Overall Satisfaction with Quantrix

Forecasting and financial planning. Mostly within planning or finance departments. Those are just a few of the many problems it can address. It is a general-purpose modeling tool so, like Excel, can address a huge range of business problems that require a model to be developed.
  • Time series modeling.
  • The product does modeling particularly well because it provides multi-dimensional structures and a multidimensional modeling language.
  • The user interface is a strength due to its point and click/drag and drop design. This enables fast model development.
  • The product integrates well with SQL database tables, both reading and writing SQL tables.
  • Extending the point and click capability into all areas of the product, particularly wherever "expressions" are used.
  • More meaningful formula error messages, rather than, for example, #size, #value, timeline cannot support this formula etc. These mystify inexperienced users.
  • Ability to switch off auto complete in formula pane.
  • Glitchy border lines and grey space in outline layout.
Anywhere where a custom designed model of any complexity is needed and the organisation has, or can establish, a sufficiently skilled resource to master the process of model development with a new modelling language.

Less appropriate when a package solution is required.
