Users have reported decreased manual errors and time in consolidating data for calculations, reports, and graphs, making it more reliable. This feature has given users more confidence in their decisions and helped them understand what areas need improvement in their organizations.

The software's KPI system features have also been useful to users who struggled with understanding and implementing KPI systems within their companies. The tool is especially beneficial as it matches different profiles with different KPIs, making it easier to develop an organization's scorecard dashboard. Monitoring each KPI's current performance has enabled users to track employee progress continually, making the process of employee appraisals easier. BSC Designer's well-designed interface that is self-explanatory has also reduced the learning curve, making it easy to access and update information contained in the same database.
