### "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.

### "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.

>
