16. Alea의 성능평가(1/2) 장점
- The end-user Excel add-in : the nicest spreadsheet add-in
(much more intuitive than the add-in provided by Essbase)
- no trouble understanding the structure of the data right away
- drag and drop dimensions in the Excel Alea Viewer
to create meaningful reports in minutes
- very good for budgeting applications, since it allows you
to write data to the hypercube
MIS ALEA

17. Alea의 성능평가 (2/2)
- Flexibility in writing rules and implementing business logic
is strong 단점
- The data import features are still fairly immature
(Most real-world situations won't allow you to use the
Quick Import feature due to limitations like only being
able to bring in one value (measure). So if your cube has
more than one measure, you can't use Quick Import.)
