FinancialForce Subscription & Usage Billing has proven to be a valuable tool for managing high numbers of active subscribers to television services. Users have been able to streamline their billing processes by leveraging the software's auto-billing capabilities, allowing for efficient and accurate monthly billing. Additionally, the integration with other systems such as Salesforce and CRM has been beneficial for users, enabling seamless interaction between platforms.

Another key use case of FinancialForce Subscription & Usage Billing is integrating it with FinancialForce Accounting. This integration has greatly benefited the Accounting and Finance department. By utilizing this software, users have been able to automate accounts payable processes and provide easy access to vendor and A/P information for other departments. The ability to create dashboards and reports of financial information has also proven useful for sharing crucial data with other teams.

Furthermore, FinancialForce Accounting serves as a reliable accounting system that integrates seamlessly with Salesforce, allowing users to record transactions and generate trial balances. This feature has been particularly helpful in multi-currency environments, as the software's capabilities enable users to reduce manual entries and focus on reporting and planning. Overall, FinancialForce ERP has provided a modern solution for various accounting activities within organizations, addressing problems in areas such as Payables, Receivables, Reporting, and Data Analysis.

Complete end-to-end solution: Users find FinancialForce to be a complete end-to-end solution that extends the functionality of Salesforce Enterprise Edition, allowing for seamless and intuitive processes such as turning sales quotes or orders into invoices. This has been mentioned by multiple reviewers who appreciate the comprehensive nature of the software.

Intuitive user interface: The user interface of FinancialForce is highly praised for its intuitiveness, making it easy for sales and accounting teams to work together and share information efficiently. Multiple users have mentioned this positive aspect, resulting in decreased time to bill and increased user adoption and satisfaction.

Seamless credit processing: Credit processing in FinancialForce follows a similar intuitive path, ensuring smooth operations. Some users have specifically mentioned how seamless the credit processing feature is within the software.

Reporting Engine Overwhelming: Some users have found the reporting engine in FinancialForce overwhelming and difficult to configure and learn, leading to frustration and inefficiency in generating reports.

Lack of Support for Procurement: Several reviewers have mentioned the lack of support for procurement of non-operations goods and services in FinancialForce. This limitation has hindered their ability to effectively manage all aspects of their purchasing processes.

Need for Integration with Expense Reporting App: Many users expressed the need for a simple and straightforward expense reporting and reimbursement app that integrates seamlessly with payable invoices or journals. The absence of such an application offered or supported by FinancialForce has created challenges in managing expenses efficiently.

It works for our team due to the fact we manage a high number of customers who all subscribe to a service and need to be auto-billed monthly on a contract-style basis. This type of billing service would not be well suited for a company that has a small number of customers or a company that has a one-time transaction instead of auto-billing.

I think it is well suited for our current process which involves project management for our services teams which includes implementation and customization. We have found that this has greater flexibility to our overall team as it is easier to add required fields in Salesforce than to request it from NetSuite since we do not currently have a NetSuite administrator.

FFA is a good product if you want the ability to customize functionality and reporting. However, all the setup can be overwhelming if you are looking for an out-of-the-box solution. FFA is a great choice is you are already using Salesforce and want to report on KPIs directly from the source data. There are a lot of applications to help you feed data into the system or export it out in a usable format.

It is good for a small business starting their growth phase. Quickbooks is not very good scaling from a small company to a midsized company. If your company does not have the resources to invest in NetSuite, FinancialForce may be a better option. If your business is not a subscription business, FinancialForce will be easier to manage.

Depending on your sales software, FinancialForce Accounting could be a great option. It has great functionality for multinational businesses (large and small), and integration with sales software gives you the ability to track your sales cycle/expenses through the sales cycle much more easily than without the integration which is very important.

FinancialForce Accounting is a good choice if you are using Salesforce.com in your sales department as the integration with Salesforce.com is great (but be warned that the implementation phase takes a very long time). If you want to be able to run scheduled reports, or set up specific reports then you will find it difficult to do so with FinancialForce Accounting. You need to have a lot of training to set up reports.

For accounting systems, users and/or evaluators often want to see some type of matrix or "heads up" comparisons of specific features and functionality of a system in key areas such as:
1) General Ledger
2) Order to Cash cycle
3) Purchase to Pay cycle
4) Cash management
5) Inventory and/or Cost Accounting (Projects/Jobs, etc)
6) Revenue Recognition
7) Fixed Assets management
8) Budgets
9) Tax
10) Reports and Analysis

It would be great if this kind of matrix existed to be filled in by reviewers so that others could benefit from their perspectives about the applications and how they address or handle the specific features/functionality.

With respect to FinancialForce, the company has found that nearly all the key features it needed were available from the application.
