Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable and reliable.""Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data.""The solution can handle a large volume of data.""The solution is scalable.""I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features.""Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance.""It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases.""It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."

"The way Salesforce Einstein Analytics is structured in terms of the work assignments and the user profile is very good.""It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need.""It's scalable.""The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools.""The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world.""The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features""Transparency is the most valuable feature of this solution.""Salesforce Einstein Analytics is a simplified CRM. It's integration is good."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness.""They should improve the solution's performance.""Essbase has a programming language, and it has a couple of functions to do forecasting, however, their feature set for that is not that good.""I would like to see an integration with application performance management and a version control management tool.""The initial setup could be simplified.""The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved.""It's an expensive product to use.""The initial setup is pretty complex."

"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets.""They can provide more end-user customizations. There should be the possibility for the end-users to change some elements in the interface. I have a way of doing my job. My colleague may have his own way of doing his job. If I ask for a change, it'll change for everyone. It'll be good to have some end-user personalizations. I can't see many in Salesforce right now.""Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data.""They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope.""When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance.""The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms.""All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports.""The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
