Our employees love that it still looks like Excel, so the transition was smooth. > > **Cons**: It takes a lot of dedication and time to test and fully implement, although I think that would be true for any budgeting software since each company is unique. There are some sorting features that I'd like Limelight to have the capability of doing with the click of a button versus manually (sorting by employee name, account number etc), but they told me they've let their development team know so hopefully it will be a feature in the near future. ----- ### "Exceptional product" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *June 10, 2019* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the ease of use and the availability of reports it's capable of producing. It's helped with our closes and FP\&A reporting tremendously\! > > **Cons**: There isn't much if anything that I haven't liked with this software. It's super easy to use and allows instant reporting for financial presentations. > > It's allowed us to supply the Business unit leaders with the proper financial reporting and give them insight to each and every account down to the penny. It's opened up a number of possibilities in regards to budgeting better and forecasting on the fly. Limelight has allowed us to hold better control of our expenditures. Love this product\! ----- ### "Limelight 3 mths in" — 4.0/5 > **Noel** | *May 2, 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** | *January 11, 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. ----- ### "Limelight Review" — 5.0/5 > **Frank** | *June 6, 2019* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has enabled our company to have instant P\&L reporting , whereas in the past we had to make manual reports every time to needed to run financial data. > > **Cons**: The only thing i don't like is that I cannot drill down to GL activity. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114539/limelight?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114539/limelight) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
