### "Good but Expensive" — 3.0/5

> 
> **Pros**: Creates a decent dashboard that captures all elements of a budget
> 
> **Cons**: Cost is too significant when you want a customized report.
>

### "We gained faster reporting and analysis" — 4.0/5

> **Benny** | *15 January 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a better user interface than the native TM1 software.
> 
> **Cons**: We were hoping to have Single Sign On right out of the gate but owing to our specific environment in our company, it did not go smoothly during implementation and we needed to push it to the next phase.
> 
> Limelight is adding tremendous value to our organization. Users find it easier to adopt the system and we now have a centralized place for budgets, expenses, and reports. Information is so much more readily available to our senior management.

### "Excellent customer service but difficulties in modeling a complex workforce" — 4.0/5

> **Brittany** | *02 July 2024* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Responsiveness of customer service and data analytics / coding team
> 
> **Cons**: Difficulty in modeling a non-traditional workforce
> 
> I appreciated Limelight's ability to apply logic to benefits, merit increases and bonuses. I found the customer service team to be extremely helpful and responsive. We struggled to model a complex workforce with numerous seasonal positions working in both the beginning and end of the fiscal year. Exports of reports \&amp; templates to excel required manipulation to obtain the necessary information.
