Use Cases and Deployment Scope

BI360 is currently being used by our Accounting and Finance Department. Our main goal is to create a dashboard available to the entire organization for information to be readily available real time. This will make finding information throughout different departments much easier and faster.

Pros

Ability to combine different information into one report.
Report building is similar to excel, which makes for easier use.
Current information is always pulled.

Cons

BI360 could make their report building parameters more friendly to use, but it's not terrible.

Likelihood to Recommend

BI360 is well suited if you are trying to build reports for user access outside of the finance department. I believe BI360 would not be as useful to a company is smaller and does not have a myriad of departments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using BI360, a Solver product for reporting and budgeting processes. We use BI360 reporting across the whole organization. It addresses budgeting and normalization of reports. We reduced our number of reports by 72% by using this software's user access control feature.

Pros

Budgeting is one of the Best features they have in BI360.
Excel-based reporting gives all Excel-lovers more confident.
Data Warehouse holds data from different systems, so cross-platform reporting made easy.

Cons

Real-time data for reporting is not available when you get it from the warehouse.
Not compatible with Google Chrome.
Lack of version and source control for reports on the Web portal.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have multiple departments where they use different sources and application to reports. Solver provided us with this solution in forms of Web portal reporting, which can be accessed across the Whole company, which reduces the number of reports significantly and uniformity. One reporting application through a single source.

Our budgeting process is unique last year we had many account executives shuffled, which made very complex for us to reassign accounts and budget for their sales. with complex Budgeting templates, it was not easy anyway. We had to rework our template through 4 revisions.
