What do you dislike about Solver?

"Great conference!"
4/5
What do you like best about Solver?

Reporting and report designer. I work in Quality and the connection with my ERP system allows for daily information on compliance metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

A few things that are a downside to Solver would be the connection between my ERP system refreshes only once per day. Also the learning curve to the program is steep, I was very fortunate to take the intro courses at the Solver conference. Having directed step-by-step and troubleshooting was excellent in preparing me for use when I got back to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BI360 is amazing to work with!"
5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

Coming from a world where huge Excel spreadsheets with tons of tabs are the norm, BI360 makes running Excel based reports a snap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Like all things, processing time is always annoying. 20 minutes is definitely better than 2+ hours however. Continually improving reports and training can make a big difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to build reports"
5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

I wish I had Solver at my previous company, as we built manual reports every month. Solver is a great tool, easy to use, and its best part is the link it has with Excel. I didn't have to learn a whole new system before being able to use Solver, and it is a very intuitive system as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The only disavantage so far is that the person that builds a report is the specialist in it. And if that person leaves the company and has not trained anyone on that report before, part of the knowledge is lost. It is easily fixed by crosstraining employees/users.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

I like the Excel format as it makes it easy to program and understand. If you can program it in Excel, you can program it in Solver. We use it for budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The error messages are not always helpful, so finding errors can be problematic. Every time you run a report to test it, it protects the report, so you must remove the protection every time to check any fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexibility, seamlessly accommodating both traditional and non-traditional reporting requirements"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

Solver excels in data management and reporting, allowing our organization to handle data efficiently, generate insightful reports, and make informed financial decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Solver's unique reliance on Excel as its foundation presents both its greatest limitation and strength. While Solver offers significant value, there are areas where it could further improve. Enhancements in user interface design and advanced collaboration features would contribute to a more seamless and comprehensive financial reporting, planning, and analysis solution.

"Great tool and great support."
5/5
What do you like best about Solver?

Being new to Solver, I like that reports are built in the Excel environment which I am very familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

It would be great if you could update existing Excel imports. For example, run the P&L and add comments but then have to start all over for the next month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
