Editors' review
Priced for teams where analyst time is the expensive resource
At $24,000 a year, the comparison is not against other spreadsheets but against the cost of the analyst rebuilding the same report every month. For a finance team of five that maths can work.
Connecting a spreadsheet to production needs a read replica and careful permissions. Involve whoever owns the database before the trial.
Verdict
Justifiable where recurring reporting consumes real analyst time. Expensive otherwise.
