EASA eliminates these issues while also providing you the ability to make powerful enhancements to your spreadsheet application including: - incorporating full relational database functionality with central storing of all spreadsheet data, - workflow management such as approvals and e-signatures, - integration with, and in some cases into other systems such as CRM, ERP and corporate databases, - integration with other software tools, - replacing the spreadsheet based user interface with a browser accessed web page ideal for remote office situations as well as for SaaS type solutions, - Mobile device access is enabled. EASA customers benefit from a solution that first appeared in 2003, and one that customers build their own "Excel to Web" applications without any programming (low code architecture) and installed on your network or cloud of choice. Common applications include CPQ, financial modeling, insurance raters and engineering calculators but applications are as diverse as spreadsheets themselves. EASA is almost always a far less expensive, faster, easier to maintain, scalable and less risky solution compared to writing custom code from scratch or replacing with a costly and often inflexible single purpose commercial tool. > > Verdict: Rated **4.3/5** by 14 users.

These sorts of Excel calculators are heavily used in our enterprise, but they are not very well curated. This is EASA's sweet spot and it has served us well. Additionally, we receive very good support from EASA when it is needed. In the course of about 4-5 years we have been able to effectively deploy 30+ EASA apps across our enterprise. > > **Cons**: Some Excel formatting does not port well to EASA apps. This can be considered a nuisance-type issue, not a major roadblock. The EASA team is working to resolve some of these issues in future releases. EASA license costs are a deterrent to adoption. Users often use Excel license cost (which appears to the user to be essentially free within our enterprise) as the baseline when comparing to EASA. A fair amount of "value selling" of EASA benefits is required to overcome this hurdle. > > Overall, EASA has enabled our organization to convert many of our Excel tools (and other types of tools as well) to EASA apps. We are happy with EASA software and with EASA's support as a company. ----- ### "EASA Review" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *6 July 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: EASA allows non-expert I.T. to leverage existing complex excel worksheets and models that contain Macros and create a web application that works the same as it did on a desktop for minimal cost and time. Also they Host your platform which frees up my time. > > **Cons**: Being able to handle dynamic content is a little lacking > > Great\!, Customer support is excellent, any issues are addressed in a timely and professional manner . ----- ### "Hiding your Excel "application" behind a front end? What a terrible idea" — 1.0/5 > **Michail** | *21 June 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It seems that the software is a pleasure for management, because it makes them think they have solved the Excel "application" shadow IT problem > > **Cons**: Hiding Excel behind a front end to make it look like a web app is a TERRIBLE idea. It comes with all the problems of maintaining business logic within Excel and is also painfully slow, what could take seconds to do in Excel takes more than 10 minutes to execute behind EASA, while also removing any portability. So unless you only have only very basic business logic in your Excel (in which case I guess you'd be better off transferring it to Sharepoint), you're up for huge performance problems. And you also do nothing to make your application more maintainable, because you're still stuck with all the drawbacks of developing within Excel. > > I have to use it because my employer adopted it. I am not sure whether the platform it runs on has been properly sized but, whatever the reason, the resulting "web application" it is a nightmare to work with. ----- ### "Enabling Innovation to securely improve work processes" — 4.0/5 > **Michael** | *26 June 2022* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - The product is highly configurable over the top of a spreadsheet. The configurable ability enables the creation of a user friendly and intuitive web interface - It enables us to protect our developed IP securely while sharing capability to our stakeholders. In this sense it has enabled us to expedite and innovate. > > **Cons**: The latency between entering a value in the webform cell and it being in the spreadsheet. It has been reported as tricky/irritating. I would like to get some reports from the system on usage. > > We had a challenging purchasing experience, mainly constrained from our side as an international client, but the EASA team were patient and helpful. The team have been supportive and highly responsive to our installation, training needs, setup and problem solving ----- ### "A Web Application Based on Excel" — 4.0/5 > **Garret** | *2 May 2024* | Chemicals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We had a lot of issues internally with the project manager and the person building our version in excel leaving. We ended up meandering for quite a while with an unfinished project and eventually we were able to hire someone to help get it finished. This project unfortunately took several years to complete but we are now happy with the final product. They were as patient as can be an worked with us to help navigate the internal issues we were facing. Overall for what we wanted to accomplish I believe we got good value out of this project. > > **Cons**: I think one of the other reviewers mentioned something fair which is the platform isn't set up to handle something as dynamic like adapting to screen size. We had to set a px size for the application independent of the size of the screen users used. The event handling also came up with our internal programmer. The browser and the excel file don't always synchronize responsively so extra workarounds had to be made and troubleshooting on how to successfully do them. > > I would first like to mention the stars above may not directly line up with our experience. We had an initial excel application we wanted to get online for people within our company, clients and potential clients to use. To have a web developer build something like this from scratch would have been very expensive. We had a smaller budget and were looking for something we could have built for us and then have taken over the reigns to modify it without a ton of ongoing expenses or having to reach out to the developer to make every little change. With a combination of the EASA team building the web app through their platform and a colleague learning the ins-and-outs of coding and how their framework works, we were able to successfully complete our project and make most changes in-house. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/360898/easa-cpq?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/360898/easa-cpq) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
