Overall Satisfaction with BizNet Excel Suite

It is used by our company, I personally sell and support it. I also use it to calculate my monthly billings.
  • Financials
  • Storing data as BizProperties
  • Complex calculations made easier using BizInsight 7
  • Make the Excel add-in more stable. It seems like any Windows update or change breaks the add-in.
  • Tables don't always refresh correctly, ability to sort tables upon refresh and ability to make dynamic - these functions are there, but don't work well.
  • Make complex calculations easier - recently did a payroll report for overtime and needed to contact support for assistance with the calculations and it wasn't able to do it - had to use a workaround with Excel functions combined with BizInsight functions and lots of hidden columns.
  • Great product and easy to sell.
Easier to use and better price point. Great technical support.
Great for financials, complex reports with multiple criteria and lists are more difficult. Also, calculation times can be slow.

Using BizNet Excel Suite

3 - Sales, support, VP
2 - Understanding of Excel, good listeners and ability to translate clients lingo into a final report or troubleshooting a problem.
  • Financials
  • Monthly billing reports
  • Monthly billing reports
  • Client payroll overtime calculation report
Lack of communication from BizNet on new policies with the resellers, changes in the policies that affect the client aren't positive in my opinion.

Evaluating BizNet Excel Suite and Competitors

Yes - 

Sage Intelligence - difficult to use

FRx - not supported any longer

F9 - slow, not user friendly, support is terrible

  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
  • Prior Experience with the Product
  • Vendor Reputation
  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
We are a reseller - the price is competitive to Sage, it's easier to use than Sage, all our clients have purchased it mostly due to their relationship and trust with us as a reseller.

Yes - Almost all of the issues I've reported have been resolved quickly. Two of them took a few months and one of them I was told they wouldn't resolve as it wasn't a bug, the problem is with Excel.
Linda Davis always provides the best support and she follows through regularly and checks to see if things are resolved to a satisfactory result. She's amazing!
