Reviews of iLEVEL
iLEVEL at General Atlantic
Comments: We have used iLEVEL for more than three years and have had an excellent experience. The platform is very well designed and the company is very high quality across the board ranging from fundamental technology through customer service and support. iLEVEL has allowed us to improve and expand almost every single process at our firm, and has done so without the need to add headcount or require external consulting. The focus of iLEVEL in the area of ongoing development of their platform is also very impressive.
Pros:
- The fundamental data structure - Quality of the technology platform
Cons:
- Lack of flexibility in portal design / layout (it is still very well done but there are several areas where being able to customize the visualization on the portal would be very helpful)
Customizable, easy to use, and great for normalizing the financial statements uploading process
Comments: We are a family office/real estate private equity firm that typically enters into joint ventures with developers and property managers. This means we get financial statements in all shapes and sizes. We were looking for a systematic way to gather financials statements, upload easily, consolidate and report in the cloud. A big hurdle we faced was finding a simple straight forward process to upload the financial statements into the system. iLEVEL's Fusion product helps us easily map the financials from each respective property and upload it into the cloud, regardless of the financial statement format, i.e. MRI, Entrata, Yardi, Quickbooks. iLEVEL's Excel plugin's is very impresseive with its ability to pull data from the cloud directly into a specific cell rather than downloading a table of data on another tab and then using formulas to pull from that table. The plugin also gives you the ability to "put" data back into the cloud from Excel, so the two way data transfer is a pretty nice feature. iLEVEL's web portal has a lot of functionality and gives us the ability to customize views and create formulas that are specific to reports we have created. There are some slight limitations to views and tables that we have asked about and have had positive response from the team about integrating. Overall, when you really dig into the functionality of iLEVEL, you quickly realize that it was designed by professionals that have worked in private equity and understand the requirements and needs.
Pros:
Well thought out software by private equity professionals
Cons:
Some of the tables and custom views are limited
