Pros
They are always positive and eager to help in any way. They take the time to create short training videos for specific questions and the responsiveness is amazing.
I am very impressed with the professionalism of the Cosmos team. Their commitment to customer success is clear.
Very pleasant and wonderful. Any time I need help [sensitive content hidden.
Cons
The inability to build Tables, Pivot Tables or use Power Query within a report.
We haven't yet encountered any disappointments or elements that we think don't work well.
The only issue I can imagine is not having access to the platform if you have no internet but I haven’t experienced anything that.

One the most Helpful reporting tools I have found

Reviewed a year ago

The team at Cosmos did an excellent job of explaining the setup and how to use the program. Any questions that we had during implementation they immediately took the time to show and explain the solutions

Pros

The ease of setting up new reports. It is very straight forward and makes sense

Cons

Hard to say as I really don't have any negative about the program

Great reporting format, excellent support.

Reviewed a year ago

Excellent. In a world of do-it-yourself support, it's very refreshing to find a product that includes quick, complete, easy to access and personable support. Both the onboarding process and transitioning to full use of Cosmos has been very smooth.

Pros

Works well with our cloud-based Business Central accounting software; works for both our PC and Mac users. Report writing is straightforward; there's a learning curve of course, but support is readily available with quick turnaround. Very user-friendly interface for our report consumers. Quick set up, easy login, most reports run very quickly and can be run concurrently. Scheduling function is great.

Cons

Our Cosmos database updates overnight. We can do an unscheduled refresh, but that takes roughly 45-60 minutes. Working with day-old data has been a little bit of an adjustment vis-a-vis our old reporting system. For 80% of our reports, the data is fine. For month end work, we're finding ways to adjust or work around the updates. There are a few reporting functions that I'd like to see -- I know that the Cosmos team is working on these enhancements (e.g. report option dropdowns, hiding of rows and columns).

Cosmos Review - Green Key Resources - Accounting Manager Perspective

Reviewed a year ago

Exceptionally well as we were able to successfully set up individual reports in Cosmos for our TB and P&L; however, we are still in the build out phase and will be implementing a packet based approach to our financials in the coming months.

Pros

The customization and customer support for assistance since it is a new type of software language most individuals are not used to.

Cons

The time it takes to refresh the Pipeline and produce new reports.

Highly Recommend!

Pros

Cosmos is extremely user friendly and intuitive to use. I can build a complex financial report within hours. The data reliability is top notch, I have had zero issues with data validation. The entire team is fantastic to work with. They are extremely responsive, and all have a ton of knowledge. They're a great company to partner with long term.

Cons

There are a few complex data transformations that could be added but ultimately there's still ways to do everything you need with your data, especially compared to other tools of its kind.

DWF Review

Reviewed a year ago

Very pleasant and wonderful. Any time I need help [sensitive content hidden] will help weather it's on a call with me or in his own time. We have created so very unique and difficult reports and I appreciate his help.

Pros

I really like that once I have the report created and set on a schedule, I don't have to think about it again. It is nice to not manually do these reports every day.

Cons

I am still learning a ton about cosmos and really about BC, so I think the most difficult thing for me now is that I can't fully create a report myself without needing some extra help from Cosmos.
