Overall Satisfaction with Cube Planning
We use Cube Planning primarily for month end reviews of the P&L, as well as our team budgeting process. As we use Google Sheets for most things, Cube Planning has allowed us to easily upload our team budgets and then create consolidated views in any way we like (by brand, total company, detailed, or not). It really helps us quickly aggregate our information quickly with ease, and then make decisions more quickly.
- Version control
- Creating models with ease
- Aggregating data to allow for further manipulation
- You must download your information to be able to see or use it - there's no way to view a version in the online platform
- Dashboards are currently not useful - you must build them yourself separately
- Data aggregation
- Ability to use with Google Sheets and Excel with the add-on
- Has saved 5+ hours each month at the very least, depending on how many times you need to rebuild forecasts it could be more
- Confidence in the numbers and the model, because the source data is secured within Cube Planning and can't be messed with by other members
Planful was just a bit too advanced (and costly) for what we needed at this point of our company (much like Adaptive). With those types of platforms, you really do need a consultant to help create the needs specific to your personal business, which ends up adding costs. Causal was a really great tool as well, but not quite what we needed for our business.
