The company I am working for is about to start using Argus Enterprise and we are going through training next week.
I have heard it is a great system but it obviously it cannot be perfect. I am curious to know from the people that have been using it for a while where the software could be improved, where it falls short with helping you model different investments, etc.

It makes modeling reimbursement, one-off major changes, and MLA really easy, but obviously Argus cant run return metrics and waterfall.
The portfolio level reporting could use a lot of improvements. I hate having to export everything as a excel
What did you use previously to buy assets? or what product type are you focused on?
Argus can’t run debt assumptions very well. You’ll basically take your cash flow and export to excel then overlay your purchase, debt and returns assumptions. Haven’t really heard of it used in the multi-space either.
in terms of trigger period? I.e. cash flow sweep
I mean my experience was that even inputting and adjusting IO/Am periods and much more basic assumptions that cash sweeps, etc. was clunky and inefficient compared to dropping the cash flow into an Excel model and overlaying.
Has anyone tried using the "Argus AE" tab in the Excel ribbon and had success? The outputs are overly complex and it seems like copy and pasting is more efficient. Or do I need to build a macro?
