    If you would like your data in one place with easy access, this is the software for you. You can have data from multiple systems and bring it into one view so that you have a quick and easily visible dashboard for the data you wish to see.

    Phrazor is well suited for use in larger companies, especially those that operate globally and need to get region-specific or country-specific data and reports. I found Phrazor to be less appropriate for use in smaller companies (especially non-profit organizations) that may not benefit from extensive reporting. Non-profit organizations don't necessarily have projected sales growth and inventory costs.

    Usability
    Phocas
    It is a very user-friendly product and is easy to understand. You can get your data from just a quick click and the dashboard loads. You can take the data and drill down easy to find what you are looking for.

    Our company experienced some difficulty during implementation trying to get data imported and uploaded. We reached out to support and received much-needed assistance, and we were able to move forward with data importation. Several of our users, including myself, experienced some difficulty in understanding the system, so it took some time to use it fully. For a first-time user, there were almost too many filters and options to choose from.

    Great! Anytime I needed assistance and reached out to support, I received amazing help, and everyone was always very nice. The reason I did not rate support a ten is that often the hold time was quite long. When you are in a time crunch and need data immediately, it is frustrating not to get immediate support.

    I enjoyed using Phrazor better; however, as a new user, I was a bit frustrated getting started. Microsoft Power BI had more videos available online than I found. Phrazor had more adaptability and customization for our company, which overall made it a better fit over competitive products. My coworkers and I demoed Sisense, and we chose not to purchase it due to it not being a good fit.
