What do you like best about Acterys?

Quick and relatively affordable solution to a data warehouse integrated with could financials and Power BI without requiring specialist knowledge of either platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

To develop additional/more advanced reporting models requires some knowledge of Power BI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We tried a number of integrated reporting products over 12 months but none could handle our reporting requirements of multiple tracking categories and multiple entities. A data warehouse with Power BI visualisations would be the solution but such an IT project would cost $$$. Came across Acterys whose ready-to-go data warehouse integrated with Xero plus pre-built reporting templates is an awesome solution. Up & running in minutes and forms a great base to build on which we are now doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

Acterys has been relentless in their efforts to deliver a full-featured development flow for achieving complex planning/budgeting needs within Power BI. The fact that Acterys write-back features are API based provides customers an easy way to get started, achieve scale, and provide data modeling features that may be too costly to achieve without their solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Not much to dislike! Just like Power BI, Acterys has a learning curve... but easily translatable with a core understanding of BI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Of all the planning tools built within Power BI - look no further! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Planning, forecasting, and budgeting capabilities that are not the strong suit of Power BI. Bringing these workflows directly into an enterprise BI tool has delivered efficiency and time savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

The tool is very easily configurable.

Conceptually having a split across the modelling environment and front end makes it easy to understand and explain to business and IT stakeholders.

Anyone who has used or is familiar with mutlidimensional modelling will take to the modeller quickly and the native integration with PowerBI improves user adoption across delivery cycle.

Having writeback and analytics capability nested in the same window goes a long way to differentiate Acterys against other CPM tools that I'm familiar with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Building a tool that leverages an enterprise grade framework like Microsofts Azure Service and PowerBI stack comes with a level of limitations native to the underlying technology. There are some inherited limitations in Acterys owing to Microsoft idiosyncracies around how users are configured and how custom visualisation are handled in PowerBI.

Once Microsoft handles these issues, it will positively impact Acterys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Clients that require the ability to adjust budgets, forecasts and instanly view the outputs of these scenarios alongside actuals is a key consideration for our clients. The ability of the tool to handle this securely within Microsofts native and well understood wrappers make the implementation and maintanence of the tool a breeze.
