Overall Satisfaction with Cube Planning

I use Cube Planning for financial reporting as well as forecasting. We upload various budget versions at beginning of the year and then we track our actuals against those in order to evaluate our financial position. Cube saves us a lot of time when it comes to transitioning actuals from QBO to our financial reports.
  • Integration between Cube and QBO
  • Ease of us of Cube in Excel or Google Sheets
  • White glove customer service
  • The only area where I find it a bit difficult is that Cube is very sensitive and it won't pull information in if one thing is off. However, I also completely understand why that is so.
  • Integration with QBO
  • Integration with Excel/Google Sheets
  • White glove service
  • Time saver
  • Accuracy
  • Data aggregate
Cube is more affordable than other finance products that are out there. I have also tried Plan Guru, but ran into issues as Plan Guru desktop version was only for PC's and cloud version did not have the same capabilities as the desktop version, so it was a catch-22.

The tool’s greatest benefit lies in its ability to automate and simplify complex budgeting and forecasting practices. It is best suited if you have a lot of data that needs to be organized in different ways. Cube basically acts like data storage which allows you to pivot this data based on the analytics that you need.
