"Solver is a powerful tool. Once over the learning curve, Solver is a key component in automation."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

The ability to create custom reports and send them electronically to the appropriate parties in one click. I also love the Archive feature, as I can refer users back to this area instead of resending manually via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Sometimes I have to add back fields such as Account, Account Description, etc. They don't disappear; the report just stops working until I drag these over the existing fields (replace them). I haven't been able to locate the cause for this to occur. However, it is almost like having to start over.

I would love to see more Period Functions. For example, I need a Daily Balance report for Cash and cannot create it due to the limited options.

Because each report is a stand-alone report, I find that changes, for example to an Income Statement, require making the change for each presentation (Monthly, Year to Date, Trailing Twelve Month). As the number of reports grow this is becoming more cumbersome.

It would be helpful if, as Admin, I could turn off certain functions that I do not wish for users to have the ability to access when running reports. For example: Comment, Share, Add to Archive.

When combining multiple reports through Publish, it is often difficult to determine which report parameters belong to which report. It would be helpful to see the report name next to the parameters.

It would be helpful as well if troubleshooting were easier to locate online. I often find it challenging to find the answers to my issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Effective BI Reporting Suite"
5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

We use Solver for all of our financial reporting and company-wide forecasting that takes place every year. Solver allows us to quickly pull together raw data from our ERP and pretty it up in a way that makes sense to our end users. The planning feature allows us to forecast through Solver, which lets the end-user enter their own budget for a store and save it via the writeback functionality. Solver has saved our company countless hours of spreadsheeting and keeps our reporting secure with centralized version control. Being "excel like", Solver is also easily accepted and understood.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Issues can sometimes be hard to track down, and if an update is required to solve an issue, that can also take a while to come back. I also think the integration piece could use some adjustments, such as being able to cancel a job that is currently running. If per say the cloud gateway connection drops during an integration job runtime, the job will get hung up until it times out or the next scheduled job runs, which can cause some frustration and could be easily resolved if the job could be stopped on demand.
