“Excel integration with direct queries”
Pros
We mainly rely on the Excel integration through AfO workbooks, along with the ability to run queries directly. Those are the functions we use most often and they add a lot of value to our daily work.
Cons
One downside is that the integration is very sensitive to technical changes of any kind. For example, when the database was upgraded to the next release version, it caused the BPC-AfO integration to fail.

Pros
It handles multitasking really well and works excellently with other platforms which makes it feel like a very capable and high-level solution.
Cons
There is a huge number of features and learning how to use them takes more time than with other platforms but the time invested is definitely worth it in the end.
