"Delivering business value through an intuitive interface"

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Apliqo is built from its foundations with the end user experience in mind. It offers an intuitive interface, place on top of any type of business problem for planning and reporting.

It can integrate Excel input in the same front end, so end users can decide if they want to prepare data outside of the web-front end and load their results, or work directly in the tool. This combination allows users the freedom they need and desire to work in a way that suits them best.

The ideas behind the applications are always aimed towards ease of maintenance, a uniform look and feel and a do-it-yourself approach where IT involvement is limited to a minimum and business users can be autonoumous. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

It is a not a drag-and-drop tool for do it yourself dashboarding. But it is also not intended to be this. The target of Apliqo is rolling out applications to a group of end users that can get going without the need for extensive trainings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We mainly use Apliqo (both UX and FPM) for internal reporting. We use it for our day-to-day timesheets, our (financial) month end close, dashboarding and reporting.

The operational model is tracking our projects on a day-to-day basis, provinding an overview of budgets-to-date, time spent (hours/days), expenses tracking. Our users are entering information on a daily basis.

For the financial closing we are currently utilising the P&L/Balance sheet reporting layer across our region, based on input from various countries, coming from different data sources (accounting systems).

Everything gets harmonized through a common mapping to a uniform group layer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Frontend for Planning Analytics"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Apliqo UX is an amazing frontend when needing to roll out a planning, reporting and analytics model that was developed within Planning Analytics/TM1. It has some amazing features that the standard out-of-the-box application from IBM does not meet. With regular updates, amazing customer support, well designed additional features, and a focus on an application driven by user-experience, it is a MUST HAVE. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

It can be somewhat daunting moving from a Excel based view of interacting with Planning Analytics, to Apliqo UX. BUT this upskilling is totally worth it in the long run as your scripting and configuration skills become more and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Apliqo UX is great at taking the user on an application driven journey with various ways of representing financial data that is sourced from Planning Analytics. Majority of the standard features of Planning Analytics is available within Apliqo UX (like drilling, comments, spreading, calcualtion tracing, etc.), but it is the visually rich graphs that makes a massive difference when comparing UX to any other frontend.

"Take Your Planning, Reporting, and Decision-Making Application to the Next Level"

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Great use of industry best practices.

Business and process-oriented application management style

Ability to implement true enterprise-grade applications with low-effort maintenance

Flexibility to tailor the application to your specific needs

Easy to use the application therefore low risk of user adoption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

While the flexibility to tailor Apliqo to your specific needs is a powerful advantage, it can indeed become a lengthy and complex process if not managed properly. The wide range of customization options and numerous ways to approach tasks can make it easy to lose focus or extend timelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I've been implementing Apliqo as a consultant to a wide range of customers for more than 8 years.

I value the ease of implementation of advanced complex albeit easy-to-use applications. Most importantly the value Apliqo adds to the organizations with the ability to efficiently analyze, plan, and decide. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Experience"

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Apliqo is the best Frontend tool I have used for Planning Analytics (TM1). It is very intuitive and easy to use. But also has the depth and flexibility you would like it to have, the deeper you go and the more experienced you accumulate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

Formatting multiple columns in the same format might be somewhat tedious in my experience so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It solves a lot of issues I personally had with PAWs Frontend. Books are very inconsistent and is a hassle to work with multiple people at once. Widgets, Charts, tables etc. are very rigid and not as flexible and pretty as in Apliqo. It is more fun to work with and build from a power users and consultants perspective.

"Elevating TM1 Implementations with Advanced Integration and Usability"

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Apliqo UX is an indispensable tool for enhancing the capabilities of TM1 implementations. The software’s seamless integration with TM1 allows for real-time data access and manipulation, which is crucial for accurate and timely decision-making.

Apliqo UX excels in its ability to leverage TM1’s powerful OLAP engine while providing a user-friendly interface that simplifies complex data interactions. The drag-and-drop functionality and intuitive dashboard creation enable users to build and customize reports and visualizations with ease, without needing extensive technical knowledge.

One of the standout features is the advanced data modeling capabilities, which allow for the creation of sophisticated financial models and what-if scenarios. This is particularly beneficial for clients who require detailed forecasting and budgeting solutions. The ability to write back data to TM1 cubes directly from the Apliqo UX interface streamlines the data entry process and ensures data integrity.

Overall, Apliqo UX significantly enhances the functionality and usability of TM1, making it a powerful solution for any organization looking to maximize their investment in IBM TM1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

Some users find that there is a steep learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with TM1 or advanced data modelling concepts.

While the software offers extensive customisation options, these require time and expertise to fully utilise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Navigating and manipulating complex data structures in TM1 can be challenging for users without technical expertise. Apliqo UX offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that simplifies data interaction, making it accessible to a broader range of users.

Standard BI tools often lack the flexibility needed to tailor solutions to specific business requirements. Apliqo UX provides extensive customization options, allowing users to create tailored dashboards, reports, and visualizations that meet their unique needs.

Apliqo UX integrates seamlessly with TM1, enabling real-time data access and updates, which supports faster and more informed decision-making.

Creating sophisticated financial models and what-if scenarios can be complex and time-consuming. Apliqo UX enhances TM1’s data modeling capabilities, allowing for the creation of detailed forecasts and budgets with ease.

Apliqo UX integrates smoothly with existing TM1 environments, minimizing disruption and ensuring a cohesive workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A true corporate front end for Planning Analytics"

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

Apliqo UX allows you to build corporate level front end for your TM1/Planning Analytics applications.

It also also provide you with great interactions possibilities (Having links and tool tip within your report, allowing you to access supporting information...) and great visualisation options.

Like TM1, Apliqo UX allows you perform data entry in your application and see in real time the impact of your assumptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

There is so many options that it can seem a bit daunting to start. Thanks fully there is many demo asset highlighting the options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is unifying TM1/Planing Analytics interface and allow you to simply build great applications.

The variety of options allow great flexibility and sophistication.

Special mention to the wizard screens which allow you to build guided application for your users. They don't even need to know the concept of dimensions and cubes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Polished and flexible"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

One of the standout features of Apliqo UX is its flexibility. Users have full control over their UI environment, enabling tailored experiences that cater to individual or corporate needs. This adaptability allows for personalized layouts, images, and color schemes, ensuring that the software aligns perfectly with user or corporate preferences.

The layout is intuitively designed, resembling the flow of a book, guiding users through a step-by-step process logically. This enhances the overall user experience while allowing for freedom of movement in any direction, ensuring that users are never restricted.

For those familiar with TM1 Cube Viewers, developing widgets in Apliqo UX is incredibly straightforward. The intuitive design facilitates easy creation and customization of widgets.

Navigating through the applications is equally logical and seamless. Each section flows naturally into the next, akin to reading a book.

The responsiveness to the TM1 environment is truly impressive. Apliqo UX operates in real-time, allowing for immediate updates and interactions. This capability is crucial, as it enables write-back to TM1 directly within the software while instantly reflecting any changes made to the data in TM1 outside of Apliqo UX. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

While Apliqo UX offers many strengths, there are a few areas that could pose challenges for Developers, particularly those who may not have a technical background.

Knowledge of TM1 Required. As a developer is that users need a solid understanding of TM1 to fully leverage the software’s capabilities.

A working knowledge of MDX (Multidimensional Expressions) wold be needed for advanced widgets. Developers who are not aware or know MDX may find it difficult to create the widgets that they desire.

Some familiarity with CSS and JSON is necessary for customizing the UI to fit specific needs. While the software is designed to be user-friendly, those without some knowledge may struggle to make desired adjustments to the layout and design. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

5/5

What do you like best about Apliqo?

1. Easy to learn, ease of use.

2. Lots of flexible features can deal with complex use cases and requirements.

3. It's born to help TM1 consultants to transform the modeling data into visual insights and online colaboration workflow processes.

4. Based on the above three points, it's way easy and efficient to implement in you project, especially where there is a time pressure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apliqo?

1. There are too many features hiding in many different places. Sometimes you need time to find it and test it.
