Because the Excel Pivot Tables create terrible inperformant queries. Integration off Hichert SUCCESS Rules for graphical Presentation of business data. > > **Cons**: In the past it was sometimes a bit buggy. But I use it since 2005 and it became better and better. Some learning could be required. I have seen projects, where other software was selected, with less features, but easier to use. > > The main issue: Controllers want to use Excel, but Excel Pivot Tables create bad queries. Using XLCubed then can create much performant queries and much better reports, but they still can use Excel. ----- ### "Excel with XLcubed is the most powerful Reportingtool." — 5.0/5 > **Nurol** | *04 May 2022* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Breakouts, Grid Calculations, Interactions, Visuals > > **Cons**: From my point of view the evolution of XLCubed is amazing. There is no feature I would say is not necessary or difficult to use. > > Absolutely perfect. ----- ### "Flexible reporting and analysis powered by the financial department." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *06 May 2022* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like XLCubed because it helps us in the finance department to create high-quality analyses and evaluations. The Excel and web front-end meets the expectations of business users. The quality-assured database and IT setup meets the expectations of the IT department. > > **Cons**: Flexibility must be organized. It allows inexperienced users to go astray, sometimes late in the process. > > We are very satisfied with XLCubed. By using it over several years, we have achieved a high level of maturity in the reports. The continuous and innovative development of the product helps us to run a modern reporting system. ----- ### "XLCubed as an Excel add-in empowers our Accountants and Analysts." — 5.0/5 > **Fabiola** | *07 June 2022* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have found that because XLCubed is an Excel add-in which allows for a direct connection to the live data in our cubes, our Excel users feel empowered by the ability to create their own reports for Analysis and presentation. And, because XLCubed is intuitive, the learning curve is short. > > **Cons**: We are looking forward to there being training resources for U.S. customers, i.e., on-line classes, certifications, etc. > > The ability for users to build and own their reports has helped to push the concept of a single source of truth, replacing information housed in multiple Excel workbooks. Now users can query the cubes thru XLCubed for that source of truth, reducing the risk of a user working from outdated Excel workbooks. ----- ### "Easy, easy, easy - easy install, easy to create reports, easy to deploy, easy for users" — 5.0/5 > **Steve** | *27 April 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have found XLCubed to be well suited to most organisation sizes. While we implement against Microsoft Dynamics we have also successfully used XLCubed against all types of data. This includes hospitals, manufactures, distributors and financial services providers. > > **Cons**: Is not well suited to "live" reports but it doesn't pretend it can. > > Our solution is integrated with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central/NAV.
