Bewertungen über Macabacus

Very positive user experience
Kommentare: Very positive experience, which I would recommend to anyone from intern to associate at IBs or PEs
Vorteile:
Very easy to use, extremely powerful to save time while using excel for modelling purposes and allowing for very useful functionalities
Nachteile:
Sometimes makes my laptop a bit slow, but only with large files
I can never go back…
Kommentare: Love it. I can’t use excel without it.
Vorteile:
The features of Macabacus became second nature and I can honestly say - I’ll never go back the time before Macabacus came along. Huge fan of this product and they keep improving every day. Highly recommend.
Nachteile:
I think you could expand upon the chart templates and improve their ease of use. I’d love to see the ability to populate a form word or ppt document from an excel table.
Review of Macabacus
Vorteile:
Macabacus has extremely comprehensive Excel functions (Tracing dependents, 'super' search, keyboard shortcuts) and in PPT is just as helpful (Copying format, shape sizes, aligning sizes, importing pictures from Excel)
Nachteile:
I find Macabacus slower in large workbooks, especially relative to other Excel plugins, which render it sometimes almost unusable and frustrating
The absolute go-to tool for excel modeling in high finance jobs
Kommentare: We use this daily in my job in private equity and it makes my entire job and ability so much quicker and smoother. I wouldn't be able to work as efficiently without it.
Vorteile:
Macabacus's key strength is that it allows you to very quickly format your data and enhance excel's native tools. While this doesn't sound like much, it's a game changer. I don't have to spend time thinking whether or not my data is presentable, and I know that if I have to track through an advanced model, I'll be able to easily do it. There's no way I could do my job as quickly or efficiently without it.
Nachteile:
The only thing that I don't like is that some of hte native features take a bit of getting used to, and the learning curve is pretty steep, but after that, it's smooth sailing.
The Definition of a Sticky Service
Kommentare: If my company stopped paying for Macabacus, I would pay for it out of pocket. I can not use excel without it anymore. It is the most useful and powerful tool I have and I use it literally all day every day.
Vorteile:
The excel functionality, shortcuts, formatting tools, exporting, literally everything in excel. This is the most powerful and intuitive tool I've ever used. It is a must have for modeling and data analysis. It enables you to audit complex sheets while building new ones with ease.
Nachteile:
The worst thing about macabacus is the name! Other than a slightly difficult name to say, it is amazing. I do wish building some of the content libraries and graphics in ppt were a bit easier to do, but its a very small nit on what is otherwise an easy and powerful tool.
Revolutionize your modelling capabilities. This package is mandatory for anyone engaged in modeling
Vorteile:
Easy to use, Easy to install, Highly functional, Intuitive, Excellent support
Nachteile:
Can't think of cons presently. This package always brings up features already installed when I get to think of them!
Essential Plug-in for Financial Analysis
Kommentare: Excellent experience, couldn't do my job without it
Vorteile:
Macabacus has several powerful features that make your life much easier. Features include automatically formatting cells to indicate hard-codes, vs formulas vs links to other sheets/workbooks. More advanced capabilities include tracing dependents and precedents across multiple sheets or workbooks with automated highlighting and drill-down features. Powerpoint features are also very helpful including advanced alignment/sizing functions. Very easy to install and use.
Nachteile:
Macabacus can be buggy at times. You have to be careful when performing certain actions as it can slow down/crash your workbook if you give it too much to do. There should be an option to catch Macabacus before doing a very large operation that will take a long time. Additionally, it can be a pain to upgrade Macabacus when new versions are released as it requires administrator rights and needs to be manually installed, does not automatically deploy via software center or other administrator tools as far as I am aware.
Best plugin for modeling
Kommentare: It saves me time and helps me make my final product look better.
Vorteile:
The shortcuts available save me an incredible amount of time. It takes a bit of time to get everything set up but it is well worth it on the backend.
Nachteile:
Nothing. I think everything works well across MS Office
Financial Modeling Comment
Kommentare: Macabacus is amazing when you learn how to use it, however the learning process is long and sometimes too difficult to junior people. I'll recommend to give some video tutorials to begineer and new users.
Vorteile:
quick formulas such as CAGR, common errors detections, charts template,
Nachteile:
How to standardize slide on templates, how to quickly link textboxes on ppt and excel
Thoughts Around Macabacus After 2 Years of Use
Kommentare: My overall experience has been great and Macabacus has improved my productivity.
Vorteile:
For powerpoint, I utilize the formatting shortcuts daily and find it to be the most useful tool. For excel, I mainly use macabacus for precedent and dependent tracking. However, there are other good tools such as shortcuts for formatting.
Nachteile:
The interaction between powerpoint and excel through Macabacus can be unreliable and I believe the excel functionalities via Macabacus can be advertised better and have clearer use cases.
Will Hupp review
Kommentare: excellent overall, however it can be slow at times compared to similar products (e.g., TTS)
Vorteile:
The amount of keyboard shortcuts / macros that are avaiable
Nachteile:
there is a lag when using some of the keyboard shortcuts that should be much quicker, e.g., font color toggle, number format toggle, etc.
Essential Tool
Vorteile:
My favorite feature is the link tracing feature which is multilayered. Makes data integrity review seamless.
Nachteile:
There can be bugs or times that it is for some reason not functioning correctly and I have to reset my computer or start a new file. Also, it has some interference with the Cap IQ plugin.
Good Platform Tool
Kommentare: Overall a super helpful tool
Vorteile:
Helps a ton with formatting data in excel and outputting
Nachteile:
Some of the features can be glitchy or not work with other plug ins
Big fan of Macabacus
Vorteile:
It is a huge time saver. Makes modeling and putting presentations together extremely easy.
Nachteile:
There is no introduction or guide for new users so I think there is probably lots of functionality that I am not aware of.

Vorteile:

Macabacus Review

Formula tracing is very useful and more effective than native Excel features. Customizable formatting shortcuts are extremely helpful while building financial models as well.

Similar to factset shortcuts and the user interface is intuititive
Nachteile:
Sometimes it will suddenly not become available and needs to be reinstalled
Time saver!

It’s saved me hundreds of hours over the years!
