The team at Limelight really "gets it" -- they should open a recruiting service\! > > **Cons**: Some basic items had to be requested -- such as printing on 11x17 paper -- but Limelight is nimble and addresses any concerns. > > Limelight allows considerable flexibility to drill-down within reports to see what was driving a specific reported result or variance. ----- ### "Simple Solution" — 4.0/5 > **Alyssa** | *11 January 2023* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is simple to use and resembles Excel in many ways which made it an easy switch for our users. > > **Cons**: The end user does not have much control/ability to customize reports (i.e. they cannot sort based on any column; that is hard coded in the back of the report). > > Limelight has automated much of our budgeting process and makes it easy to create management and board reports off this information. ----- ### "Limelight 3 mths in" — 4.0/5 > **Noel** | *2 May 2019* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software offers a lot of flexibility. I can present data in report format which is much more useful than the typical dashboard presentation views in other tools. The ability to use limelight for both data collection applications as well as distribution is great. The natural connectivity to Essbase means I don't have to invest much time in changing my existing reporting platforms to leverage limelight. I have had the tool now for 3 months and have successfully written over 30 reports that will serve 100+ users easily. My management team is excited about what we will be able to do with limelight to minimize data management overhead within the finance organization. > > **Cons**: Graphing needs to be enhanced. Some small tweaks to report development would go along way. Looking forward to seeing version 3. > > The support I am getting from the limelight team is the best I have ever experienced with a software company. I reach out to them, and they are immediately trying to help me out. Great group of people. ----- ### "Limelight Review" — 5.0/5 > **Frank** | *6 June 2019* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has enabled our company to have instant P\&L reporting , whereas in the past we had to make manual reports every time to needed to run financial data. > > **Cons**: The only thing i don't like is that I cannot drill down to GL activity. ----- ### "Currently in implementation...." — 4.0/5 > **Bruce** | *7 June 2019* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The implementation process has been proceeding on schedule and our implementation consultant truly understands the FP\&A function which has added great value to the process. While we're not yet complete with the implementation, the process has been very flexible allowing complete customization to our company specific requirements, including reporting We are looking forward to our user acceptance testing and go-live. > > **Cons**: At this point in our process, I have not identified any cons and the application is on a path to function as advertised and provide the value and efficiencies we were seeking as we move away from an Excel based planning tool. > > Experience to-date has been very good from the start of the engagement, through the sales process and contact signing. The Lime light sales team was very easy to work with and were not your typically "sign-a-deal today" type of crew which was refreshing. We have not yet pushed Limelight into a production environment, but are confident that the cloud-based planning and reporting solution will greatly improve efficiencies and controls with our annual planning and quarterly forecasting process. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/114539/limelight?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/114539/limelight) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
