“sharing data is easy”
Pros
Across the organization, this software makes sharing data between different teams much simpler and gives us one reliable source of truth instead of juggling multiple spreadsheets and data sources. The interface being in Excel for most business users especially with cubes, is a big advantage because anyone already comfortable with Excel pivot tables can start using it with almost no learning curve. Permission management is easy and the ability to impersonate different users is something I really appreciate. It's also very convenient that the system can be accessed directly through the browser.
Cons
I'd really like to see email alerts whenever a job failure occurs. Updates to hierarchies can also take longer than expected at times. That said, EBM has been making plenty of improvements lately, including UI updates that should give users more visibility and control, along with SQL Enterprise which is expected to cut cube processing time by more than 3x.
