More powerful alternatives to RCE for reporting?

I'm trying to get a pulse on RCE alternatives. I used RCE for 2 years but my new company doesn't have that upgrade. So I figured in knowing the limitations we faced with RCE to check for alternatives. What is everyone using for their revenue reporting?

Just curious Naor, what were your biggest pain points with RCE?

Re: More powerful alternatives to RCE for reporting?

I found that the fields you're able to access are limited to the report type, which makes it difficult if you want to utilize custom fields to slice and dice. Eventually we were able to get it to where we wanted, but it still feels clunky. With a $10k upgrade on the line, I am just curious what everyone else is using and perhaps there's a better solution at a similar cost.

I'm assuming you're now aware that you can add custom fields as additional dimensions to select reports:
