Great in-the-cloud planning engine
What do you like best about the product?
In memory, calculation is fast and multi-dimensional. It is also API supported platform. Moreover, many use cases are starting with FP&A to revenue recognition.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's synchronous system instead of an Async system. This makes developer life harder since the developer needs to factor this when doing multiple import and export jobs carefully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving multi-dimensional calculations. The most significant benefit is everything is in memory. So when the formula changes, everything gets recalculated within a second.
