What do you dislike about Collectiv?
Overall our experience with Collectiv has been very positive. The devil is often in the details, so there were some aspects of the implementation that could have potentially been better, but I don't think these were out of the ordinary for any implementation.

Recommendations to others considering Collectiv:
I personally believe in the power of the Microsoft data platform for ETL/data storage, analysis, and reporting. Collectiv comprehensively brought these elements together with some of the best in the business. Get ready to work with a group that's just as much invested in your success as you are.

What problems is Collectiv solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created a global financial planning and analysis mechanism, which didn't exist prior to the implementation with Acterys. We have been operating on an outdated planning system for years. That system had parsed data for specific purposes and was therefore NOT a global, enterprise-wide system. For example, some newer business unit didn't have their own data models to plan against and remained on Excel worksheets. The fundamental goal behind the project with Collectiv was to create data models where all data from across the entire company could be planned against and that's what they did.
The benefits of this are potentially immeasurable. It should prove to be a huge savings in time manipulating and aggregating Excel spreadsheets, as well as accuracy and timeliness of reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
