Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

Pros:

I love the simplicity and efficiency! It makes reporting and budgeting easier for my clients. Also, ad hoc reporting is an easy way for clients to view their data.

Cons:

I would say that my least favorite part of Solver is the occasional outages for the integrations/jobs.

Experience with Solver

I really enjoy Solver, and it has helped tremendously with my organization's annual budget planning process.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

You can create any report and forms that you would like in Solver so it is powerful and flexible. In addition, you can also create modules that are not GL specific to keep track and store data.

Cons:

The Solver Planning is complicated and not easy to learn and understand. It requires a lot of time to learn on how to create a form from end user perspective. I usually prefer our Solver consultant to create or modify forms for me.

Reasons for switching to Solver

The platform is not flexible. The formats are fixed and can not be changed.

Pricey and difficult to use

Functionality

Pros:

It integrated well with our ERP system. Once the financial statements we created were finalized, it was easy to run them monthly and save a lot of time producing our monthly financial statements.

Cons:

If you have intercompany transactions, the "live" database isn't able to report more than one company at a time. This means you have to use the static database, which they recommended we only update once per day. On a tight close, sometimes you catch and make changes the same day as you're producing financials and this can be cumbersome. This was extremely unclear to us before we bought this software. Additionally, I am an ADVANCED Excel user. I am the company's go-to for Excel questions. So imagine my surprise when I struggled helplessly for hours trying to figure out the Excel version of the tool! It is by no means intuitive. We actually had to pay to bring in a consultant to train us on how to use it because the company's 3 divisional controllers (myself included) couldn't create a financial statement despite reading on Solver's website and watching tutorials.

Pros:

Ability to customize reports and the new AI features. They have a new AI upgrade called Copilot 2 that should make FP&A much easier.

Cons:

Past bugs that have been resolved for several years now. Solver migrated to the cloud several years back and has a much improved product since.

Reasons for choosing Solver

The forecasting and budgeting features were more advanced than the alternative product we reviewed.

Solver makes reporting come alive

I have learned so much in the short time of my use of the program. I am very much looking forward to applying the non-financial reporting aspects to my organization.

Functionality

Pros:

Bringing information together to make it more clear and actionable. The learning curve has been steep (for me), but at the same time all the pieces come together well.

Cons:

I am still discerning how much of any issue I have is user error or something else. There are plenty of times when a simple data error causes something not work. I am still learning about that.
