    Cons:
    The data can only be updated once per day. When running a report, it is not pulling real time data.

    Pros:
    There are some great out of the box reports, but also the support that was given to help develop specific reports that were needed for my companies was fantastic. Cosmos helped so much in building the reports and showing me how to create reports as well. Reports are clear and easy to run.
    Cons:
    It was a confusing at first when learning how to create reports, but some of that is probably because we needed specific reporting that is not normally how people set up their financial reports

    We had another report writer when we converted to Business Central in 2023. We learned about Cosmos in 2024 and we will never look back. The people like [sensitive content hidden] understand our needs and is able to translate it to BC language. This skill is hard to find and he ais a huge asset for Cosmos.

    Pros:
    Works well with our cloud-based Business Central accounting software; works for both our PC and Mac users. Report writing is straightforward; there's a learning curve of course, but support is readily available with quick turnaround. Very user-friendly interface for our report consumers. Quick set up, easy login, most reports run very quickly and can be run concurrently. Scheduling function is great.
    Cons:
    Our Cosmos database updates overnight. We can do an unscheduled refresh, but that takes roughly 45-60 minutes. Working with day-old data has been a little bit of an adjustment vis-a-vis our old reporting system. For 80% of our reports, the data is fine. For month end work, we're finding ways to adjust or work around the updates. There are a few reporting functions that I'd like to see -- I know that the Cosmos team is working on these enhancements (e.g. report option dropdowns, hiding of rows and columns).

    Reasons for choosing Cosmos

    Our team at Business Central advocated switching entirely to Power BI. While we still may use Power BI through Cosmos, the Power BI reports were limited and just didn't meet our company's reporting needs. With Cosmos, I can produce simple reports or complicated, multi-worksheet reports that integrate manual data.

    Reasons for switching to Cosmos

    Jet did not support our Mac users in a cloud environment. We were stuck with using a very expensive remote server setup, and the reports didn't run well.

    Pros:
    I really like that once I have the report created and set on a schedule, I don't have to think about it again. It is nice to not manually do these reports every day.
    Cons:
    I am still learning a ton about cosmos and really about BC, so I think the most difficult thing for me now is that I can't fully create a report myself without needing some extra help from Cosmos.

    Reasons for switching to Cosmos

    We switched for a couple reasons.1. Jet reports was very slow and bogged down excel2. With Cosmos I am able to get training, with Jet reports I didn't get any training.3. Cosmos is much more user friendly.4. With Jet reports I had difficulty being able to utilize basic excel functions with the jet functions, cosmos I can still use the excel functions just fine.

    I appreciate the flexibility of Cosmos and that really any data in BC can get pulled into Cosmos and reported on. The scheduled reports is a great feature as well, rather than having someone have to run these reports manually.
    Cons:
    The con-side of the flexibility of Cosmos and ability to report on any BC data is that it can sometimes be challenging to find the right table/field in Cosmos, even when you know what the table/field is in BC that you're looking for. That being said, the Cosmos team has always been willing to offer its assistance in finding the right table/field when building reports.
