  I interpreted what was said as saying Qualtrics provides a solution that has more flexibility and functionality than Excel. Excel's limitations are much more apparent in "enterprise" class companies.

  Yeah, but those people can also do other things that are more important, and pay a company like qualtrics to handle this boring stuff for them.

  > Managers who can't use Excel like this should be (and probably are) fired quickly For not spending their time dealing with random excel files being thrown around full of raw figures? It's a common way businesses work but it's an absolute nightmare. Dashboards mean a bunch of things, one is that people are all seeing the same figures. Another is that people aren't reimplementing the same analysis code (where you can easily get errors, because it's not necessarily going to be obvious how to do the stats on the results). And a very obvious one is the time it takes. Give me an excel file full of raw numbers and sure, I can pull something together. I can even do it quickly. But I'll bet a boatload of cash I can't do it faster than I can open a link. I could get another dev to spend the time doing it, but without knowing how much Qualtrics charges it's easy to view this as simply being cheaper.
