One the most Helpful reporting tools I have found

The team at Cosmos did an excellent job of explaining the setup and how to use the program. Any questions that we had during implementation they immediately took the time to show and explain the solutions

PROS

The ease of setting up new reports. It is very straight forward and makes sense

CONS

Hard to say as I really don't have any negative about the program

Reasons for switching to Cosmos

We found the other product to be extremely difficult to learn and almost alwasy had to get help to understand any of the reports we wanted to build

Great reporting format, excellent support.

Excellent. In a world of do-it-yourself support, it's very refreshing to find a product that includes quick, complete, easy to access and personable support. Both the onboarding process and transitioning to full use of Cosmos has been very smooth.

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).

Reason 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.

Cosmos Review

Overall, my experience has been great. [sensitive content hidden] has helped us out tremendously and built great reports for us to use.

PROS

Cosmos is extremely user friendly and easy to maneuver.

CONS

Building and coding the reports is my least favorite. Having to add new accounts to each report, making sure not to miss a report because it will be off.

Reasons for switching to Cosmos

Solomon which was not an option on the drop down, but it was no longer going to have upgrades and was a very old program.

Cosmos Review - Green Key Resources - Accounting Manager Perspective

Exceptionally well as we were able to successfully set up individual reports in Cosmos for our TB and P&L; however, we are still in the build out phase and will be implementing a packet based approach to our financials in the coming months.

PROS

The customization and customer support for assistance since it is a new type of software language most individuals are not used to.

CONS

The time it takes to refresh the Pipeline and produce new reports.

Reason for choosing Cosmos

Price and recommendation from the Halden Group during our Dynamics BC implementation.

Reasons for switching to Cosmos

We moved from Dynamics SL to Dynamics BC which is part of Office 365.

DWF Review

Very pleasant and wonderful. Any time I need help [sensitive content hidden] will help weather it's on a call with me or in his own time. We have created so very unique and difficult reports and I appreciate his help.

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.
