Quest Software
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.

ReadyAPI and SwaggerHub are a match made in heaven. Being able to so easily import the API directly into ReadyAPI and then being able to generate a test suite from the API is my favorite part of these softwares. We have rather large services so building out the API can take some time

SmartBear
  • Treating the design as documentation ensures that we have consistent and well defined APIs
  • API consumers can export the swagger definition or code stubs to use within their development environment
  • We can iterate through multiple versions of a definition privately before making a version publicly available

Cons
Quest Software
  • My only complaint was the cost.

  • The user interface could be more improved to sustain with other similar tools in the market.
  • Beneficial if we have better integration with third party softwares.
  • Nice to have ability to download the documentation in usable formats.

Usability
Quest Software
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.

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.

The only other product we looked at was Postman. But we liked the SwaggerHub UI & the integrations it has with the AWS API gateway. Though Postman has some other great features like the ability to write test cases & execute them, SwaggerUI was more convenient to document & share them.

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