“High Customizability Brings Both Flexibility and Complexity to Database Querying”

3.0
Nov 14, 2025
We initially thought our users would be more independent than they are, 16 months after deployment. Because there are so many ways for "lay people" to query the database, there are so many ways that those queries can go wrong. The tool is extremely customizable, which is an enormous plus! But that has also been our downfall. It's difficult to make this system work for all of our users, with vastly varying levels of data skills.

Performance of Advancement RM Across Market Features

Advancement RM Likes & Dislikes

Like

Overall, our users (even the non-technical ones) seem to be self-sufficient after thorough training. They like the fact that they can follow their chain of thought as they move through their portfolio or through a report. Every item is clickable.

Dislike

I think the high level of customization can be a double-edge sword. Every advancement division is unique, which plays into the need for customization. But that very customization can have cascading problems as a result.
