Locks down month end reporting and recognises revenue automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The company is big, make that MASSIVE, on marketing and that always worries me. I attended their Subscribed Event and nearly vomited on the sickly sweet "we're so excited about our new launch" and then proceeded to announce nothing materially interesting to us.
Here are some more specifics:
- Revenue recognition rules are pretty basic
- It doesn't deal with Currency conversion
- Usage uploads work only after 5-10 attempts with no obvious reason why and then get recorded as £0 recurring revenue (despite recurring)
- OneTime products look clunky on invoices (they get given a single date as the time period, which is wrong) and clutter the list of subscriptions (which ones are active vs OneTime?)
- If you are using SFDC it can't report historic metrics like MRR
- No data uploader Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
