Analyst (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • Retrieve data for financial reports (template or manual set report in excel)
  • To drill down into journal entries for detail analysis
  • To distinguish the input of different type of entries and by different users

Cons

  • It is possible but difficult to retrieve data or set criteria from different module into a single report or retrieve. If it is more user friendly instead of having to create a complex formula to retrieve the data, this function will be utilized more often.
  • It will be nice to have visual (graphs, etc.) report template available
  • It is helpful if we can retrieve data for a range of date, instead of just YTD, PTD etc. and multi-year data all at once for comparison too.

Return on Investment

  • It improved analysts' efficiency in data review
  • It helps in monthly reports (timely)
  • It improve the feasibility of some of the financial review.

Professional in Information Technology (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • Easy to install and maintain. After the initial installation, there is little involvement by the technical administrators.
  • Cloning production to a test environment does not require any additional setups unlike Oracle EBS which does.
  • Loading data and reporting on this data is handled via EXCEL spreadsheets which is the "language" of our financial users.

Cons

  • Really cannot think of anything I would have them do differently. It does not require any intervention by the data base or system administrators after initial installation which is quite easy and bug free.
