XLReporting

Highly configurable solution for reporting and budgeting

Kommentare: Our company has now become an implementation partner of XLReporting. We build everything with it, from budgeting solutions to dashboards. And I definitely recommend XLReporting to every Excel professional / Information Consultant who wants to expand his toolbox. But also for organizations that are looking for a reporting or budgeting solution that stays close to Excel without those disadvantages.

Vorteile:

With XLReporting you can create online spreadsheet models. And with that you can build solutions while retaining the knowledge and logic that the customer put into his old Excel model. It is wonderful to see how you can separate data and logic from a spreadsheet. And use that data again in an online dashboard. And that in ONE application!

Nachteile:

XLReporting is very configurable. That means a steeper learning curve in the beginning. But in the end you don't run into the limitations of a traditional software.

Versatile software that lets you build budgets and forecasts according to your own rules

Kommentare: We very happily use the software to build models and reports for our customers. Requests for new features are always positively discussed with the developers of the software, leading to a constantly improving tool.

Vorteile:

Lets you use data from every source you want, thereby enabling reports that provide much more insight into your business than having only the bare financial figures.

Nachteile:

Nothing really, I enjoyed the learning process which took quite a bit of time, as there is so much you can do.

I suspect XLR can do anything you want

Kommentare: XLR gives our client a tool to collaborate on budgeting, rather than it living in a giant spreadsheet used by one person at a time.

Vorteile:

XLR is highly configurable. The XLR team quickly understood our request, based on our existing spreadsheet model, and built a pretty-damn-good proof of concept. The XLR model allows our client to budget by donor and by grantee which is important to their team's understanding of what's going on in the budget. The separation of data and logic means that budget end users can't break the formulas/structure - everybody wins!

Nachteile:

I find the reporting a bit difficult to master - eg. where I think I should be able to duplicate a report and change the "Contact' target to another group, I get no data, so it feels a bit mysterious to me. That said, XLR have been supportive in this regard and we've done some good online problem solving sessions, when we have been able to coordinate a time.

Fuud AB

If you are not familiar with the functions it takes a while to be able to create your own reports.

Excellent spreadsheet editor

Vorteile:

XLReporting directly integrated with Excel, reports are really beneficial.

Nachteile:

Licensing price which is based on per feature & per user based is quite high.
