The platform helped us automate processes that were previously managed through manual spreadsheets, improving both efficiency and data accuracy. It also enabled us to create a more intuitive user experience for business users. Additionally, the support team was highly responsive and knowledgeable, providing valuable guidance whenever we needed assistance with new implementations or enhancements. > > **Cons**: While Power ON offers extensive functionality, we occasionally experienced performance delays when working with highly complex dashboards or large datasets. Some advanced features also require additional setup and technical knowledge to fully leverage their capabilities. Although these challenges were manageable, there is room for improvement in overall performance optimization and ease of configuration. > > Our overall experience with Power ON has been very positive. The platform has helped us enhance our BI dashboards with greater interactivity, customization, and process automation, reducing the need for manual spreadsheet-based workflows. It has enabled us to deliver a more efficient and user-friendly reporting experience for stakeholders across the organization.

It has eliminated the need for manual tracking in spreadsheets and has created a better user experience for several different use cases. The team at InsightSoftware is extremely responsive and supportive in helping you build out new solutions with their tools. > > **Cons**: At times, we've had slight issues with performance and speed of the solution, but that is to be expected with any direct query style visuals that have as much capability as these visuals. > > Overall, as a 5+ year customer of PowerON, the toolset has really met our team's needs and brought a level of functionality to our dashboards that we were unable to find anywhere else in the marketplace. I would recommend using PowerON's tools if you are looking to bring an extra aspect of functionality, customization, or interactivity to your BI solutions. ----- ### "Power On allows a multitude of ways to tailor data." — 4.0/5 > **Thomas** | *9 May 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked the relative ease of use and the multitude of capabilities that it has.
