"Spreadsheet Server installation in Citrix"
What do you like best about Spreadsheet Server by insightsoftware?

After the software is setup and configured, it works relatively well and can pull data from SAP (in our case) faster than other solution we have in place. Tested using Excel 2013 and 2016 64bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spreadsheet Server by insightsoftware?

Configuration requires a separate server for segment lists and XML configs. Typically, if there is an error with pulling the data through SS, it is not feasible to fix it without calling the support.In order to keep track of users, I had to build not only AD groups but also create a spreadsheet with license numbers as it is required to re-use licenses if users are added/removed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Complicated but works"
What do you like best about Spreadsheet Server by insightsoftware?

Once a Spreadsheet Server report is created it is a great, easy and effective way to pull GL balances from our financial system. I can also take one that is created, copy it then edit it to make a new report. For me, it is a quick way to get balances to multiple GL accounts at one time. Sometimes I use it for journal entries, sometimes it's for Overhead Reporting, and sometimes it's just to validate other reports. It's very useful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Spreadsheet Server by insightsoftware?

Within my organization, Spreadsheet Server does not work for our balance sheet accounts as it only pulls the current month balance and balance sheet reports should be a cumulative balance. Of course we can work around this; it's just more work.

Also, the initial creation of a spreadsheet server report is complicated. The formulas are long! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Dawn Christine Jonckowski of Spreadsheet Server by...

Feedback like this is invaluable to us in enhancing and strengthening the Spreadsheet Server offering! We would love to help address these items for you! Please contact customersuccess@globalsoftwareinc.com

At times it can be very slow when trying to refresh or update the information. Also, if you are not familiar with the formulas it can be a bit confusing. For the most part it has only been a benefit for our company. Overall, I still recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
