Devart Excel Add-in is being used by specific departments of our organization as some departments don't require this feature for their job function. It helps a lot for all the users as it keeps the documents and databases in the cloud - hence making it possible to use them anywhere. We are able to go to meetings and share documents online with the help of this.
- Devart Excel Add-in supports connectivity with various databases - which really helps to customize and massage data.
- Since data is available in cloud, it is easily accessible everywhere.
- It can also be integrated with SSIS components making it possible to resolve complex problems.
Cons
- It has room for improvement in terms of security and making it possible for large organizations like us to use it in a more secure way with integrating with our in-house security systems.
- Pricing could be reduced further for it to be adopted world-wide.
- it isn't foolproof. Excel has no means of checking for human error during data entry, which means that the wrong information can skew all the results - sometimes severe.
- Users unfamiliar with Excel syntax may also find entering calculations and calling up other functions a bit frustrating until they get a solid understanding.

- It had a positive ROI as we used it on its strengths. We could save time and make some of our processes simpler.
- It does help us up to a certain limit - but it acts as a part of our general IT infrastructure. It cannot solve our direct business objectives.
- It cannot be expanded in all directions as we need a lot more native coding and IT infrastructure.
Devart Excel stacks up very well against its alternatives. It has significant advantages as it keeps getting an update. Features are very much suitable for smaller organizations. For larger organizations the features cannot be used directly because of the size of the company and more native requirements of IT software requirements.
