I come from using Excel for my charting capabilities. Whereas BIME clearly surpasses Excel on many fronts with regards to interactive charting, there are areas where small formatting features are not available.

Although we were able to provide dashboards to our customers, it required that we create a the dashboards with the essential analytics.

From my role, I would personally would like them to include R programming which would be a great support tool in dynamic statistical analysis and predictive modeling. Currently, I have to download the data-set for analysis and it is difficult to deliver outputs with BIME concurrently.

I do not think that they made this software with the user in mind. If you have a small business make sure you hire a tech savy person. If not this will become extremely difficult.

The one issue is that our numbers are put together weekly. When starting out in the process you have to not only type in every date, you also have to put the dates in order. This is very time consuming.

I wish that it had better database management mapping features. Although it is easy to import multiple sources and view them side by side, it is a bit difficult to combine tables together by matching keys and importing columns (a feat that even PowerPivot can do).
