What do you like best about Acterys?

Excel and Power BI integration and excellent performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Default data warehouse refresh from Xero is once per day... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acterys:

I tried the rest now using the best...honestly!!

I've spent several years messing around with Xero reporting in one form or another (native, third party, and the various Excel integration apps) - all had good points, but also ultimately proved inadequate - lack of flexibility and serious performance issues...3-4 hours to pull data in to Excel with multiple error messages to clear was the final straw before I found Acterys...

I had looked at it previously, but data warehouses sound like it was for enterprises not small companies like us (10 staff)...but it most definitely is for us - a little more expensive than some of the other options, but as well as complete Excel integration it offers simple Power BI integration as well...and the performance is really good...

I'm still converting all my Excel reports, and not really started on PowerBI yet, but absolutely no hiccups so far and really pleased...finally feel like I've found a platform that can give me the Xero reporting I need!!

Oh and the support from Martin/Michael has also been responsive and top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Acterys is helping to deliver accurate, detailed, current management reporting which is helping with business decisions, priorities, cashflow, performance analysis etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

It takes Power BI to another level, with all of the capabilities to enable finance transformation and business partnering - Scenario modeling, What if simulations, Budgeting/planning/forecasting, workflow all within familiar working environments such as excel (without the bad) and power bi.

Priced at a fraction of legacy vendors without compromising on capabilities.

Built entirely on Microsoft standards, leveraging incumbent MS technologies - power bi, microsoft office, azure, power apps, flow and teams.

Pre-built apps delivers outputs out of the box for popular accounting & ERP packages with the ability to customise to emulate their exact business processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

The usual challenges with high growth software companies...documentation could be improved but has made a marked improvement lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

Direct integration to granular data, providing a single source of truth to drive informed decision-making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Limitation (currently) to a few data sources. Would like to see integration with a broader set of data sets: from Point of Sales, Enterprise Resource Planning systems, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acterys:

Send an email to Martin, the founder and CEO. He is extremely responsive and don't be surprised if he delivers your first training session - that's the kind of customer touch that will make Acterys lead in the FP&A space Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having a single source of truth to analyze historical trends of our clients, and provide better budget forecasting, planning and investment structuring. We are able to make better capital allocation decisions for our clients by having full visibility, in near-real time, the performance and health of their businesses.

What do you like best about Acterys?

I was most attracted to Acterys as our solution for budgeting, planning, and cash flow reporting, for two primary reasons: 1) the cost is very reasonable, and 2) their system was specifically designed to work with Excel and Power BI (both programs we already had part of our Microsoft Office Suite). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Main challenge for me in getting started with Acterys was not already knowing how to use Power BI. I liken it to getting an Excel template, but not knowing how to use Excel. As I have been doing personal training on Power BI, I am growing to appreciate the design of the Acterys system increasingsly more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acterys:

Managility staff are great to work with! Only thing I could have done better on the front end was to draw out more clearly my expectations for the ending deliverables. Because I did not, we started out with a different understanding of the end goal. That being said, when I realized we were going a bit off target, they worked graciously with me to make sure my needs were met. To save them any wasted time, and to minimize any delays with your implementation, my best advice is to clearly draw out what you want to accomplish - i.e. what do you want your reports to look like, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Acterys helps us eliminate problems experienced using Excel spreadsheets for budgeting (too much room for human error with broken links or errors in formulas). Main benefit so far has been that I can get a cash flow projection report quickly based on actuals-to-date, and then looking forward with either my original budget or updated projection numbers.

What do you like best about Acterys?

After integrating Acterys to our system, it was very easy to obtain figures from our accounting software (Xero) for reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Though the Acterys is great, it takes quite a while to get familiar with and cannot be done so alone. Specialized support is much needed throughout the learning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some figures that were overlooked before can be easily spotted on Acterys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Acterys?

A data-oriented solution that utilizes the best of Microsoft stack (SQL Server, SSAS, PowerBI, Excel) with the Acterys proprietory write back that creates a robust CPM tool that also has the flexibility of Excel along with ease to find and transferable skillset. Apart from short deployment time, most Excel power users can build and deploy with minimal IT skillset. Being able to utilize PowerBI full stack opens up the opportunity to provide users with feedback as they are contributing to get better forecast and drives budget ownership Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acterys?

Growing pains. They have been responsive to fulfilling feature requests, which also means keeping models up to date with change. It would be nice to have Corporate Cloud deployment options Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Acterys:

Being able to deploy in Corporate Cloud architecture along with plug and play standard models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Shortening the feedback loop to get everyone on the same page for budgets and forecasts. Working towards implementing integrated planning from different silo forecast. Also, the skill set requirement being platform specific instead of being tool specific makes finding resources easier and solutions inexpensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
