Solver Ascend conference was helpful for this. > > Knowledgeable staff and quick response times. Looking forward Copilot V2 for variance analysis and charts. ----- ### "Poor BI360 Product and Solver support" — 1.0/5 > **Jacobus** | *2 December 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The dream: The capabilities presented and user capabilities to create and have reporting available. > > **Cons**: Daily running problems - If report data is not available or only running the product is of no use. Partners for installation clearly define Solver support as problematic to deliver. Now I see that all reviews are specifying this. > > Daily run errors, reports not available due to running and always patches to be uploaded to deal with errors. Services and support due to USA and SA different time zones non existing leaving the user frustrated. I am sorry that we have selected this product as our data reporting product. ----- ### "Some growing pains, but overall the best solution to streamline our reporting and budgeting" — 4.0/5 > **Brett** | *22 August 2017* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Reporting function, flexibility of product, customer support, and the ability to streamline our existing reports and expand upon our "old" reports and create new reports to satisfy our budget and departmental managers. > > **Cons**: We had a Planning issue where our LID was disappearing from our Data Warehouse. We're not sure what caused this but this resulted in many frustrated customers during our budget input process. Solver has been unable to replicate the issue for us, which is frustrating. We have lost a bit of trust in our planning process. > > We are happy to be attending Focus as it gives us an opportunity to learn more about the Bi360 product and network with other users. ----- ### "My opinion of BI360" — 4.0/5 > **Karen** | *23 August 2017* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the publisher and the fact the report is excel based. It's easy to format and give it the look I want. I also love the ability to schedule my reports to run when I want them to run. > > **Cons**: Something I've noticed that can be time consuming is the switching between design mode and run mode. When designing or modifying a report, switching from design to run to see how the report looks and then switching back to design again can become cumbersome. > > BI360 is a good product. I'm very happy to see new and improved features added. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/2168/solver-bi360?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/2168/solver-bi360) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
