(Original )Information
What do you like best about Acterys?

We implemented last year Acterys as our New Planning Tool in my company. The technology from Acterys together with the Power BI package it gave us an excellent environment for our current and future Planning process.

The Modeller is an awesome tool to create and maintain data models in an easy way and without knowledge of SQL. Planning with the Acterys visuals is a great experience, and constantly new releases are bringing to the end user an experience even better.

It's easy to implement and use and also you have a great customer support, I think we took the right decision going with Acterys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

We found out that features were missing when we started working with Acterys, but they tried to cover them with new releases.

Just to give an example, we missed an easy way to create comments with MATRIX gen 2 PBI visual. With one of the releases beginning of 2024 they covered this feature and that was incredibly good.

They are trying to make the Planning experience every time a better experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acterys solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allowed us to continue our path into "Cloudification" deleting the boundaries of old on-premises software.

Inefficient data modeling and planning: Modeller is a user-friendly tool for building and maintaining data models.

Limited planning capabilities: Combination of Acterys and Power BI offers a wonderful planning experience with lots of functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

Acterys helped Urban Energy do build a whole tool for the Company. It allows us to track advancement of the projects, profitability, budgets, AP and AR. They are aggregating datas from a lot of different tools that we are using (QBO, time tracking, Microsoft Project, etc) in one place so we can compare datas and have a live and always updated view of where we stand. The implementation is very smooth and easy and they are answering questions/concerns in no time. It changes the daily operation of the company radically and we saved at least 10hrs/week of manual work. I can not recommend them enough, it's worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Honestly, nothing. I wish I found them before! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acterys solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Acterys we were not sure data were up to date, with Acterys we are now sure it's all up to date every day so you're sure to look at the correct picture.

They build our cashflow tool so we can do different scenarios, that changes the way we can plan and around our AR and AP.

They also automated a lot of the manual work Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

Acterys is a very user friendly tool that allows its users to navigate it with ease. Anyone who is exposed with data and financials can easily catch-up with the tool's built in features.

From a developer's standpoint:

- You don't need to do too much code when implementing ETL/ELT processes for your organization.

- Acterys is able to connect to most CRM tools and data sources (eg. Xero, Quickbooks, etc.)

- You can implement RLS or PLS with ease!

From an SLT standpoint:

- The writeback feature it provides in Power BI allows you to do FP&A or xP&A in realtime

- Device authentication and IP whitelisting. Acterys makes sure that only you and the people that you trust can have access to your data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

As of the moment I don't have any conerns regarding Acterys.

Would love to see more default data sources that Acterys has in store-- currently you have to manually connect data sources not associated with Acterys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acterys solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helping me automate my flow of data from source to reporting with minimal coding needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

The company I work for needed a Gantt chart that best showed the parent child relationship hierarchy. Acterys Gantt chart was a huge hit with our leadership, and was exactly what they were looking for. When there came time for an urgent need to have the Gantt chart for an important meeting; The Acterys team worked around the clock to support our team to ensure we had it up and running in time. It was not an easy endevor based on the complexity of our system backend- but Acterys really showed up and helped work it all out in time. We were so grateful!

What do you dislike about Acterys?

We really like the Gantt chart; really the only thing our team needs at this time. No downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
