What do you like best about Acterys?

My experience with Acterys has been nothing short of exceptional. As the VP Analytics at a large distributor, I selected Acterys as a solution for specific use cases back in 2019, and it has continued to exceed my expectations. Acterys is a game-changing business intelligence tool that simplifies data modeling and introduces the powerful feature of Power BI write-back.

The user-friendly interface of Acterys made building data models effortless, even for someone like me without extensive technical knowledge. The Power BI write-back functionality opened up a world of possibilities, enabling real-time collaboration and data interaction directly within Power BI reports and dashboards. We utilized this feature for labor and transportation resource planning across 350 distribution centers in the US, with almost 500 daily users. The solution seamlessly integrated data entry and analysis for improved efficiency.

What truly impressed me about Acterys was its versatility across various business cases. From financial planning and forecasting to sales performance management and inventory optimization, Acterys provided comprehensive solutions. We were able to streamline processes, enhance data accuracy, and gain deeper insights for more informed decision-making.

Throughout our experience, Acterys delivered exceptional customer support. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to ensuring a seamless experience. They actively sought feedback and implemented improvements based on our suggestions, demonstrating their dedication to customer satisfaction and continuous enhancement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

There isn't much that can be said as a negative. When we started with the tool in 2019, it was evolving. It has become significantly more polished and mature since then, and the latest release (V 22.2) is simply fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data Modeling: Acterys simplifies the process of building data models, making it easier for users, even those without extensive technical knowledge, to connect data sources and establish relationships. The solution significantly reduced the complexity and costs.

Power BI Write-Back Collaboration: Power BI write-back is a compelling feature, allowing users to input and modify data directly within Power BI reports and dashboards. Creates a great user experience and helps with adoption.

Financial and Operational Planning and Forecasting: We have used Acterys as a comprehensive financial planning and forecasting solution. It made capturing planning inputs and conducting what-if analyses much more straightforward than previous methods. The tool is excellent for all types of use cases, whether sales planning and forecasting, quota planning, S&OP, Inventory planning, labor planning, resource planning, capital planning, or any use case.

What do you like best about Acterys?

The best feature was as-advertised data connection to Xero - served up our Xero data in Power BI so that we could access and work with our data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

The initial sync was fairly manual, requiring user-entered six-month date ranges - but I believe this was a Xero limitation, not an Acterys limitation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The primary benefit to our group is the automated refresh of our accounting data for multiple companies - avoiding the run report>export>copy/paste process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
