Some of the features cost extra money. Poor code requires constant updates and can't able to look back at transactions.

They have poor customer service for an even worse product. Issues regularly and no resolve.

The integration of all of the packages and the easy customization to your needs. I like that you can get as much detail or as little detail as you require on your reports.

It seems like Cougar forgot all the lessons they learned through their DOS and CMS products. The reports are terrible and less informative than those in CMS.

It is a super value when you see all that it can do. Plus it is not just for mom and pop.

We are just getting ready to go live with Denali, have been practicing on it and it seems very user friendly.

Many features not right. My CPA hates the software.

He was thorough, responsive and very friendly. I highly recommend Cougar Mountain.

We have had Cougar Mountain software for a while and are very happy with the product and customer services.

This review is for the 4.1.1 version. I am told the new version corrects some of the defects -- but they have miles and miles and miles and miles to go to catch up to their ACT version.

The trainer was awesome and the few times we have needed tech support I have been pleased with their responsiveness.

I like the integration of the modules (ie.e purchase order, to inventory, to accounts payable, to general ledger). This speeds up all data entry.

I had to convert to DENALI due to an OS upgrade. I have never been so disappointed in a Cougar Mountain product.

I use the Denali Payroll and it is very easy to use and the software support people are great.

They have messed up our Customer notes and can not fix so now we really have a mess. When I ask a question, I am told they can not answer that and they don't know why the reports look the way they do.

The Program writers did a great job with the transitioning into Denali. The Software is easy to access, understand and maneuver though.

For the money, the features are excellent and I challenge you to find a better product in the price range. We have been using CMS since 1992.

We really like being able to archive reports rather than printing reams. Overall, this software is great.

Poor code requiring constant updates/fixes. Which most time is Full 3gb.

The Support Staff is outstanding. Every time I have needed them they have solved the problem or answered my question successfully.

The customer service is beyond awesome. Not only are they extremely knowledgeable, they are eager to help learn the product and use it to its full capabilities for your application.

I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.
