerations that we had before purchasing it. Since we deployed Lustre everything in file and data management programs has been running effectively. Documentation of clients' contacts is done effectively and the data is securely stored for future reference. The user interface is flexible and any new user can easily work with it.

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.

the platform offers a clean, easy to use interface. You can customize reports and dashboard. Integration is also pretty good, you can integrate to Xero, QBO and MYOB and excel spreadsheets. It also offers very broad supporting documents and webinars. There are only two downside of Spotlight; learning curve (it could be a bit difficult at the beginning to learn the system) and price point (For small businesses, Spotlight Reporting can be seen as relatively expensive compared to other reporting tools)

I've never had to contact support, as of yet I have had no issues or problems with the tool. This is after 5 years of use.

This was my first storage software since I started my role as Marketing Manager. It has always served our department well enhancing the achievement of our marketing goals. Our customer's data is securely managed under a safe database. Access to information and categorization of workloads has been simplified under the Lustre system. It can be easily maintained and the cost can be afforded by both large and small scale businesses.

I think Dell is better with its dashboard and ease of use, but SQL Sentry is better at customization. We used Spotlight at my previous company, and SQLSentry at my current company.

  • Spotlight is reasonably inexpensive, and any one of the multiple things we use it for more than justifies the cost.
