IBM Controller Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Enterprise Architect at Veidekke4.0I primarily utilize IBM Controller for consolidating company results and yearly reporting. It benefits from strong user support and efficient consolidation, though I'm concerned about the complex delivery model. A shift to a simpler cloud-based service could yield significant savings.
