Overall Satisfaction with Cube Planning

Cube Planning has vastly improved our ability to budget and compare budget versions to actual performance. It integrates nicely with Netsuite and allows us to continue to work in Google Sheets and Excel while eliminating the need for massive data imports. It also helps us to do scenario analysis and to track changes between forecast versions.
  • The tool is very intuitive and easy to learn.
  • We love the flexibility - it is great that users can operate in either Excel or Google Sheets.
  • The tool ensures that the entire team is referencing the same data - creating a single source of truth for the organization.
  • The support team is extremely responsive and made the integration a breeze.
  • There are small features that could increase ease of use, like suppressing zeroes for reporting.
  • I love that we also have the ability to integrate with our HRIS provider to manage headcount, I would to see this functionality continue to improve so that the integration is as intuitive as the Netsuite one.

  • Single source of truth

Cube is well suited for any team that values flexibility and the ability to easily make changes to reports and budget versions. I've used tools like Adaptive Insights in the past, and Cube is much more flexible. You have the ability to do most of the work within a spreadsheet, while still maintaining a single source of truth and having controls around budget versions, etc.
