4 years into the Targit install and couldn't be happier
The ability to apply granular security down to the dimension level. Ease of connection multiple datasources.
CONSthe internal formula engine for creating calculated measures on the client side is somewhat complicated.

TARGIT BI
Business KPIs are a breeze with TARGIT. I’m able to build a report which can be refreshed in seconds with updated data anytime I log in.
PROSTARGIT was imposed upon me by HQ. As a sales opps manager I’m reposonsible for all sales reporting. TARGIT is an extremely powerful tool allowing for data manipulation in several different ways. From reports to charts to maps you can produce an infinite number of KPIs in seconds which allow for others to easily digest the data. TARGIT connects to CRM and ERP software so users can pull data from just about any other platform they use. The cross tabs are interactive so filtering and drill downs are extremely easy.
CONSThe only con I might have is the limited user resources there is. TARGIT is not the easiest tool to become accustom to but once you have it down it’s limitless.

Good for Reports, bad for 24x7 Dashbaords
Targit creates reports with ease. Dashboard /storyboards are a great tool. However they have included a Webserver (the Touchserver) that is not stable. If you want a iPad/SmartTV to show a Dashboards 24x7 without user interference, forget it. Multiple times a day you need to manually refresh. Customer support could not find anything (or was not willing to find anything) and suggested to work with PC and a native Targit client. That works however the costs are greater and there is an extra component which I really do not need.
PROSGood reporting, anyone who understands the data can create something usefull
CONSTouchserver is a dreadfull thing, either stop selling it or fix it

Instantly impressive piece of software
When I show Targit to users, they're wowed instantly by its usefulness. The ability to click on an element of one object to dynamically filter other objects on a page allows me to build tremendously useful reports that I could not do with any of the other applications that we evaluated. The degree of control you have over who sees what information is as granular as you could want, yet the interface for maintaining these controls is incredibly simple and easy to use. We've heard nothing but good things from our users, and more people ask for a license all the time.
PROSThe breadth of data sources it can use is impressive. The software is super fast and easy to use. It's easy to train new users and to manage who sees what information. Building a new report and disseminating it will frequently take me less than 10 minutes compared to at least an hour using SQL and Excel. The latest version (2017) has some new charts and a much cleaner interface than the 2015 version.
CONSSome of the add-ons cost more than I think they should, and some ought to just be included with the software IMO. There are a couple quirks about how data labels are displayed in charts, but it affects a small percentage of cases and is probably only noticed by a handful of people. Building certain types of objects and reports is a little more cumbersome or counter-intuitive than I'd like, but not so much so that I won't use them because it doesn't change the experience for the end user.

Terrific BI Value
The Targit customer service, training, and technical team are very helpful and responsive. The product continues to improve.
PROSFrom a value perspective, you will not find a better performing tool for the $$$. Our dashboard users can quickly view information and drill for more detail through a web client and our power users can generate insightful analysis quickly that can easily be presented via dashboards or PDF slides. Once the initial implementation is complete, the cost to support is negligible.
CONSThe biggest drawback of Targit – really the same for all BI platforms – it is not Excel. If you have data integrity problems, you have to address it in the source system.

Targit Bi Reporting and Dashboards
We have used Tagrit for Executive, Director and Finance KPI dashboards. Works very well and provides up-to-date KPI reporting across 200 companies. Drill down allows for detailed analysis once a issue is question is identified. We have it so that the reporting is company wide but can be drilled down to a very granular level for investigations or for additional information
PROSExcellent BI visualization tool Easy to create new reports Performance of reporting tool is good
CONSCost to extend use to a wide audience is prohibitive Module based licensing can be a barrier to wider use

Monin Review of Decision suite
I have enjoyed working with Ulrik and his team over the past 7 or 8 years. They have always been a great vendor and resource.
PROSI like the ease of use of the product. it is fairly intuitive to use. It comes at a very good price point compared to other BI reporting solutions.
CONSI don't like the fact that upgrades are so painful. The upgrades require a significant amount of effort and time. It would be nice if these upgrades had an easier transition to upgrades.

Outstanding BI Solution
We have made such influential but "below the surface" data become visible, thus enabling us to make smarter decisions in the future and also make moves to fix issues or anomalies in the present. The company is incredible with their support and they have a great portal for customers to submit issues and even ideas in which are usually answered within the same day posted. The growth of the application's features has made this BI suite a force to be reckoned with!
PROSThe progressiveness and adaptability to grab and connect to today's ever advancing technology/data sources.
CONSAt first updating the users' end client software was a big task, but they have rectified this problem by supplying update EXEs and automatic update downloads.

Easy to BI tool that has made a huge impact on the business
Targit is extremely easy for end users. Generally I can get most users competently doing ad hoc analysis work in Targit with just a few hours of training. Visualization tools good. Dynamic time functionality is an absolute must have for any business.
CONSSome of the ability to get creative with the dashboards are a bit limited. Small issue however since we generally keep it simple anyway.
