Performance of CostPerform Across Market Features

CostPerform Likes & Dislikes

Like

Some of the features that are remarkable include - Comprehensive cost reporting dashboard, customizable reports for different stakeholders, and lastly supporting export export to excel/pdf format of report.

Like

I appreciate the flexibility CostPerform, as it is costing framework agnostic, it offers predictive analysis and scenario planning, and it has an ETL capability for automated data acquisition.

Like

The system is to the core robust, flexible and well able to handle our costing analysis issues

Dislike

The tool falls back on a legacy GUI interface which needs to be more robust to better the end user customer experience. Some of the implementation requires cumbersome navigation which requires significant training.

Dislike

It is not wizard driven so that models must be built manually, it has limited inherent dashboarding capabilities, and it does nit have pre-defined report generation options.

Dislike

System navigation is somewhat cumbersome, could be made easier. Importing data for new model should be from customized files, not only standard filenames. Calculating model ought to be multiple runs instead of only 1 run
