"Provides good data flow related to the container and control flow."
"The solution's initial setup isn't too complicated."
"I like having the ability to connect Excel files as data inputs."
"Previously we used Excel, which took a long time - two or three weeks - to bring the data into a uniform format, whereas BI can do the same job in a day."

"The product’s on-premise reporting servers could support real-time data refreshing capabilities like its on-cloud version."
