    Precisely
    It's more appropriate for inserting, updating, and deleting/deactivating data in bulk from Excel files, and for executing individual transactions in SAP systems in desktop environments, but not so much for executing chains of transactions, à la RPA, or in SAP systems with a web interface. Not Fiori. At least that's our experience with SAP in the desktop interface

    TLM will be well suited for an organization's recon requirements. If the organization is able to afford the software, it will be worth investing the amount. The support for heterogeneous file formats is one of the key features. It can accept swift and flat files. The config screens for ingesting the data are very user-friendly. Overall the time taken for setting up a new recon is very less. TLM can be improved if they bring in some AI/ML algorithms for improved match rates.

    It is very easy to use and learn. I have onboarded many users in the team with very short trainings. Overall feed back is good. Just the issue is with UI change done post becoming "Precisely". Otherwise easy and handy tool and must have for mass data automation and maintenance.

    Excel was used as a traditional recon tool using macros for matching. There is no room to scale up the recons using excel. The recons are cumbersome and take a lot of time to complete. There are more chances of manual errors. No UI to create a good user experience. Overall all negatives compared to TLM
