  • Excellent output of analytical data

Cons

  • Cost is a little much for something we could do in house, given, it would take us much longer
  • Would be better to be more compatible with other analytical software
  • Could improve on code editing capabilities

Pros

  • It has been great for configuring and representing data trends for our own company as well as our clients.
  • It is very helpful for viewing and understanding trends within our own datasets without being too overwhelming
  • The user interface is very streamlined and doesn't take too long to learn so there isn't a lot of time wasted.

Cons

  • The program is great for code editing/management but can be hard to use in conjunction with other programs for an output source
  • A few of the display options don't look as appealing to clients as I would like. More customizing options would be a big help, so our clients (and some employees) could understand it better
