"New to Solver and looking forward to continuing to learn it's full capabilities"
What do you like best about Solver?

There is a lot of customization. We have an incredibily difficult report that has routinely been created manually. The Solver team has worked hard to integrate our ERP system with Solver to customize and create this report automatically. This is a significant enhancement for us and improves efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The implementation process has been very slow. The work has been challenging, but we have been paying for a tool that we have not been able to fully use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Game-Changer for my Work Efficiency"
What do you like best about Solver?

I love the data warehouse functionality coupled with the ease of use of the Excel interface. I was already proficient in Excel so I didn't need to learn a whole new program to build reports with the data we have in Solver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The initial setup was rocky for us becuase the Solver pros didn't understand our data and how we use it, and we didn't initially understand the ins-and-outs of how Solver is set up. Now that we understand the program we are making changes to set it up the best way for us but it is more difficult to make those changes after the fact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Solution for our Budgeting and Financial Reporting Needs"
What do you like best about Solver?

We purchased licenses with Sage Intacct and contracted with Solver to compliment/round out reporting functionality. From the moment we first saw the demo, we knew the solution would fit our needs. The product is flexible enough to integrate with our extremely complex build (we have over 20 entities) and has streamlined our reporting process. The Report Designer allows us to meet the diverse needs of all our users – finance staff, executives, and Board members. Solver has changed the way we can view our data and our system’s financial standing.

The Budget module, with highly customized templates designed for our needs, is amazingly flexible and efficient. We no longer need to manually build, edit, blend, and upload multiple Excel workbooks. Now, individual business users can input their own department data into one central template. The smaller agency budgets flow seamlessly into the overall budget – saving time, reducing errors, and providing a clear view from top to bottom.

We are grateful to have highly skilled, responsive integration and support experts who can hear our needs and quickly create and fine tune reports and budget templates. Without their expertise we would not be able to leverage the full power of the Solver platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

We love Solver! We have nothing negative to report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Rolling forecasts are changing how we do business"
What do you like best about Solver?

Sophisticated reports and input templates can be created by non-programmers. Our rolling forecast input templates have vastly improved the budgeting process for our franchises (over 100). Support has always been responsive and very helpful. The incremental feature improvements with each release keep adding functionality that is beneficial to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

We have over 100 entities on Dynamics Business Central on premise, and this makes it impossible for us to use the BC connector. We are able to use the SQL Server connector, and it works well, but it is not real-time integrated, since we have to push data from our BC system to a data warehouse and then import into Solver. The on premise gateway is unstable and cannot be parallelized. Hopefully our update issues will be resolved, once we get our warehouse into Azure SQL.

I find that reports run slower and slower over time, until a Solver update/release, after which it goes faster again. I assume this has to do with rebuilding indexes or something like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solver is OKAY."
What do you like best about Solver?

Once a report is set up, it generally runs without problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

The support is not great. The training is not great. The conference is just a big sales pitch. It's glitchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"SOLVER is saving what is turning out to be a terrible ERP migration frm Microsoft GP to Microsoft BC"
What do you like best about Solver?

It created a solution for our financial reporting issues which out of the box Business Central didn't have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solver?

Nothing; it is very well designed. The software add on is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
