Excel4apps Reviews & Insights

Used mainly by finance department but also by other analysts across the organization.
It is mainly used to retrieve financial data.

It is wonderful for analysing since you can easily drill down to the level of detail you want for the data. It is also very helpful for monthly reporting with the preset report and you can create your own standardized report too. As long as you set up the data retrieve formula properly, you can retrieve different year, budget and forecast data from the system easily by changing a few criteria. It is more data driven so it is less appropriate for management who are looking for visual and summarized reports.

We use Excel4apps locally on our team. We started using the tool to help us identify trends in feature usage data. It's been incredibly helpful to input a large amount of data and have the tool piece through the data. The tool also has been helpful to track team spending. Our team has a set budget each fiscal year to spend on a series of activities. The tool helps us keep up to date on how much was spent and the budget remaining.

I would rate a 7. This is because if you're tech-savvy, getting the tool set up and distributed across the team is quite easy. However, if you run into an issue, getting the right kind of support has been difficult. I would say the only improvement to the tool would be to have a handy FAQ available. Other than that, the benefits outweigh the cons of the software. The app is well suited for forecasting, cash management, profit /loss statements.

[Excel4apps] is used throughout out company. I personally use it with my lab and my results calculations, pricing for proposals, and is our typical format for creation of forms and templates. I love the easy formatting and calculations we can use to create the multiple documents/calculations that we need to have.

Would recommend this software 100% for any type of business. Once you are familiar with it, it can be easily used for any reason.

We have to calculate most all Lab / Pilot / Proposals sizing and results. The automated calculations in [Excel4apps] is awesome, as once you are familiar with them, it is easy to quickly implement them when needed.

The product is being used by one of our Business Units in South America. It is a replacement product for Oracle's Web ADI that is used by other business units of the company. It is less complex to maintain and install than the Web ADI product and there is very little that needs to be done to keep it running.

It suited for data loads that can be handled via spreadsheets without much validation on the data base side of the application environment. I would not use this to load gigabytes of data but for operational use where key strokes can be reduced and errors minimized, it is fine. This replaces the need to key stroke in Oracle Forms.
