"Reporting made easier"
What do you like best about Solver?

I love that this syncs to our accounting software daily and we are able to pull and create reports for all our communities in one report/file that would otherwise take us several hours to create. I also appreciate that once we have taken time to create a report, we can pull that for every month, community, etc. that we need! We are in Solver daily to pull the items that we need. This is also a huge component for our budget. The ease of use for budgeting is terrific! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The linking of spreadsheets can be difficut sometimes due to the nature of how solver works. We are usually able to figure it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solver Review - Cavaliers Holdings"
What do you like best about Solver?

Solver’s user-friendly interface and customizable reporting features are the most helpful aspects for me. The ability to easily create, modify, and distribute reports allows for more efficient data analysis and decision-making. Additionally, Solver’s integration with various data sources streamlines the process, making it easier to consolidate information and gain insights quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

One of the least helpful aspects of Solver is its occasional complexity in setup and configuration. While it offers powerful features, getting everything optimized and customized to fit specific business needs can sometimes be time-consuming, especially for users without technical expertise. Additionally, some of the advanced features require a steeper learning curve to fully utilize.

The main downsides of using Solver include the initial implementation effort and the occasional difficulty in troubleshooting issues. Integrations with other systems, while valuable, can sometimes lead to compatibility challenges or slowdowns. Additionally, depending on the version or package, certain advanced features might come with higher costs, which could limit accessibility for smaller teams or organizations with tighter budgets.

"Database backed Excel functions"
What do you like best about Solver?

Simplicity. If you use Excel you'll be ok Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Some limitations in functionality but very few and largely from inefficiencies on the data side of our ERP. Has caused some good rework of our account and dimension structures to get the reporting right. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very useful but has its quirks"
What do you like best about Solver?

Solver has helped us completely transform our budgeting process. Once we understood how report and input forms are created and managed it has pretty much allowed us to see the information we need to see quickly and gave us the ability to share those reports with those who need them the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

It definitely has its quirks. If we are using two different input forms and they are not programmed to save in the exact same way we end up with a lot of duplicated data. Lesson learned on our end. Also, when working with Solver employees to help us figure out why a form isn't working the way we think it should be, they are not always the most responsive.

"Solver Experience"
What do you like best about Solver?

Ease of report customization, Excel based reports.

Integration setup is simple to modify when adding/modifying accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

When having to print to distribute I would like to stack my reports and send to PDF in a packet instead of having to save each individually.

I would like data updated to run faster or have live data link.

Delay in support from our BC partner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
