Spreadsheet Server - Live Connection to the GL

Outstanding, easy to set up tool that keeps my staff in Excel and productive, rather than bothering MIS or struggling with more complicated data warehouses and sequel scripts.

PROS

I like the ease of use and the ease of implementation. Spreadsheet Server connects the regular users directly to the TB and GL of our ERP, directly from Excel. No involvement from MIS.

CONS

When Spreadsheet Server is re-calculating the links to the GL, sometimes Excel bombs.

Ease to Use

The reporting tool helps to retrieve the data near real-time for our management reporting & team can build report based on own formula & well supported with MS Excel, which is very good.

PROS

User friendly & supported with MS Excel Add-in & near real-time data.

CONS

Initial setup & assigning the license for every individual user, mostly requires SPS support team help for complete the setup. Some intermittent issue.

Reason for choosing Spreadsheet Server

The main reason is Near real-time retrieval of data from Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud & cost factor.

Reasons for switching to Spreadsheet Server

We transformed from Oracle EBS ERP system to Oracle Fusion ERP Cloud, due to which we need to switch from Excel4apps to SpreadSheet Server.

We use this product as a replacement for Oracle FSG reports for departmental and location reporting.

Reporting times dropped from 3 to 4 days to overnight.

PROS

The product offers great flexibility, looks at the live data and all hierarchies. Distribution Manager and Profile Scheduler really enhance the reporting functionality.

CONS

Performance is slow particularly for transaction based reports. Updating to the very latest software was of great help but we had to move the transactions to a table for quicker queries. This allowed reports to be able to complete overnight (around 8 hours) but we are limited to only a periods worth of data at a time for transaction based reports. The translated ledgers are not currently working but consolidation ledger are so not a top priority but something to fix in the future.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your thoughtful response, Ray. We¿re happy to hear that you are experiencing success with your reporting times. We have an even more recent update for you, Spreadsheet Server 14.6.4, which includes more enhancements. Contact us at customersuccess@globalsoftwareinc.com to upgrade today!

Reporting tool for Companies who don't want to break the bank but want to customize reporting

We have used Spreadsheet server on two accounting platforms successfully. When we moved to NetSuite updating our reporting to the new Spreadsheet server formulas was easy and didn't require us to re-build reports. We have a great rep, [sensitive content hidden], who is very reliable and eager to assist with any issues.

PROS

Customizable; Connection to accounting system; Allows for formatting; Based in Excel; easy to understand the formulas

CONS

Adding users can be challenging; Excel add-in makes it quirky.

Easy to use and extremely helpful product

spreadsheet server is an essential tool used by our finance department to assist with daily, quarterly and annual tasks. We have been using spreadsheet server at Acushnet Company for many years, and unfortunately we waited too long to upgrade and had some compatibility issues between version 14 and version 24.

PROS

Easy to generate reports and build templates to customize reporting. Support staff is timely to respond back and extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I have worked with Dasharath many times and he has been very helpful and prompt to resolute.

CONS

Can be a little slow performance wise, however the reports sometimes are very large and are calculating lots of data in the background so it is understood why.

I use Spreadsheet Server only twice a year but at those times it's critical.

Because Spreadsheet Server is connected to our general ledger, when we enter a journal entry we get immediate updates in the financial statements.

PROS

Spreadsheet Server is critical in allowing us to produce financial statements that are integrated into our financial software.

CONS

Our financial statements contain many tables and schedules. Because of this, Spreadsheet Server has to look into almost every general ledger account in our system. This results in an initial load time each day of approximately 15-20 minutes. Excel is unavailable for any other use during that time.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review! We are happy to hear that Spreadsheet Server is such a critical part of your financial reporting environment! Our team has just issued a new release, V 14.6, which should significantly improve your load time. We¿ve received very positive feedback on this enhanced capability. Please reach out to your customer success representative for more details or email customersuccess@globalsoftwareinc.com . Thank you, The Spreadsheet Server Team

Timely financial reports

This is helping us with the time it takes to compile reports. We are now able to compile and analyze reports in a fraction of the time we were able to do it before.

PROS

Fast and accurate financial information from software. Easy to use to generate reports for accounting and finances.

CONS

With Oracle Cloud there is no direct connection to the database and requires replication to an alternate database. This means data isn't necessarily real time in our case

Spreadsheet Server - your friend in excel

PROS

I'm using this tool almost every week to make sure that everything is looking fine at the month end and this tool is very easy to use and is making my life easier. It is very easy tool to learn, but you need a little bit of understanding to make sure that you can use every feature there. Customer suppoert is very helpful and guys from IT is making sure that everything is 100% clear.

CONS

Sometimes it has worse days, especially on month end where there is so much going on at once.

Insight Spreadsheet Server for financials

Solid. As noted, I have implemented it in 4 companies as it is easy to learn, very flexible, and intuitive for Excel users.

PROS

It is intuitive. If you can use Excel, it's an add-in. It is very easy to use and flexible for different formats. I've implemented in in several companies due to the poor or overly complicated reporting software they have used in the past.

CONS

You have to be careful not to have too many tabs with formulas, as it can quickly bog the system down and freeze it. As long as the workbook is not too complex, the refresh works very quickly.
